F-117 to be retired this year
I wonder if the thought is the F117's mission can be done with
pilotless drones now? Why risk a pilot if he or she can be replaced with GPS and an IC chip? I'm ignorant of such things, maybe someone with more information can tell us what 117 mission could not have been accomplished by a remotely controlled stealthy drone.
