True for me too. I remember that game. Reading the manuals for all the Jane's and Microprose's games, and taking them very seriously, was definitely a childhood highlight.
Btw, I found that GoG has F-117A and the reviews are awesome. I hope these are genuine reviews because they definitely echo my experience :-) Here is the link: https://www.gog.com/game/f117a_nighthawk_stealth_fighter_20
"...it will keep you on the edge of the seat.."
"This game is in the top three of all PC games I have ever played."
Definitely echoes my colored-by-nostalgia-memories :)
Edit: I have a question — what is the best way to play this game on a MacBook? (Without installing windows or Linux)
