This is definitely a shot in the dark...Anyone here have contact info for any AF F-117 types who flew in Desert Storm? Send me a pm if you know of someone.

The Viper West demo pilot Maj. David "Booster" Graham was a nighthawk driver for a long time - not sure if he was in the first round of the sandbox or not. . . .

http://viperwest.hill.af.mil/ is the link to the team and there is an email addy there.

Ken Dwelle was a nighthawk driver during DSI I think.

His father is Tom and they own several T-6s and a Sea Fury (used to be the racer Critical Mass).

Ken's F-117 was made famous by being shot down in 1999 during the Kosovo War. His name was painted on the canopy "Capt. Ken 'Wiz' Dwelle", although he was not flying that sorti.
