I bought today the magazine Combat Aircraft and what I read on page 6 & 7 was not good. Or mine English is getting worse or I read it good, but there I saw it standing: By the end of 2008 are all F-117a retired! The first 10 will be out next year. Have somebody more information about this?

Yes it is True. It was Definately an innovater of its Time. But like all past things theirs a replacement in Operation Today.

The F-22 and obviously the B-2 are at LEASTE as stealthy as the F-117 if not a great deal more. Remember the F-117 was 1st or 2nd generation stealth from nearly 30 years ago. She's getting old now and has done her job to perfection.

A 45 has a muzzle.
A 9mm has a bullet vent.

Not to mention keeping her in the air. She's not designed for two flights a day(which is what we tried to fly with her)-even with parts-more like a couple a week. The hours are getting up there, and as mentioned, we're mass producing a better plane.

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