Damn, I’m old. It just doesn’t seem to be possible they could be retiring the F-117.

But its also hard to imagine kids born when Clinton was President getting the driver’s licenses.

I can’t believe they are being retired this soon. Must cost a fortune to keep them flying. The first time I ever saw one was driving by Holloman AFB from Alamogordo to White Sands Natl. Park. As we drove by the base one took off right over our heads. Amazing. It made our day.

I suspect they’ll occasionally pull one or two out of retirement for special missions.

IF they are in good shape, I don’t see why we retire them. If they have been maintained well they should still work.

It’s not a fighter, it’s just a small bomber.
