A Question About US Air Force F-117A Nighthawks in Operation Allied Force

[Richard E]

A relatively simple question and whilst I haven't been able to find the answer I'm hoping this information is/should be in the public domain.

I am trying to find out where the 49th FW F-117A Nighthawks were based during Operation Allied Force (NATO Operations over Kosovo) - I'm guessing that they flew from Aviano but it would be appreciated if someone could confirm please?

I believe I remember the one that was shot down was operating from Aviano according to the media

I went on a couple of trips to Aviano in that period and we didn't see any but then we were not there at night

Operated from Aviano Air Base, Italy and Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany
