F-117 to be Retired


The first (well what the Air Force said is the first) stealth fighter is to be retired. The aircraft will make its final flight to Tonopah Test Range Airfield in Nevada on April 21st. It seems as if the new F-22 Raptor got everyone so excited that there is no need for the F-117. Out of the 59 total produced 37 have already been retired prior to this announcement.
