	F-117A Nighthawk - Military Aircraft
		The stealth fighter emerged from the classified world while stationed at Tonapah Airfield with an announcement by the Pentagon in November 1988 and was first shown publicly at Nellis in April 1990.
		Although only 36 stealth fighters were deployed in Desert Storm and accounted for 2.5 percent of the total force of 1,900 fighters and bombers, they flew more than a third of the bombing runs on the first day of the war.
		The stealth fighter, which is coated with a secret, radar-absorbent material, operated over Iraq and Kuwait with impunity, and was unscathed by enemy guns.

	F-22 Stealth
		Stealth makes an object become very difficult to detect by sensors such as radar, heat seekers (infrared), sound detectors and even the human eye.
		At the same time, the counter stealth faction is developing an increasing understanding of its requirements, forcing the stealth community into another round of improvements.
		The Lockheed F 117A and the Northrop B 2 both use a similar approach of masking to prevent any hot parts being visible in the lower hemisphere.

		F - 117A Stealth Fighter, "Night Hawk" (USAF).
		The Lockheed F-117A "Nighthawk" fighter was developed in response to an Air Force request for an aircraft capable of attacking high value targets without being detected by hostile radar systems.
		By the 1970's, special materials and techniques had become available to aircraft designers that would allow them to design an aircraft with radar-evading or "stealth" qualities.

	frontline: the gulf war: weapons: f-117a stealth
		The F-117A Stealth fighter was in service for six years before the Air Force admitted its existence.
		Although the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing Provisional and its 42 stealth fighters represented just 2 1/2 percent of all allied fighter and attack aircraft in the Gulf, the F-117As were assigned against more than 31 percent of the strategic Iraqi military targets attacked during the first 24 hours of the air campaign.
		With the combination of stealth and accuracy possessed by the F-117 and cruise missiles, these two platforms carried out all attacks against downtown Baghdad; the F-117 operated at night and the TLAMs during the day.

	F117A Stealth Fighter Art Prints
		The extraordinary Lockheed F.117A Stealth fighter proved an awesome sight when at last it was revealed to the world in 1990, and it was soon to distinguish itself in combat in the deserts of the Middle East during the Iraqi campaign of 1991.
		This superb print, the seventh edition in the Gulf War series, is countersigned by more than 20 operational F-117A pilots from the 49th Fighter Wing, Holloman AFB, serving in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, symbolising a remarkable breakthrough in access to the once super secret Black Jet and its aircrews.
		Designed and built in the early 1980's at the Lockheed 'Skunk Works' under conditions of intense secrecy, the F117A Stealth fighter was not revealed to the public until 1990, after it had been in service for over 7 years.

		The prototype flew the same year, but was lost when the pilot had to eject at 10,000 feet over the Nevada desert.
		The F-117A Nighthawk "stealth" fighter is a unique aircraft, with its surfaces and edge profiles optimized to reflect enemy radar away from the radar detectors.

	Popular Mechanics - F-117A Stealth Fighter
		The wraps are slowly coming off one of the best kept military secrets of all time--the Air Force's Stealth Fighter.
		The Stealth Strike-Fighter's most likely primary targets are high-value types which would therefore be well-protected: subterranean command posts, surface-to-air missile sites, hardened aircraft shelters and so on.
		In fact, it's just possible that the much-vaunted Stealth Fighter, the mystery plane of the 20th century, may soon become a museum piece.
