Colonels pilot Nighthawks into the sunset
Four colonels with ties to the F-117A Nighthawk piloted the final four operational jets out of Holloman Air Force Base for the type's retirement.
Col. Jack “Ripper” Forsythe, the 49th Fighter Wing Operations Group commander, flew a Nighthawk emblazoned with an American flag pattern on its belly. Lt. Col. Todd “Meat” Flesch, Lt. Col. Ken “Tot” Tatum and Lt. Col. Mark “Drink” Drinkard flew the other three Nighthawks.
