  • A rear view of an F-117A Nighthawk shortly after take off shows the heat dispersing exhaust designed to reduce the heat signature sought out by heat-seeking missiles and infrared vision scopes. One of the military's best-kept secrets, the F-117A Nighthawk has seen action all over the world and many speculate it will soon be put to rest. According to proposed defense budgets, the F-117 is scheduled to be retired by the end of 2007 in favor of the F-22 Raptor.

  • Kicking off one of the many intense nighttime missions, an RC-135 V/W 'Rivet Joint' electronic surveillance aircraft takes to the skies. Typically, the larger aircraft such as the refuelers, electronic reconnaissance and bombers head to the Nellis Range Complex prior to the fighters due to increased loiter times. The RC-135 specializes in the gathering of enemy information and relates that knowledge to friendly forces.
