The Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk was the world’s first operational stealth aircraft, developed by Lockheed’s Skunk Works for precision attack against heavily defended targets. Although often called a “stealth fighter”, it was a single-seat attack aircraft built to avoid radar detection and deliver guided weapons from an internal weapons bay.

The first F-117A flew on Jun 18ᵗʰ, 1981, and the type achieved initial operational capability in October 1983 with the 4450th Tactical Group. It remained secret for years before being publicly revealed in 1988.

The Nighthawk first saw combat during Operation Just Cause in Panama on Dec 19ᵗʰ, 1989. It became famous during Desert Storm, flying 1,271 sorties without combat losses or battle damage. F-117s later served over the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq.

A total of 59 F-117As were built between 1981 and 1990. The aircraft officially retired from U.S. Air Force service on Apr 22ⁿᵈ, 2008, after 25 years of service.

Why are the stripes vertical?
Great question - and you're absolutely right that the U.S. flag is usually displayed with horizontal stripes. But in this design, we’ve reimagined the flag as an artistic tribute rather than a literal representation. We chose to depict the flag as if it were hanging vertically from above, similar to how it might appear draped at a hangar entrance or suspended during a ceremony.  This vertical orientation allows the iconic silhouette of the aircraft to really shine -with the red and white stripes running the length of the fuselage, it creates a bold, centred look while still honouring the flag’s spirit and symbolism.

Comfortable nice material
