去年,美国国防部正式宣布F-117“夜鹰”隐身战斗机退役,这就意味着这一改变世界战斗机发展方向的传奇飞机成为历史。但是,即使是濒临退役,在“夜鹰”身上仍然有很多让人摸不着头脑的东西,成为众多“夜鹰”狂热者茶余饭后的谈资。其中,它的编号就像它的外形一样,在美军众多作战飞机中显得异常的怪异。至今,美国军方也没有给出明确的说明,以解释F-117这一看似不伦不类的编号。 Last year, the U.S. Department of Defense formally announced the retirement of the F-117 “Nighthawk” stealth fighter. This means that this legendary aircraft that changed the direction of world fighter jets became history. However, even on the verge of retirement, there are still a lot of people who can not understand what is going on in the Nighthawk, becoming a talk of many Nighthawk fanatics. Among them, its number just like its appearance, many unusual in the U.S. military combat aircraft weird. So far, the U.S. military has given no clear explanation to explain the seemingly non-existent number F-117.
