It's a pity this aircraft has been retired from service it was really good - but the US has replaced with something far more advanced and in my opinion a fucking awesome aircraft the best there is today the F-22 Raptor - even though the F-35 lightning II was manufactured at the same time for stealth fighting F-22 Raptor is the ONE
im surprised it doesnt lose its padding at those speeds plus pilots g reaction,i heard tell of an f-119 any you dudes heard that story a bit like this lil sis:)
But, the F-117 can carry more stuff then the F-22, so if bigger cargo is better in this case than yes, but if its a speed related thing, then no... the F-22 wins by an arseload.
the F-35 is to weighed down buy its giant lift fan thats a dead wheight durring air compat limiting its performance. personaly i dont see why they didnt try a more conventional aproch like down ward thrust vectoring
huh? u know that f-117 is old garbage right? it ain't no fighter. f-22 is THE air superiority fighter in the world. countries replace old garbage with the new tech.
4 months? haha its gonna be a lil longer than that they are pahseing them out slowly so shouldnt be anytime soon cuz i still see them flyin aroung going to work.
A company in the England is claiming that they can detect using mobile phone masts. Is this true????Roke Manor Research at Romsey in Hampshire claims they have used mobile phome masts to do this.Can anyone tell me can a space based radar looking down detect stealth.
remember this plan because after 2008 they will all be retired, have their wings removed, and be sealed away in their original hangers in nevada. the airforce is retireing them because they are obsolete and the f-22 and f-35 can do a more effective job at the bombing role even though they are designed as front line fighters.
actually from the reports ive read the raptor is close to equal in stealth to the f-117, you gotta remember the f-117 was designed in the mid 70's and it looks the way it does because the computers used to compute a stealty shape back then were archeic.
but yes he is comparing a light bomber to an air dominace fighter. raptor is far faster, alot more manuverable, and unlike the f-117 is actually capable of air to ari combat, the f-117 does not carry air to air weapons
plus with US Tactics, we would rain AGM-88 HARMs on that radar nest until it is no more before we send our jets in there. The HARM is a high speed missile designed to destroy radar sites from long range. it is fast and very accurate. my father was involved in testing them at Dugway Proving Grounds back in the late 90's
Yeah like a cute little harmless frog that will sneak up on you in the night and unleash hell then vanish without a trace..get with the winning side already.
that is a misunderstanding, the "Wobblin Goblin was actually the Have Blue prototype that was the basis for the f-117, the Nighthawk actually flys just as smooth as any other small military jet.
F-117 is not so stealth as you think.
Serbs know how to take him down.
In 1999. two of them was shooted down, and one was demaged.
Serbs used NEVA S-125M SAM sistem.
NEVA S-125 is russian sistem which was improved by serbian army to standard-M.
After that they was pulled from action.
Go to see this.

And yet 1999 was the only war won completely using air power in the history of the world.

F-117= maybe mach 0.8 or 0.9,

If you mean like the Harrier then the reason is because it makes the jet too slow.

Jorge, you're comparing a strike fighter/bomber to a fighter.
Don't be so so naive.
I can bet you that a F-22 cannot fly into the middle of a radar nest without getting hit, whereas the Nighthawk has superior stealth.

They were originally going to call it the FB-117 for fighterbomber, but they wanted to attract fighter pilots to the program, not bomber pilots.

Pretty crazy, huh?
And did you know the first one (prototype, if you will) was designed as fighter?

I never knew the F-22 stealth was nearly equal to the F-117. Amazing what 30 and some odd years will do...
