        The F-22 is better all around. More payload, faster, better stealth...

        No sense in keeping the F-117a around. B-52 still doesn't have a comparable replacement...

                  Well, if they're retiring the F-117 that means the nextgen they've been working on is almost ready. Coolness.

                      I can see why some would say it's ugly, because the straight lines and sharp creases run counter to our intuitive sense of aerodynamics and grace.

                      OTOH, I see how some might find it attractive because it looks so different, modern, and even alien.

                        Not really what I meant as I thought those were already in production and in service. I'm thinking more along the lines of the Aurora. Probably still a few more years out, but older planes, the F-22, and missiles can fill the operational void left by the F-117's departure.

                            Next one in line is the JSF (F-35), but it's actually a pared-down version of the F-22.

                                It may be cool, but IMO it is certainly not beautiful. Rather, it is functional.
