F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter arrives for display at Reagan Library

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (KABC) -- An F-117 Stealth fighter was towed along Southern California roads to arrive for display at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.

The F-117 Nighthawk, nicknamed "Unexpected Guest," entered service in 1984 during Reagan's presidency. It flew 78 combat sorties, more than all the other F-117s combined, according to the library.

It joins other aircraft on display at the library, including Air Force One. It will be exhibited outdoors, near the library's F-14 aircraft.

Lockheed Martin in the Antelope Valley restored and prepared the aircraft for display.

A formal ribbon-cutting ceremony for the aircraft is expected on Dec. 7.
