Silhouetted against the Las Vegas skyline in a surreal irony of events, the normally invisible black F-117A Nighthawk can be seen resting atop it's very own heat plume just beneath the Rio Hotel in the background. Able to carry two 2000-pound bombs in an enclosed bay, the F-117 is able to remain undetected for almost the entire duration of the mission. Currently there are 54 F-117's in service stationed at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.
