“Can an F-22 shoot down a stealth aircraft? Certainly would be nice to know. “
I’m sure a few short bursts from the 20mm cannon would do the trick.

NASA flies a lot of ex-military airplanes that have been re-assigned to them for research purposes. If I had to guess they’ve got a few F-117’s they use for tests.

I hope Israeli pilots are training in them and the Pres gifted them to Bibi.

Maybe none of us have a need to know, nor talk about it. Something may be afoot.

I think it has something to do with a planned “storming” of Area 51 by 400,000 ufologists and the subsequent warning from the Air Force that it’s not a good idea to try it.

Dos Gringos in their song, “Jeremiah Weed” calls them Stink Bugs and Strike Eagles they call Mud Hens. Cute. Caution do not, repeat do not listen to the song in mixed company or around children. Seriously.

“Seems I heard that before about the Mig-15, Mig-21 and SA2. My father heard that about the Zero in WWII.”
We were sweating pretty hard the first time we got a look at the IS series of tanks too. It does not pay to be arrogant about ones own military technology.
