The F-117 Stealth Fighter, also known as the "Nighthawk," is being retired by the U.S. Air Force after 27 years. The last active jet flew from Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico on April 21, 2008 to Tonopah Test Range Airfield in Nevada, where the jet made its debut in 1981. The F-117s will be replaced by F-22 Raptors, which also employ stealth technology.Air Force Technology: F-117A Nighthawk - Stealth Fighter Attack Aircraft
