Background:
The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is a retired American single-seat, twin-engine
stealth attack aircraft developed by Lockheed's secretive Skunk Works division
and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). It was the first
operational aircraft to be designed with stealth technology.
The aircraft's official name is "Night Hawk", however the alternative
form "Nighthawk" is frequently used.
As it prioritized stealth over aerodynamics, it earned the nickname
"Wobblin' Goblin" due to its alleged instability at low speeds.
However, F-117 pilots have stated the nickname is undeserved. "Wobblin'
(or Wobbly) Goblin" is likely a holdover from the early Have Blue / Senior
Trend (FSD) days of the project when instability was a problem. In the USAF,
"Goblin" (without wobbly) persists as a nickname because of the
aircraft's appearance. During Operation Desert Storm, Saudis dubbed the
aircraft "Shaba", which is Arabic for "Ghost". Some pilots
also called the airplane the "Stinkbug".
