The F-117A Nighthawk is one of the most unique aircraft ever to take to the skies, and perhaps the most recognizable. On Monday it will retire to the history books and museums after a farewell ceremony at Holloman Air Force Base. The Air Force Times has an excellent article up on the development and history of the F-117A. It's a great read if you're interested in military technology, or if (like me) you read books about the F-117A while growing up and thought it was just too cool to be real. (Hat tip: Danger Room)
