传奇的F-117夜鹰匿踪战机 将会“部分回役”
https://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20230103005335-260417?chdtv
但是最近的一项招标案显示，第1代匿踪战机F-117“夜鹰”(Night Hawk)可能部分回复现
役。
然而最近两三年，在内华达州有愈来愈多的F-117的目击记录，显然夜鹰仍被用来训练美
国飞行员，学习对抗敌方匿踪飞机和低识别的巡弋飞弹。
美国空军一直没有证实此事，不过在去年的一项征求案，则透露了F-117的“回役”细节
，至少在 2034 年之前，保持部分F-117夜鹰战斗机的飞行能力。承包商将要负责3项工作
：第1， F-117的普通维护工作；第2，具备细部结构的检查的能力，比如雷达式诊断扫描
仪，并且有能力找到细微的缺陷。第3保持 F-117 的隐身性，也就是能够制作F-117匿踪
涂料的能力。

15 years after 'officially' retiring its first stealth jet, the US Air Force
is looking for help to keep the F-117 flying for another decade
The US Air Force is now making plans to keep some of its Nighthawks flying
until at least 2034. A US Air Force Request for Information published this
past fall sought companies interested in a potential 10-year contract to
provide maintenance for the F-117, beginning in 2024.
The Air Force currently has about 45 F-117s, more than 10 of which have been
approved for transfer to museums, Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek told
Insider.
It has occasionally been seen training with newer aircraft, including with
Marine Corps F-35Bs off the California coast in April and with fourth- and
fifth-generation jets over Georgia in May.
Even more intriguing are reports that the F-117 is being used to simulate
cruise missiles for missile-defense training.
老飞机 新功能
虽然近期有B-21匿踪轰炸机服役
但第一代匿踪战机F-117仍可转型成为训练机
似乎可作为搜索匿踪目标用的标靶
但怎么觉得会变成靶机?
