So I found this on Ebay...
I was searching on Ebay Germany when I found this: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Original-F-11...item1c29cc0d15
Is this legit ? And if it is, is it legal ? What do you think ?
Uh, no!!

An F-117 at e-bay ?
Sounds legit.
Read the description, it is a 4.5x14x5 cm piece of wing.Originally Posted by armored_diplomacy
See? I was right to be suspicious !
This is interesting:

Yeah I heared about people getting screwed for selling Body Armor, but just take a look on Ebay and you´ll see that obviously nobody gives a fvck. But this is like the weirdest thing I´ve seen so far. An alleged part of a F 117 wing that got shot down.
^^
Exactly, he´s either is a liar, or is looking for troubles.
What is illegal in selling piece of metal?It is an original part of the wing of the Lockheed Martin F-117 Nighthawk with the registration 82-0806, which was shot down on 27 March 1999 during the NATO airstrikes in Yugoslavia.
The dimensions are:
Height: 45mm
Width: 140mm
Depth: 50mm
Yeah and I hope that anybody here knows if he´s a liar or not
Its a honeycomb composite structure coated with composites, looks like the real deal to me.
This piece of whatever material is said to have once been part of a stealth aircraft of the U.S.Government, so if it realy is a piece of said F 117 than it´s not just metal and i don´t know if the public is meant to get hands on this material and I think it could also still be government property.
If all the parts that were offered over time were real the USA must have lost a whole squadron.
Thanks dude, thats what i wanted to hear.
The honeycomb structure inside is probably only slightly conductive, each cell thus only reflects a tiny fraction in different angles and most of the energy is absorbed. So thats cool, wondering how its done now with modern designs.
I know a little bit about this stuff, did a lot of electrodynamical simulations for my bachelor degree.
It looks like it would work, at least to me this structure makes sense for this purpose.
1. Its not metal
2. You do deserve the DAOTW award for life
