F-117 Nighthawks is not part of a government recycling program
You can be sure scrapping the retired fleet of F-117 Nighthawks is not part of a government recycling program. Developed after experience with the increased sophistication of Soviet surface-to-air missiles in Vietnam, the F-117's first flight was in 1981 but it wasn't publicly acknowledged by the US Air Force until 1988.
The last plane to fly was on August 11, 2008 to the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada where a special retirement village houses the remaining stealth fighters while they await their fate with a monster Caterpillar out back.
