That aircraft was ‘Article 784’, the fifth full-scale
development F-117A, and it was destroyed at the US Air Force’s
Plant 42 site in Palmdale, Calif after being stripped of all
useable and secret items..

All the remaining operational Blackjets were retired to
Tonopah. (other than the 4 now in museums)

Interesting. Thanks.
