Just a little known fact for ya,  the actual color of the RAM on F117s
is 
brown/tan.  The USAF had them repainted because the origional color
would 
not be "manly" enough for the pilots.  Hence the sinister black paint 
job.  The only thing the black paint does is make it harder to see at 
night.

er, RAM=Radar Absorbent Material
