Historical Information

The Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk is the world's first production aircraft with stealth capabilities, entering service in the United States Air Force. Designed under the top secret Have Blue project in the late 1970s and early 1980s, it officially debuted in active duty in 1983. The aircraft participated in many combat operations, including Desert Storm in 1991 and Allied Force over Yugoslavia in 1999. The F-117A was used for precision strikes on heavily defended targets in challenging anti-access environments. It was retired from service in 2008 and earned status as an icon of the Cold War era and the late 20th-century armed conflicts.
