“What’s interesting - “

I seem to recall that there were a lot of F-16 parts used in the F-117. Is that true?

Lots of “off the shelf” stuff from other aircraft were used to get the F117 flying, not just F16. Later upgrades to keep it compatible with upgrades to other platforms in terms of C3I and LINK systems.

The F117 was in “mod” until it was deactivated, as is the case with just about any aircraft in service.
