A group of F-117 pilots returned to Las Vegas today.  In the local
newspaper one pilot reported that F-117s accounted for 2 1/2
percent of the combat aircraft in the gulf, but took out 47% of all
strategic targets.  He also stated that the 8 F-117s could handle
the bombing load of 72 conventional aircraft.  He felt with such a force
multiplying ratio, the costs of the F-117 were clearly justified.
