85-0818 “The Overachiever”, that went to Udvar-Hazy, was my assigned F-117 for the three years i was in the program assigned to the 8th Fighter Squadron, now over 20 years ago. She was selected for Udvar-Hazy because she was the only one of the fleet of 117s to be part of all four combat operations that the 117 participated in, hence her name christened upon her. The rest of the fleet participated in one, two, or in some cases three of them; but none did all four.
She was a good bird, even if she did often look a little ragged and worn on her exterior as can be seen here. But that was by design and not by neglect.
