I had always thought that these two stealth aircraft were separate projects.
First because the F-117A is publicly known to be in service and it exhibits
primarily the US's first attempt at a stealth attack aircraft.  (I wouldn't
want to be caught in it as fighter)  The F-19 I supposed was or is the true
steath fighter, with a bit higher speed and maneuverability.  

It was suggested to me that the F-19 was a ruse just to mask the stats of the
F-117A and that it absolutely has no factual basis.

Lets see what info is available on the existence of this second stealth
aircraft.
