    Two more F-117 fighters were hit over Yugoslavia but landed on surrounding air ports (one of them in Bosnia). It’s silly to call that crew lucky. A mission was sent to seek them out. That’s when the F-16 that was supposed to expose the ground radar got shot down as well. These guys were good. Considering the equipment they were using and how easy it was to spot them if the radar was left on too long.
