Here's a collection of some of my best moments from my time spotting on the Sidewinder Low Level. The F-117s are my favorite and I am very happy I was able to catch them out there. The F-117 video was taken on 4/21/2023, despite the F-117 being "retired" by the USAF.

AS an FYI, despite being retired from combat ops, a decent amount of the F-117 fleet is still being flown by the Air Force, and will be flown until at least 2034, maybe longer. They mostly fly them for research, testing, training, along with being used as red air aggressors and as a stand-in for stealth missiles during training ops.

Fwiw, bases that run F22s, like Langley in VA, run F22 training all day, every day over populated areas like Newport News, Hampton, and Virginia Beach. I've seen more F22s, often flying combat training in pairs against other jets, than almost any other military aircraft I've seen. They became so common, I tuned them out regularly, but if I was outside, I would always stop and watch them fly. But F117s? I had no idea they still even flew them.

Couldn't hear them until we saw their shadows. They were three to four jet lengths apart from each other, very close. Ace pilots no doubt. Sneaky and deadly.
