F-19
open-in-new
<p>F-19 is a skipped <a href="/facts/DoD/1GEQR9Bb">DoD</a> designation in the <a href="/facts/1962_United_States_Tri-Service_aircraft_designation_system/kHjJtWg2">Tri-Service fighter aircraft designation sequence</a> which was thought by many popular media outlets to have been allocated to the <a href="/facts/Lockheed_F-117_Nighthawk/nmV3lC9Y">Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk</a>. The designation was actually skipped at Northrop's request, to avoid confusion with the <a href="/facts/MiG-19/4LL7lMRL">MiG-19</a>. </p>
