My guess, a modified HH-60 to make it less radar reflective/low IR. Pics on page 2 of the thread are excellent.

thanks for the thread.. my bad. Very very interesting stuff. Page 3 CAD image is unbelievable... if anything that would be the best guess in my opinion.

Along this topic, when did the US release information on the F-117? And was the first gulf war the first time to use it?

Panama. Needed to un-ass some dude that was camped out.

The F-117 has been used several times in war. Its first mission was during the United States invasion of Panama in 1989.[35] During that invasion two F-117A Nighthawks dropped two bombs on Rio Hato airfield.
Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As for coming out of the closet (from the link as well)

The Air Force denied the existence of the aircraft until 1988, when a grainy photograph was released to the public. In April 1990 two were flown into Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, arriving during daylight and visible to a crowd of tens of thousands

Cool

Word has it that Osama Bin Ladin has been dead since 2002. Died of Marfan's syndrome.
