I believe that there was an article in " The New Scientist" that showed that F117's did four separate sorties over the enemy territory using the same route and that the Serbs started to track them when they tied fluctuating TV signals at one point of the flight to the passage of the aircraft and so got the last one! Incidentally the Smithsonian channel on Sky (171) had a series of programmes called "Combat Aircraft" and one was indeed about the 117 and covered that particular mission including an interview with the pilot.
