F-117s are all retired.

F-117

While searching around for articles on the small number of F-117s that are still operating, I found this blog that has some high-fidelity pics of an F-117 taken at distance.

Granted that angles, sun and shadows could make the aircraft in question a -117. But it still looks to me like it has the cranked-kite wing planform of the X-47B. Doesn't mean that it IS an X-47, of course: Northrop Grumman's proposed Next Generation Bomber uses it as well.
