re: #356 Gus 802

Maybe that’s why the military considers them low-observable aircraft, but the stealth moniker was attached to them by media types and politicians.

Under the right conditions, you can still see stealth aircraft - like in daylight. They’re still difficult to hit using IR and radar guidance, but because you can still see them in the visible range, they have to be used at night. Later, during the Serbian conflict, one was indeed shot down as the gunners figured out a way to track the F-117, which has since been retired in favor of the new F-22 and F35 fighters, that have more agility and can not only engage in bombing missions only, but are more agile and can dogfight as well as attack ground targets.
