Wrong on both points again my friend - I worked on F-86s AND F-117s and the F-117 was very maneuvarable and had great acceleration when its ordinance was unloaded. - In a scenario as you say the Saber would have to go visual as it radar computing site would be useless. More than likely an F-117 would accelerate away from a Saber.
The 117's whole design concept was to be operated at night so there was little visual and no radar tracking available. The F-117 also was never intended to be operated as a fighter and based on it's sortie to loss ratio since its introduction it was probably the best strike aircraft to ever fly with regards to safety and effectiveness.
The F-22? Different story - 2nd generation stealth and it was designed as an air to air fighter.
Well I'm only trying to say the F-22 is better, and why, since the poll was rather vague as to the reason we thought one or another was the best. Since you've had personal experience a lot closer than I have, I'm glad you're able to shed some light on such things. I'm not just trying to pick fights or anything. We armchair generals have to have opinions too!
