      There was only 64 F-117s built with 59 being operational. It only flew from 1983 until 2008 but most aircraft saw combat in the Gulf War and former Yugoslavia. F-117 88-0843 was the 59th and last operational F-117 to be produced making its maiden flight on May 11, 1990. The aircraft was given the name "Affectionately Christine" and during the Gulf War with the 415th TFS completed 33 combat missions. Due to airframe wear and the introduction of the F-22 Raptor the F-117 was given a special paint scheme and retired.
