The F-117 was only stealthy in one band and mostly from the frontal aspect. We have other stuff that is far stealthier since they came out and with the F35 becoming mostly operational as a ground attack (even though it is a F not an A, though technically it should be an A35) there is no need for the F-117 other than adversary training. They are still stealthy compared to something like an F-5 or MiG-29 and still useful for training long rang intercepts.
