Correct me if I'm wrong but they were the first aircraft that had to have a working flight computer so they could be flown.

Sammy has it right. The F-16 was statically unstable and required a flight computer and was "nearly" impossible to fly without the computer. The F117 and the B2 & B3 are similar.
On the original topic, the F-22 production lines SHOULD be reactivated. That was one of the STUPIDEST decisions. Right when the on-going production costs were the lowest, the plane was cancelled.
