An F-22 Raptor, an F-117 Nighthawk, an F-4 Phantom and an F-15 Eagle fly over Holloman Air Force Base, N.M. Oct. 27 during the Holloman Air and Space Expo. The expo showcased Air Force capabilities and the 49th Fighter Wing. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Jason Colbert)

Definitely. F-117 is useless at air-to-air combat. Even 3rg gen MiG-21 can take F-117 out, if it can spot it. F-117 is built for deep penetration strike, not air-to-air

On the other hand F-22 can beat any plane in air-to-air, and also perform strike missions better than F-117, and has a lower RCS.
 
F-117 Nighthawk served it time well during the nineties but indeed except for stealth caracteristics its a disaster.

It lags speed, payload and all weather capability. It can only be operated during night, a true nighthawk.
 
F/A-22 has many advantages over its the F-117 for instance the F-22 has capabilities of the F/A-18 meaning that it can do air to air and with a flick of a switch it can do air to ground unlike the F-117 which like SU-47 is more bomber oriented.
