F-117 Nighthawk Retires

Present, Arms!

Washington, D.C. (AHN) - After decades of faithful service, the United States Air Force (USAF) says it will retire the world’s first stealth fighter jet, the F-117 “Nighthawk.” The twin-engine, single-seat fighter demonstrated the tremendous capabilities of stealth when it helped Coalition forces expel Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi military from Kuwait in the Persian Gulf War.

Order, Arms!
