  We present 5-28 micron SOFIA FORECAST spectroscopy complemented by
panchromatic X-ray through infrared observations of the CO nova V5668 Sgr
documenting the formation and destruction of dust during 500 days following
outburst. Dust condensation commenced by 82 days after outburst at a
temperature of 1090 K. The condensation temperature indicates that the
condensate was amorphous carbon. There was a gradual decrease of the grain size
and dust mass during the recovery phase. Absolute parameter values given here
are for an assumed distance of 1.2 kpc. We conclude that the maximum mass of
dust produced was 1.2 x 10-7 solar masses if the dust was amorphous carbon. The
average grain radius grew to a maximum of 2.9 microns at a temperature of 720 K
around day 113 when the shell visual optical depth was Tau = 5.4. Maximum grain
growth was followed by followed by a period of grain destruction. X-rays were
detected with Swift from day 95 to beyond day 500. The Swift X-ray count rate
due to the hot white dwarf peaked around day 220, when its spectrum was that of
a kT = 35 eV blackbody. The temperature, together with the super-soft X-ray
turn-on and turn-off times, suggests a WD mass of 1.1 solar masses. We show
that the X-ray fluence was sufficient to destroy the dust. Our data show that
the post-dust event X-ray brightening is not due to dust destruction, which
certainly occurred, as the dust is optically thin to X-rays.
