F-117 Stealth Fighter EPS RC Jet Special Edition Model

After years of service, some of it top secret, the United States Air Force is to retired the F-117 Nighthawk, the first so-called Stealth Fighter, in April 2008. The famous Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter was that rarest commodity in the American military arsenal -- a well-kept secret.

Lockheed began development of the Stealth Fighter at its secret Skunk Works facility in 1976, and by 1977 had subscale-technology demonstrators flying under the code name Have Blue at the famous Area 51 proving grounds at Groom Dry Lake, Nevada. In the 1980s, the United States obtained a combat asset with capabilities not matched by known weapons of any other country: the F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter, an aircraft that could perform precision strikes on heavily-protected targets with little chance of being detected. The faceted-plate construction of the F-117 Stealth Fighter, combined with the use of radar-absorbent materials and careful attention to the suppression of infrared signals, reduced the radar signature of the supersecret Stealth Fighter to the size of a marble. It was, quite literally, invisible to radar..

The term "stealth fighter" is really a misnomer, for the F-117 is purely an attack aircraft, and does not have the armament or the maneuverability to engage in dogfighting. The nature of the mission and the characteristics of the aircraft demanded extremely skilled, well-trained pilots, and competition for the chance to fly the Nighthawk was intense.

The aircraft was introduced into combat on December 19, 1989, in Operation Just Cause, the U.S. attack on Panama to capture President Manuel Noriega. When Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, the F-117's were called into action. Twenty-one Night­hawks flew from their Tonopah, Nevada, base to Langley Air Force Base, Virginia. From there, 18 of the aircraft made the 15-hour nonstop flight to King Khalid Air Base in Saudi Arabia.
