Shhhh! The stealth fighters are gone

The first stealth fighters, the F-117A Night Hawks, were just retired. Bet you didn't know that, did you? No, you probably didn't. And you know what? That's just the way they want it. Too bad for THEM the LA Times was on the case.

Whenever I think of stealth aircraft, I always remember someone's comment: on a radar, these planes show as the size of a bird. Of course, that's a bird flying at Mach 1.

Then again, I never saw one on a radar screen, so I don't really know if it was the size of a bird. And now we'll never know.
