I got a lock on a F117 once whilst we were doing an offensive VID. The USAF weren't too happy when I blurted out the ID of the aircraft on a clear frequency!!!! Apparently at the time it was 'optimised for surface to air threats'.
The F-117 employed signature augmentation "devices" to increase its signature on many missions including deployments. These were removed for operational scenarios.
