The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk was a single-seat, twin-engine stealth ground-attack aircraft operated by the United States Air Force (USAF).
The F-117A made its first flight in 1981, and it achieved initial operational capability in October 1983.
The F-117A was unveiled in November 1988.
A product of Lockheed Skunk Works and a development of the Have Blue technology demonstrator, it became the first operational aircraft originally designed with stealth technology in mind.
The F-117A saw service during the 1991 Gulf War.
It was commonly referred to as a "stealth fighter," even though it was a ground-attack aircraft, making its F designation misleading.
The Air Force retired the F-117 on April 22, 2008, primarily due to the deployment of the F-22 Raptor and the impending introduction of the F-35 Lightning II.
64 F-117s were built, including 59 production versions and five demonstrator/prototypes.
