If I recall correctly, it can carry AIM-9 sidewinders.Rabs said:This has always bothered me, As far as i know the F-117 has no air to air capabilities so why does it carry the Fighter designation instead of the bomber or B-117.
Let's narrow that down a bit. Which one of the following did you mean?MilidarUSMC said:there is only a few that i like

Great one. Surely invincible. Terrify the enemy by having no obvious sign of weapons ... and heck, no weapons period. Talk about indimidation!! (Am I referencing the right Lear Jet BTW??)2)Lear Jet
Go after that F-18E with a prop biplane fighter. It's the last thing they'll expect and you will surely destroy them!3)Sopwith Camel
Obviously.4)...am i on the right forum
A friend of mine stationed at Tinker AFB told me of one of the funniest things he'd ever seen. After a combination of stupid mistakes in piloting and pure dumb luck, an A-10 scored a kill on an F15E in a training. The computer determined that the A-10's main gun would have sawed the F15E in half. This was about as unlikely of an occurrance as the Loch Ness Monster, Santa Claus and Elvis combining for a world tour next week and I am told they have a great laught at the whole thing. The F15E pilot was quite embarrassed. Perhaps that adds some perspective to why the A-10 really doesn't merit consideration as a "fighter."PershingOfLSU said:The A-10 is not a fighter. As evidenced by the Attack designation. The A-10 is a very capable ground attack platform. However against a modern fighter, it's far too slow to really stand a chance.
