The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk was a single-seat, twin-engine
stealth ground-attack aircraft formerly operated by the United States Air Force
(USAF). The F-117A's first flight was in 1981, and it achieved initial
operating capability status in October 1983.The F-117A was „acknowledged“
and revealed to the world in November 1988.
A product of Lockheed Skunk Works and a development of the Have Blue
technology demonstrator, it became the first operational aircraft initially
designed around stealth technology. The F-117A was widely publicized during the
Persian Gulf War of 1991. It was commonly called the „Stealth Fighter“
although it was a ground-attack aircraft, making its F-designation
misleading.
The Air Force retired the F-117 on 22 April 2008, primarily due to
the fielding of the F-22 Raptor and the impending introduction of the
F-35 Lightning II. Sixty-four F-117s were built, 59 of which were production
versions with five demonstrators/prototypes.
