- Wikipedia, 23 Nov. 2009:F-117 Nighthawk (The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is a stealth ground attack aircraft formerly operated by the United States Air Force; the F-117A's first flight was in 1981; it became the first operational aircraft initially designed around stealth technology; the F-117A was "acknowledged" and revealed to the world in November 1988; the operational aircraft had the official designation of "F-117A"; most modern U.S. military aircraft use post-1962 designations in which the designation "F" is usually an air-to-air fighter, "B" is usually a bomber, "A" is usually a ground-attack aircraft; the Stealth Fighter is primarily a ground-attack aircraft so its "F" designation is inaccurate; the Air Force retired the F-117 on 22 April 2008, primarily due to the fielding of the more effective F-22 Raptor and the upcoming F-35 Lightning II)
