One thing to keep in mind is that the F-117 is the best known and most study stealth tech in our inventory. It is the standard unit of measurement. So if you're testing some new RAM or mirror-finish stealth coating, what better planform to apply it to? It's also the some of the only stealth tech that has been captured by our enemies. So if you're looking to test a new IRST pod against what's likely the best tech our adversaries have been able to copy from us, again, Nighthawk is your baby. Yes, we know they're using them in a fairly standard configuration as aggressors, and that could easily have been done out of Edwards or Fallon, but I think there's likely a lot more those old birds are doing out there in the desert.
