US To Retire F-117 After 27 Years of Service
The Nighthawk has been in service for 27 years, and seen combat in the skies over Panama, Serbia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. It was the first purpose built stealth aircraft designed to overcome radar by deflecting it away with its faceted appearance. For more on this remarkable aircraft, see here.
The plane is being retired to pave the way for the F-22 Raptor.
