Hi everyone,

Looks like the maintainence costs for the nighthawk are getting to much for the USAF and its contractors.
So there going to replace the RAM !!

>>The modification, entailing stripping and re-coating the entire F-117 fleet, replaces the sheet-coated RAM on the wings, rudders and fuselage and uses a
precise robotic process to apply a RAM coating to almost 75 percent of the airframe, he said. These areas which are never accessed for maintenance
will require virtually no future RAM repairs. Areas that are frequently
accessed will have removable RAM sheets applied to the maintenance panels.<<
