General comments

• "The USAF retired the F-117 in April 2008" but the article says August 2008.

Source review

No effort made to assess the quality of sources, as this is not required for GA.

• fn 6: date?

• changed source to full text and updated pub date to match full text source

• fn 8: Is this the same as fn 6? As what is the UCI there for?

• yes, repointed it to fn6

• fn 9: Air and Space Power Journal is a jpournal? Should be in italics

•  Done

• fn 13: Is the only one where the journal is linked.

• this is different journal from Air and Space Power. I could add Air and Space Power Journal to the sources? As far as I know neither way is standardized

• fn 21, 89, 129, 152: Access date?

• I did not add any of these sources so I am not sure what to do here? I suppose I could go into the history to find it? Maybe there is a bot for that?

• fn 78: Cites a whole book. Move to the bibliography and provide a page number.

•  Done

• fn 83, 154: page number required

•  Done

• fn 112: Aerotech News and Review is a magazine? Should be in italics

•  Done

• fn 124, 152: Publisher?

• Done I think

• fn 128: Flight International is a magazine? Should be in italics

•  Done

• fn 135, 145: Title?

•  Done

• fn 138, 139: The Drive is a magazine? Should be in italics

•  Done

• fn 141: Merced Sun-Star is a newspaper? Should be in italics

•  Done

• Reference formatting is inconsistent - some use sfn templates and others do not

• Ok, does that matter? Are there not bots to do stuff like that?

• Alphabetic order: "Goodall" comes before "Gunston"

•  Done

• In further reading, should The World's Great Stealth and Reconnaissance Aircraft come before "Winchester"?

  Because 'The' is before 'W' ? I don't think so.

• Clark (1992) is the only reference with an OCLC

  Ok, I don't know what to do about that.

The MOS says that newspapers should have the location, unless it is already part of the title.

• Ok, are you referring to things like AeroTech News? I don't think that counts.

References required

• At end of F-117B section
• First sentence of "nicknames"

Overall

• Looks pretty good. Referencing needs improvement.
