Although you can’t buy one, the F-117A Night Hawk stealth fighter is perhaps one of the coolest gadgets to be produced in the last few decades. The entire fleet of 52 planes was informally retired on Tuesday in order to free up money for F-22 Raptors and F-35 Lightning IIs. They’re not going to be sold off to museums or scrapped or anything like that; they’ve proven their combat effectiveness and will be held in reserve in case they’re needed again at some point in the future, which is the same thing that happened to the battleship Missouri. Anyway, after the jump, I just thought I’d post some pics of this excitingly chunky, totally badass airplane.
If you have any cool pics of the F-117A, link to them in the comments, and I’ll add them.
F-117A on Wikipedia (the Air Force official fact sheet appears to be full of errors, including the title. Go figure.)

别了， F-117A！我们会想念你！

虽然你没钱把它买下来，但F-117A夜鹰隐形战斗机很可能是近几十年来最酷的玩意之一。为了给F-22猛禽战斗机和F-35闪电II战斗机调集资金，（F-117A）整个机群52架飞机于周二低调退休。他们不会被卖到博物馆，也不会被拆卸或者其他。F-117A高效的作战能力已得到举世公认，因此空军决定将他们存储起来，以备将来之需，如同密苏里战舰一样。无论如何，我只想在他们退居二线后贴一些照片纪念一下这款又矮又胖又暴敛的飞机。
如果你有F-117A的靓照，请链接在评论上，我会贴到文章里。
