The 410th Flight Test Squadron, part of the 412th Test Wing and Air Force Flight Test Center, provides operational F-117A support by conducting all developmental test and evaluation and depot maintenance acceptance flights prior to return to operational units. 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 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
