The F-117 was the first true stealth aircraft released.
Although the F-117’s flew through some of the most heavily defended areas in Desert Storm, not one aircraft was shot down or damaged.
On their first trip, the F-117’s flew non-stop from Holloman AFB to Kuwait, taking around 18.5 hours — a record for single-seat fighters still standing today.
