The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is a stealth ground attack aircraft formerly operated by the United States Air Force. The F-117A's first flight was in 1981, and it achieved Initial Operational Capability status in October 1983. The F-117A was "acknowledged" and revealed to the world in November 1988.
As a product of the Skunk Works and a development of the Have Blue prototype, it became the first operational aircraft initially designed around stealth technology. The F-117A was widely publicized during the Gulf War.
The Air Force retired the F-117 on 22 April 2008, primarily due to the purchasing and eventual deployment of the more effective F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II.

Takeoff
- Full thrust.
- Rotate at 160 kts.
- Gear up when positive climb and 100+ ft.
Air-air fefueling
At the moment air-air refueling is not implented!
Due to the F-117s canopy design, the pilot is unable to see the boom during in-air refuel. Air-air refueling is the hardest thing you can do with a F-117.
Landing
- Touchdown at 150-160 kts.
Braking chute
The braking chute will be automaticly deployed, when the following conditions are all true:
- Brake chute doors are openeded (Ctrl-b)
- Nosewheel on runway
- Throttle position less than 0.2
The braking chute will be untied when one of the following conditions is true:
- Airspeed less than 30 kts
- Throttle position greater than 0.2
REMEMBER: the chute can be used only once. If you want it again you must reload it(j).
