A number of British exchange pilots have served in F-117 Squadrons. I don't know if pilots from elsewhere have. I would have thought the Nighthawk would have few secrets to reveal now. I do know that it is much slower than most people would expect, and the landing speed is pretty high, so its range of operating speeds are limited.
