OMG!!!
You betcha thanks to Clintoon! I will bet this is the reason Gore went to China and got money for the pitiful DNC and added to Billory's swiss bank account; in exchange for the final disks for Red China's new stealth that combined with their technology will make ours look like relics.
Dumb ole Gore probably got his very own swiss bank account- for this mission in exchange for his silence and to NOT run for Prez.

I seem to recall there was the rumor floating around that the reason we bombed the Chinese embassy a few years ago was that they had the wrekcage from the downed stealth fighter stored there.
I have no idea if this is true or not.
Regardless, the F-117 is twenty year old technology that had its orgins in a thirty year old Russian technical paper. China would have figured out their own model sooner or later anyway.

Thank you Mr. Clinton.It's still been left to Dubya to export to them the manufacturing technology to actually build a stealth fighter. But that's near the top of the list of Robert Zoellick's priorities.

I was just going to say that ... but if it's less sophisticated than ours, maybe x42 gave them the OLD plans and not the new stuff. Do we have to be grateful for small favors.

Figured it out? Clinton sold it to them. I would bet the embassy oooops was to throw everyone off and make our military look bad- as the press reported old intel/ old blueprints- even if this is accurate again thanks to Clinton!

United Airlines had a near collision with one of ours in 2000.

Maybe not too scary
Beachcraft make a commercial bird that is more stealthy than the 117 - maybe you have seen it? The Starship.
Or the Vari Viggen (C Bede) they were using those to suggle dope into the US...
Or not.
Hoo-ah

Looks like they are finally catching up to the F15-16 level of fighters.

How about expanding on this....

It doesn't look very stealty to me. What they'll do is come up with the classic UFO disc; that way, even though people can see it and it shows up on radar, nobody official will dare admit it's there.
