    AF is giving away F-117 Nighthawks

    A dozen to museums.

    The Reagan library is getting one.

    This link has a short video of Skunk Works preparing the Reagan Library display. During its service life, Unexpected Guest was the most active of the F-117s, flying a total of 78 combat missions, more than all other Nighthawks.

    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    Let's use the First Amendment to protect the Second so we can avoid using the Second to protect the First.

    Wonder if that’s why they have been spotted flying around lately. AF moving them to be decommissioned and stripped of classified stuff for museums

    They're old enough that I'd be shocked if they didn't. They were retired over a decade ago after 25 years in service, so it's not like they're cutting edge anymore.
    It's f*****g great, putting holes in people, all the time, and it just puts 'em down mate, they drop like sacks of s**t when they go down with this.
