Formerly known as the 4450th Tactical Squadron it was re-designated the 415th TFS on October 5, 1989 and equipped with the Lockheed F-114A. F-117A 81-10796 c/n A4021 "Fatal Attraction" was the 12th production aircraft and was accepted by the USAF August 4, 1983. In August 1990 "Fatal Attraction" was one of 22 F-117As sent to Saudi Arabia as part of Operation Desert Shield. As part of the 415th TFS/37th TFW(P) during Operation Desert Storm Captain Dan DeCamp flew 81-10796 on 29 missions. On January 25, 2008 "Fatal Attraction" was retired. Designed and developed by Lockheed, the F-117 was the first operational aircraft conceived with stealth technology. It first flew on June 18, 1981, but was not officially acknowledged until 1988, when the Pentagon released a grainy, unrevealing photograph to the media (the aircraft itself was not seen by the public until 1990). With no afterburners and a shape designed to deflect radar signals, the F-117 is subsonic but effective. It has an automated planning system, sophisticated navigation and infrared target acquisition. It has been used several times in combat, most notably during the Persian Gulf War. It was retired in 2008, replaced by the more formidable F-22. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
