yeah, especially since the F-117 lands "hot". It's stall speed is very high for a modern jet which is why it deploys a drog 'shute during landing. hum, can;t think of where he's going to find a long paved run way. Now if it was an STOVL equipt F-35 Lightening II, he'd have more choices.
still the nice thing about a jet during the civil war era is that fuel would be available. They were distilling kerosene for lamp oil by then. If it were a high proformacne prop plane (WW2 fighter for example) they didn;t have the technology to distilee and refine the high octane aviation fuel they run on.
