The F-117A Nighthawk Stealth fighter from the 49th Fighter Wing, 9th
Fighter Squadron "Iorn Knights," from Holloman Air Force Base, N.M.
Flies a training mission over the New Mexico desert. The F117 is the
world's first operational aircraft designed to exploit low-observable
stealth technology. The unique design of the single-seat F-117A
provides exceptional combat capabilities. Air refuelable, it supports
worldwide commitments and adds to the deterrent strength of the U.S.
military forces. The F-117A can employ a variety of weapons and is
equipped with sophisticated navigation and attack systems integrated
into a state-of-the-art digital avionics suite that increases mission
effectiveness and reduces pilot workload. ( U.S. Air Force Photo
