After the development of the F-35, the idea that the US government could fund and develop a new fighter without the public knowing is somehow heartwarming!

- hef19898 3y agoWell, the F-117 was developed in complete secrecy. And, I'd like to add, in busget and on time. All that using a bunch of stuff coming from the F-15 and F-16 programs. My pet theory is, that those twonhad a ton of cost overruns regarding spares and such because avionics and engines for the F-117 had to be sourced somehow.
- turnsout 3y agoYeah… that was the 70s though.
