What is it with the US numbering system, after the war they swapped the P for the F and the numbers went up to the century aircraft and culminated in the F111, then the 1 seemed to be dropped and there was stuff like the F14, 16 etc with it all currently on the F35, so why was the F117 numbered so and what happened to the F116 and will there be a f118?
Oh and how does the F5 fit in to all this?
