Its insane that this thing was built before i was born in 1980. Here it is... decades later, STILL classified. Still bad ass.
For those of us who had been on the program for a while, it comes as no suprise to see them still flying . I spent 15 years of my Air Force career as a Crew Chief on F-117A's before transitioning to the F-22 Raptor. It was a pleasure to maintain to be honest. Although if you weren't that great of a troubleshooter with decent system knowledge and the ability to read schematics easily it could be a bit irritating. Best part is, one of my assigned aircraft is still out there flying, makes me wonder how many more flight hours have been added to her since her "last" flight into retirement in 2008.
