Greatest Fighters

Cant sleep, so its time for the military channel's lists of greatest wepons. They are talking about the greatest fighters.
Can someone tell me why the F-117 is still considered a fighter plane? Its really just a neat-o plane. Its more of a marvel of technology then anything else. It has no gun, cannot go supersonic, no air to air abilities, and carries two bombs? If anything, its like a concept car. Debuts cool technology that will hopefully be used in future models. Its stealth technologies are obsolete now with aircraft using smoother surfaces and not jagged sharp lines to deflect radar.

Before I was a car nut, I was a plane nut. What is your favorite fighter plane?

Outside of the F22, the F/A-18 Superhornets are hawt!!
I also like the clean and sleek lines of the F-86 Saber. Id love to have one if I was a multi billionare.
