Hampden98,

Shot down by SA-3 Goa. An SA-3 was also responsible for damage to another F-117 during the conflict in 1999. The AAA theory was purely from the stills of the wreckage at the time. Many observers confused the SA-3 fragmentation warhead holes with what they thought were bullet holes. The 250th Air Defence Missile Brigade later confirmed that it was purely SA-3s that were used in the shootdown.

Pilot of the shot down F-117, Lt. Colonel Dale Zelko, describes the event in the following video.

Another F-117 was damaged by an SA-3 Goa during 1999.

Jun 9, 1999 Operation Allied Force ended. More than 800 SAMs were fired at NATO aircraft, but only one F-117 and one F-16 were downed. Another F-117 suffered minor damage from a SA-3 that exploded nearby and two A-10s were damaged by anti-aircraft artillery fire. During the campaign, 35,219 sorties were flown, 16,587 non-precision guided missiles and 6,728 precision guided missiles (23,315) were dropped

I was doing some private research into Operation Allied Force and requested the serial of this combat damaged F-117 under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Five documents were retrieved during a 2011 search, but all are still classified.
