During the 1999 yugoslavia bombings, after the first one was shot down, there was a joking apology on the TV, something along the lines of "Sorry, we didn't see it" :)
- dragonwriter 5y ago> During the 1999 yugoslavia bombings, after the first one was shot down That was a F-117 Night Hawk “Stealth Fighter” (a type which is now retired), not a B-2 Spirit “Stealth Bomber”.
- BrazzVuvuzela 5y agoIncidentally, the F-117's fighter designation was a misnomer; they were only armed with bombs.
- dragonwriter 5y agoNot just the “F” (“A” would be expected from role), also the “117” was anomalous (under the standard numbering convention, it should have been something like the 19 if it was in the F series, which is the designation that speculation about it was typically associated with before it was officially announced.)
- kens 5y agoThe Serbians made a poster saying "Sorry, we didn't know it was invisible" after they shot down a stealth F-117.
