But on the night of 27 March 1999 he was uncomfortable. Weather conditions meant the stealth fighters would not have their usual escort of "Prowler" electronic jamming planes or F16s firing anti-radar missiles.
"I'd never felt so strongly - if there was ever a night, a mission for an F117 to get shot down, it would be this one. I wasn't surprised when it happened," he says.
Great story. Maybe a bit incomplete on the strategic reason of why their first "meeting" took place.

Actually, weather had nothing to do with the lack of Prowler support that night. It was arrogance.
Yip. Not recycling ingress plans helps.
