Are you sure? Seriously, imagine, you got bad can opener with each bottle. Will you store HUNDREDS of unnecessary things when you have other good quality (F-35 instead of F-117)?

Are you really know, how expensive jet service? What you know about top secret military jet service costs?

Or may be you think, you could just drop F-117 on parking even without guard? Sure, why guard them, when they should guard themselves? ;)



I'm just saying that faulting a F-117 for not being a dog fighter is silly when it was designed to be a bomber.

The real reason to retire the F-117 was because the B-2 could stealthily deliver more bombs anyways and they wanted to free up funding for other projects, not because the F-117 couldn't dog fight. That wasn't its job.


Well, I partially agree. But F-117 is too tiny for bomber. It's like top trunk for auto.

BTW, Lockheed offered to create larger variant, but Boeing project chosen.
