Retirement of the F-117

OK, I will still wait for the 'word' from my man on the inside - but Wikipedia suggests that the F-22 and the F-35 will be the eventual replacements.

The F-117 wasn't based out here, but it would be nice to get one for the Hill AFB museum, as I don't recall one being there the last time I went.

It's no real secret. It's the FA-22 Raptor.

It'd make mincemeat out of an F-117.

Aurora a failure? Heh, that's just what they want you to think.

Nah, not for me. They get terrible gas mileage and parking is a bitch. Of course on the other hand no dingle-cheese in an Escalade or Hummer is going to cut you off...
