It would be very nice if you guys can actually replace the RQ-9 Dark Star with F-117 Nighthawk for USA Air Force General in the upcoming Contra 008 mod. AF General without F-117 is slightly less fun to play with.

For me, I normally play Air Force General. Imagine an airforce consisting of F-16. F-18, F-22, F-35, F-117 and Aurora Alpha bomber. Well, can seriously rape any enemy. :D
