Sputnik: Videos: Two Retired US Air Force Stealth Aircraft Spotted Flying Over Nevada
Even though the US Air Force’s F-117 Nighthawk stealth aircraft was retired from active service in April 2008, it’s still being spotted in action. Most recently, two of the stealth aircraft were captured on camera flying at the Tonopah Test Range military installation in Nevada last month.
