}last night i was watching a show on PBS called "Disguises of War", i
}believe.  At any rate it was a particularly well done british show
}about stealth technology, camouflage, sonar masking, etc.

I agree, it was an excellent show. 


}during the course of this show they discussed stealth technology with the
}usual photos of the B-2 bomber.  then they really got my attention with
}film sequences of the stealth fighter.  i've never even seen stills
}of this bird in this country but the brits can get action sequences!


Well, I guess you haven't been watching the press to closely. The 
Air Force released stills of the F-117A prior to the plane being 
used for daylight flights (previously it had only been flown at night).

These stills were published in major newspapers and magazines, including,
of course, Av Leak and Flight Intl. Since the start of daylight flying,
Av Leak has published several articles with other photos of the plane.
The articles include some speculation about the specs of the plane
(size, weight, etc). Go to your nearest library and check them out.


}anybody know of any other shows with sequences of the stealth fighter in it?

I haven't seen any video of the plane, however.
