The real Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is a single-seat, twin-engine stealth
ground-attack aircraft formerly operated by the United States Air Force.
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'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.
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.
