I always wondered what the AF was thinking when they came up with
the F-117 designation.


"Misdirection" is the best explanation I've heard from back in its "black"
days.


They wanted **** hot fighter pilots to fly it, and the powers that be
felt that no self respecting ****-hot fighter jockey would want to fly a
bomber.

At least thats the allegation I heard on the internet.. so it MUST be true..
