Goodbye nighthawk. It is still unbealievable that this airframe is 30 years old. Though "obsolete" by F-22 standards, it still has a smaller radar cross section than the Rafale, and the Eurofighter.
I wonder what will replace it? Any guesses? My money is on the JSF?
"The general noted the F-117 and the technology behind it are now a "quarter of a century old." The first plans for the F-117 were drawn up in the 1960s, he noted. The fighter first flew in 1981. Technological advances in the military and changes in the way wars are fought are making the fighter obsolete."
