Why waste the money to do that unless there are F-117’s still out there in service..................
....I thought at first this was some sort of article from the past, but no.....this bird was retired some 16 or so years ago and now there are plans to certify what remaining A/C for KC-46 refueling...? waste of money IMHO ...
