The April 9 issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology has a
head-on shot of an F-117A on the cover. Inside is an article
of about five pages with several excellent color shots of the
aircraft from various angles.
Truly, this is surely the ugliest aircraft to see production
in an awful long time. Spectacularly ugly! Seems to work,
though. *Really* ugly. I can hardly wait for a good
model to show up. :}
Lots of neat details in the text. For example, the windows are
specially coated to prohibit passing radar waves, since the
return from the pilot's helmet would be larger than the entire
rest of the aircraft combined.
