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?

We're close to being there. Boeing and others are working on combat
UAVs, but the technology is still very much in the R&D phase.
Meanwhile, the -117 is beng replaced by the F-22 Raptor which by all
the accounts I've read, is quite a bit more capable than the -117.

Are the missions of the F-117 and F-22 all that similar?
