As far as the F-117 goes, the F designation was mainly added to keep it's true role a bit more hidden. Your right it isnt much of a fighter, it would be more realistic if it was called the F/A or just A. They were first used in Grenada, but didnt go public until Desert storm. EIther way it dosent matter much anymore as most of them are retired and in moth balls. I think a couple are still flying doing R&D work.
The Raptor is nice and so is the SuperBug, but I am into warbirds. I love the P-40's specifically the early models.
