Although retired in 2007, the U.S. Air Force has maintained the F-117 fleet in a condition that allowed the fleet to be reactivated one day if needed. Now the U.S. Congress is ready send those mothballed aircraft from their climate-controlled hangars at Tonopah Test Range to the Davis–Monthan Air Force Base for scrapping.

The House Armed Services Committee (HASC) chairman, Rep. Mac Thornberry, has proposed that the law be amended to remove the requirement. The committee will soon vote on the issue.

I worked on the F117 for many years...you either loved it or hated it.  My avatar might give you a clue as to how I feel about this...
Throwing our allegiances to political parties in the long run gave away our liberty.
