hy every one, maybe it is a stupid question I go to ask.

They where very expensive so it would be a shame if thet demolish them. Will they really demolish them?

Or are they somwhere waiting to be retrofitted with air to air combat arms?

That was one cool plane. Sad to see it retire. At least we still have the B2.

[F22RaptorFF]

ya butthe F-22 is more stealthy and yes the B2 is like da bomb lol.

o ya nice tribute dude

i will truly miss them.

its a real shame that we are getting rid of all of our best weapons. f 14 now f 117

[F22RaptorFF]

well the F-22 is more stealthy than the F-117. suprizing but it is. i still think we should have kept at least 10

[215alessio]

Thats great that they re-use them in some way.

I hope to see them in Europe in some air show, just to see them flying is already auwesome in an air show, they don't have to do acrobacy.

Probobly spare parts. So yeah, probobly scraped.

[LuxuryAndExotics]

I wonder where is all the retired F-117s I know they have not been scraped.They gotta be in storage somewhere.

to free up money that was being spent on this to keep it up and so that money could be used for the more stealthier F-22.
