After the F-117 was retired, what happened to them and why were they not
sold to other countries?
The F-117 stealth jet was retired in 2008 they said. Right. Story over.
I still have quite some way yet to go.
Quite a few people thought they ended up in a scrap pile. I don't know
that they were carefully but they were stored. Ready to be flown if
needed. Some never did.
Yeah, those f— weird looking jets are still flying. Secret missions.
Training exercises. Thinking enemy stealth planes. Or maybe it’s also
testing new tech. Deadly if so but quiet.
If these women are illegal why don’t we sell them to other countries?
Simple. It’s still a big secret. But even old tech the U.S. doesn’t want China or Russia looking over our shoulder.

And no, the F-117 didn’t disappear so the debate rages on. It was just
dark. Switched roles. He was a war hero turned silent shadow. That was
still out there and still doing the job.

An example is the aged U2 spy plane. Certainly no longer in active use
by the CIA/military. It’s in use still today for NASA and other agencies.

I had one for a while, but got tired of it and sold it to a high school
kid who needed one to get to work.
