    Botched Contract Text or the Scoop of the Decade?

    Even more bizarre this comes as reports of seeing F-117s, a supposedly retired jet, flying around over the Groom Lake/Nellis area start to surface..

    The Contract Text from Defence.Gov

    And the oddness heats up...

    What's a F17 jet? That alone leads me to believe it's probably botched contract text - or at least reporting from someone who doesn't know much about fighter jets...
