Has anyone who has been glued to the tube (or perhaps the paper) more > than I heard anything? CNN did a 10 or so minute special report on the F-117. They talked with crew and showed flight preperation including shots of the cockpit and a takeoff. They also had video of a F-117 attack in Baghdad. It droped a 2000 pound bomb down the center of a building. In general, all of the reports of F-117 usage has been very positive. One pilot reported that he could get within 12 seconds of his target before being noticed. -john- -- =============================================================================== John A.
