Reply to There has only ever been one successful shoot-down of a F-117A stealth plane, in 1999 during the NATO bombing of former Yugoslavia, the pilot ejected safely. Since then the US pilot and Serb that shot him down have become good friends. Here's a Serbian kid standing on its wing by bulletproofxx
There was a fair amount of luck in that shooting if I recall correctly

Reply to comment by TampaSaint in My Dad, somewhere on an aircraft carrier in World War II; he was a fighter pilot in the navy during WWII.

That’s a dash 5 alright. The most successful carrier fighter of wwII. Most likely a training aircraft given the large white number
