There are basically 3 different eras of the F-117.
First, during the Cold War... the F-117 was one of America's silver bullets. Don't wanna risk anything getting leaked out.
In the 90s to early 2000's... who on earth would buy an F-117? Especially amongst nations friendly to the USA. With the exception of maybe Israel, no US aligned nation had a reason to have a low observable strike aircraft.
In the twilight of its career - well the JSF/F-35 existed. Why buy the old, single purpose, first generation stealth aircraft when F-35s should be just around the corner...
