Ok...a bit of espionage (done on the cheap) and a bit of eagle-eyeness and a bit of pot luck shooting.
Though it does leave many questions. Where do the "small arms" come in? Also, I can understand if the plane flew out of Italy (probably Aviano) it could be spotted (just about...at night remember). But how is anyone over Yugoslavia supposed to spot it at 40,000 feet from the ground? Something nobody tells you....the F/A117 is ghostly quiet...I could barely hear it and that was flying over my head at a height of 200 feet. It's also virtually invisible at night, unless it has it's landing lights on.
