Found these 2 pic's on a F-117 website. Man this is just so wrong in so many ways!
I had the chance to crawl around the "Wobbly-Goblin" a few times in the 80's when it was still in Tonopah. Had many friends working the program, as I was working a program nearby.
Maybe its just me, but I never liked the acft and to see it with the "Sacred Shark Teeth" is almost enough to make one <img src=newicons/anim_puke.gif border=0 align=middle>

Agreed here as I have said several times. The tiger teeth belong on on the flying tigers or thier direct decendants at Pope.

Just cross out "machine gun" and write in "pizza"

It is ugly on that plane.It don't looks agressive, more funny. If you say "Shark Teeth" you say "Flying Tigers".

I'm agreeing with him here though. That's just hideous. Perhaps if it was done differently, but <img src=newicons/anim_puke.gif border=0 align=middle>, it just doesn't work on that plane.

Ignorance may be bliss, but it sure ain't fun!

I thought the Whole idea of the F-117 was for it to have "Radar deflecting skin" etc...... AND BLACK!

That really SUCKS!

I came across these same pics a while ago. Well, it doesn't feel that long ago, but checking the old thread date, yeah, over 2 years ago.

Go to the page linked to in my old thread and it has the story behind the photos.

Assault is a type of behavior, not a type of rifle.

That makes as much since as putting racing strips on a hearse. The only thing I can think of that would look worse would be to add a spoiler to a tank!<img src=newicons/spit.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=newicons/anim_puke.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle>

Lol.....didn't anyone get the message on the 23rd FG replacing the Hogs out?


They're all heading to the boneyard....or other storage places.....in the next year and a half.

Weapons school for the 117 decommissioned in a ceremony this morning. Test Det closes next Friday. 7th FS (FTU) decommissions this December.

Museums are fighting over getting one.

My bad Jack...........I have read thru alot of the archives, just guess I missed that one!
You were right when you said that was an interesting site. I found it from a link off of englandafb.com.

Interesting info there Mr Bandit!
So if the 23rd is getting rid of the Hog, why the move to Moody and all the apparent upgrades with SLEP and whatever else?
Figure your just cracking on us ex 23rd guys....but had to ask the "Q"!

I spent hours and hours reading everything on f117a.com. The page you got there from, englandafb.com, has some links to some damn good pages, some with outstanding pictures of the Hog.

Assault is a type of behavior, not a type of rifle.
