F-117 is fully retired from military service. NASA still flies one for research, but they are no longer flying in the AF. They were retired many years ago.

Not a Boeing, an Airbus. Boeing does not announce "retard", but Airbus does.
ok, there are several issues with this accident.
first flight in many, many years. I guess it will take over for the AN-225 when possible
every pilot does this, that way you have space on both sides of the runway in case something happens and you're NOT close to the edge of the runway. You learn this in your first couple of lessons when getting your private license.
that takes all the "FUN" out of it!
