Stealth jets destined for Air Force boneyard
TUCSON, Arizona (AP) - Military officials say most of the Air Forces stealth fighter airplanes are expected to be relegated within the next two years to an Arizona boneyard.An Air Force spokeswoman, Captain Michelle Lai, says at least one of the 52 F-117 Nighthawks is likely to go to a museum. Lai says others could be sold to US allies, but most would go to the boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base near Tucson. Fifty Nighthawks are based at Holloman Air Force Base. Two others are assigned to test squadrons, including one at Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas, Nevada. President Bush last week proposed phasing out all the F-117s over two years.
