With factual errors like this:

"Ask the pilots of the two 'stealthy' F-117s that the Serbs successfully attacked with radar missiles in the 1999 Kosovo air war."

It calls into question the whole article.

The USAF only lost one F-117 -- not two.

The reason for loss ranged from flight paths/times being given to the Serbs by a French officer assigned to NATO to aircraft malfunction.

The USAF pilot managed to eject safely and was rescued by helicopter. Surely, the rescue helo was less stealthy and more exposed than the F-117 to Serb 'radar missiles'. Why wasn't it also 'shot down'?

You omitted the two largest factors: air force arrogance and incompetence.

They didn't say we lost another F-117, only that it was "successfully attacked".

"Some American sources acknowledge that a second F-117A was also damaged during a raid in the same campaign, and although it made it back to its base, it supposedly never flew again." - Wikipedia

I've seen Winslow Wheeler a number of times on C-SPAN and he appears to be very well informed.
