Fightin' words! Whatever shortcomings the F117 may have in the frailty of its skin coating are more than offset by its ability to go after radar sites and down SAM corridors after highly defended targets. It sure beats the old days when you sent a couple of B52 "cells" (3 bombers) in after the same target and were't too surprised if you lost a couple of aircraft in the process. Now the B2, on the other hand - that may indeed be a bomber who's primary mission no longer justifies its cost. Better to do today's job with smaller, less expensive units. Jordan
