It's like we got all the creative engineers and everyone else is just jealous.

I think the F-117's record is even more impressive considering that it was designed before I was born.

And that's putting it mildly. I've been in a discussion with both Serbs and Kosovon/Albanian fighters who were there. Every Serb blames the US Airforce (or the Kosovon Airforce as they refer to it) as the only factor for pulling back to pre-war borders. The only reason the Kosovons weren't massacred is because of the US Airforce...their words.
