I thought this was a Stealth Bomber?



Or are they both? I thought that the plane in the show was the Stealth Fighter. I'm not sure though.

That's a B-2.......that's a BIG bomber.

The F-117a is a smaller bomber about the size of a fighter and was designated an "F", fighter plane, during the R&D phase.

I'll get ya the reasoning behind it's "F" and not "B" designation tomorrow, I'm going to bed.

The 117 is known as the stealth bomber because it was never manueverable enough to be a fighter. The B2 is also known as a stealth bomber.
