They fired over 200 missles at F-117s in operation Allied Force. Plus countless AAA shells. It was pretty common to see SAMs screeching up around the F-117s on their bombing runs.

The F-117 targets were not a well kept NATO secret, and they had spotters off the end of the runway at Aviano air base. With the targets, and the takeoff time, they can roughly estimate the time over target.

F-117s are not stealthy when they have their bomb bays open.

Read a book called Stealth Fighter. It's interesting, he talks about flying F-117s and bombing Yugoslavia.

SR71

This may be the single greatest aviation story ever told, it’s about the iconic SR-71 Blackbird whose full operating specs are still classified to this day. The story, from the now out-of-print book Sled Driver by former SR-71 jockey Brian Shul (available used on Amazon for just $700). Here’s the ultimate aviation troll:

Screen Shot 2016-07-18 at 4.51.23 PM

There were a lot of things we couldn’t do in an SR-71, but we were the fastest guys on the block and loved reminding our fellow aviators of this fact. People often asked us if, because of this fact, it was fun to fly the jet. Fun would not be the first word I would use to describe flying this plane. Intense, maybe. Even cerebral. But there was one day in our Sled experience when we would have to say that it was pure fun to be the fastest guys out there, at least for a moment.

They lost alot of them due to no fault of the plane. But rather due to circumstances in the war.

When the Iraq war was a thing I remember my dad calling me outside one sunny afternoon in Bongland and pointing to a B2 that was flying over. I still remember the terrible joke he made.

"All that money on stealth technology and I can still see it."

"This work led to an interesting discovery. When an engine was optimized specifically for high speed, it burned perhaps twice as much fuel at that speed than when it was running at subsonic speeds. However, the aircraft would be flying as much as four times as fast. Thus its most economical cruise speed, in terms of fuel per mile, was its maximum speed. This was entirely unexpected and implied that there was no point in the dash concept; if the aircraft was able to reach Mach 3, it may as well fly its entire mission at that speed."

I haven't had time to see what documents are available to confirm the Wiki excerpt from above, but there ya go.

It's a basic specific range equation - pic related.

If you want, I can pull out some NASA reports about the XB-70. Unfortunately, it was pretty underwhelming. Even with all the military equipment and half the crew gone and the bomb bay filled with fuel, the XB-70 ended up falling well short of the design range. As cool as it was, it really was a failure.

>>33797674
Well, up until the Hellcat and Corsair were deployed in the Pacific the Zero was definitely the best fighter of the theater, but afterwards it became a flying coffin. American planes were faster, which meant they could engage and disengage at will. The Zero could not outrun a Hellcat and certainly not a Corsair. A competent pilot in a Zero was still a deadly opponent to newer American planes, but the odds were stacked against it.

He could only see it because it wanted to be seen. When it's in stealth mode, the B2 uses light detectors to change its altitude to just the right spot so that it blends in with the hue of the sky.

>Those huge external fuel tanks

Really makes you think about how poorly designed some jets are. They should carry all fuel internally.

>>33799159
yeah, it had such a hard time against hadjis with machine guns. a box kite with missiles and bombs could prove otself in afghanistan and iraq

>>33809389
You sacrifice performance if you carry it all internally. Same concept behind multi-stage rockets.

I think it's way underrated; at its introduction it was pretty revolutionary. I think the reason it goes so unnoticed (at least in my own speculation) is that it's one of those jets that became sort of iconic/ingrained in the mind as the jet that everyone imagines when you tell them to picture a fighter jet, so it becomes ubiquitous and ordinary. At least, that's how I thought of it growing up.
