'Lockheed Martin's "Skunkworks" of Palmdale, California, is to carry out the first major structural overhaul of the US Air Force's Lockheed F-117 stealth fighters, since first becoming operational in 1983. This is part of the cost saving F-117 Single Configuration Fleet upgrade programme, aimed at reducing all the different low observable configurations into a single configuration.'
