Dva detalja za koje se ne secam da su pomenuti.

4 pito cevi koje se vide napred su grejane da se nebi formirao led na njima. 4 cevi za 4 kompjutera, ako se jedan pokvari ostala 3 ce ga nadglasati i nastaviti ali dati upozorenje da jedan ne radi. Nikada se nije desilo da se pokvare dva.

Usisnicu su imali brisac za uklanjanje leda sa resetki uz dodatak antifriza. Pre toga bi presao na 100 % kiseonik jer bi se odma osetio u kokpitu.

Iz knjige Dejvida Arčibalda - drugi pogođeni F117 je sletio u bazu, ali otpisan.

Deo flote ce leteti do 2034.

Citat:In response to queries from The War Zone, Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek has confirmed that the service is currently planning on operating at least some number of F-117A Nighthawk stealth combat jets through 2034. She further confirmed that, "on occasion, we fly certain [F-117A] aircraft to support limited research and training activities" and that there is currently no requirement to preserve any of these aircraft in any state for potential combat use.

In her statement, Stefanek also said the Air Force expects to eventually get rid of the entire F-117A fleet one way or another, but that she did not have exact details on a specific timeline for those divestments.

"We have approximately 45 F-117s currently. As we demilitarize the aircraft, they will be made available to museums, if requested, or be disposed of (scrapped)," she said. "Over 10 have already been approved for transfer to museums."
