Members of the F-117 community, past and present, were on hand at Holloman AFB, New Mexico, on 29 October to pay homage to the first operational stealth fighter as the twenty-fifth anniversary of the US Air Force Nighthawk was recognized. The F-117 has played a vital role in the Air Force since being introduced. It has seen service in Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Bosnia. The last class of pilots graduated from the F-117 schoolhouse on 13 October. The F-117 is being phased out, and the 7th Fighter Squadron, which oversaw the school, was deactivated in December 2006.
