Kinda sad to think in 20 yrs this plane no longer has a need for what it costs. Didn't realize so much of it was taken from other aircraft as the article states.
You would have thought they would have had forsight to know that a one dementional plane wouldn't have a long shelf life but I guess not.
Well from what I heard the F-22 is more stealth than the F-117. The F-117 is outdated and ugly. The F-22 will be capible of carrying bombs correct? Even though the pure bomb version (FB-22) will probably never be built.
AMARC, or the Aerospace Maintenance And Regeneration Center is where they would/ could go. They have different states of being for the aircraft so if something would arise they could be airborne again from 45-180 days.

the F-117 is NOT ugly
I really wanna see one fly before their pulled outta service.
I would of never thought the F-117 to go already, and ive only seen one fly.
My thoughts exactly..... I never thought they were that old..... If they kept the F-117 under wraps for so long, imagine what those cats are building today, that we don't know about.....
something I was thinking about today, they still have armed guards protect these at airshows, yet in 2 yrs they are ready to parked them in a desert that gives tours.
Just seems like such a large waste of money in a short time.

Will these aircraft be stripped of all the secret stuff onboard these crafts ?
I still have never photographed one....well not since I was younger with a P&S film camera.....hopefully I get to see one at a show again before they get scrapped....

Too bad, have always been a fan of the Nighthawks, sad to see them go. Oh well, hope some of them will be sold to Pima Air&Space Museum in Tucson, would fit in right beside the SR-71.
Morning was a bad time to take this shot. I should have spent more time walking around Nellis Sunday at the airshow. They had already towed it away by the time I got down there.
We got to see 2 of them fly in from the range on Friday while we were walking around media day.
