A second F-117 was hit and almost downed....flown by the Son of an old Flying Buddy. His account of that Night is also a very interesting story.

A few years ago the damaged F-117 was referenced on the USAF website.

Jun 9, 1999 Operation Allied Force ended. More than 800 SAMs were fired at NATO aircraft, but only one F-117 and one F-16 were downed. Another F-117 suffered minor damage from a SA-3 that exploded nearby and two A-10s were damaged by anti-aircraft artillery fire. During the campaign, 35,219 sorties were flown, 16,587 non-precision guided missiles and 6,728 precision guided missiles (23,315) were dropped
