F-117 to be retired this year

... http://www.afmc.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123088771 Doesn't seem like they have been around long enough to retire them. 20+ years of service for the first iteration of such a breakthrough technology is a pretty good run IMO. Make no mistake--the F-117 is a success story given the amount of untold $trillions spent on technologies that never made it to a deployable stage. I think we'll see even shorter lifespans for some of our newer weapons systems as advancements in research gets steeper and steeper. Marco
