Note that they're going into storage. The air force, really, really wants the F-22 which is a generation leap.

I know, but I'll still miss them. :D They weren't the F-19 I built model kits of as a kid, but when the F-117 was unveiled for the first time, I fell in love anyhow.

That's how I felt about the SR-71, which too me defined airborne cool.

Okay, I have thing for P-47 Thunderbolts too.

*nods* The Jugs are neat, but my favorite WWII planes are the P-38 and the F-4U, no question.

I've got a deep love of the A-10, as well, which should surprise no-one. :D

They were one of a kind, weren't they?

*pulls out old wargame, proceeds to bomb the snot out of the Soviet Union with F-117s*

Yep, and we probably won't see anything quite like it again. :D Of course, I know that on the technical terms that's not a bad thing, but... :D
