[sci.military] F-117 Stealth Tidbit in Desert Storm

_Business Week_ recently had an article on stealth technology and of course,
mentioned the F-117's performance in DS.  Apparently, in one of the raids,
the on-board radar of an Iraqi Mig did not detect a F-117 nearby and ended
up directly below (i.e., in the bomb path) of the F-117.  It veered just in
time to avoid being hit by the bomb.

	[Did _Business Week_ provide references, or is this just what
	 they think someone told them happened?  Authoritative references
	 one way or the other would be welcome. --CDR ]
