Following Peter’s news on the F-22 Raptor taking over the F-117 stealth fighter (See Here) The brilliant F-117 stealth fighter will make one final trip on April 21st because these fighters are no more, the F-22 Raptor will take its place.

The final trip will salute true American heroes as it makes it way into the annals of military history, it will fly for the last time from Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico to Tonopah Test Range Airfield in Nevada which was the home of the first test flight.
