Due to the F-117s canopy design, the pilot is unable to see the boom during [[Howto: Air-Air Refueling|in-air refuel]].

* Touchdown at 150-160 kts. | ===Bombing=== | ||
The F-117 can carry up to two bombs at a time. At the moment only the MK-84 is modeled. At startup the plane carries two MK-84s in it's bombbay. To release the bombs, use the following procedure: | |||
# Open the bomb bay doors (Ctrl-d) and let the bombs come out. | |||
# Release the bombs (J). | |||
===Landing=== | |||
Because the F-117 does not have flaps to slow it down, the landing speed is quite high. Therefore it uses a braking chute. To slow the plane down you decrease throttle and pitch up. | |||
* Touchdown at 150-160 kts with [[Angle of attack|AOA]] 9 degrees. | |||
