F-117 pioneer test pilot passes away at 70

An F-117 Nighthawk flies over the Nevada desert. The unique design of the single-seat F-117 provides exceptional combat capabilities. The fighter can employ a variety of weapons and is equipped with sophisticated navigation and attack systems integrated into a digital avionics suite that increases mission effectiveness and reduces pilot workload. Retired Lt. Col. Robert 'Bob' Riedenauer, 70, a pioneer test pilot for the F-117 passed away April 23 at his home in California. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Aaron D. Allmon II)
