The F-117A is the first operational fighter designed to exploit low observational stealth technology. Pilots of the single-seat, ground-attack fighter are tasked to execute precision attacks against high-value targets in the densest threat environment. From 1981 to 1988, the fighters were operated under a cloak of secrecy at the Tonopah, Nevada test range. In Nov. of 1988, the existence of 56 operational stealth fighters was announced to the public, followed by a debut of two aircraft at Nellis AFB on April 21, 1990. The original stealth fighter unit, the 4450th Tactical Group, was deactivated and reactivated as the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing on Oct. 5, 1989. During Operation Desert Storm, 42 of the aircraft flew 1,271 combat missions delivering 2,083 laser-guided bombs without receiving a single scratch from enemy fire. The 37th Fighter Wing was deactivated in 1992 when assets were transferred to the 49th Fighter Wing at Holloman AFB, New Mexico. Nellis AFB is known as the “Home of the Warfighter … Fly, Fight, Win.” A member of the U.S. Air Combat Command, fighter aircraft of all types can be found there. Air Force training is conducted in conjunction with air and ground units of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and air forces from allied nations.
