Posted to YouTube on February 13, 2020, an interview with F-117 pilot Maj. Robert "Robson" Donaldson ("Bandit 321") USAF (Ret.)  Beginning at the 31min 09sec mark, he describes the F-117's secondary air-to-air anti-AWACS mission. Long rumored and suspected, this is the first confirmation I have heard of it.  My understanding is it was armed with AIM-9 Sidewinders, rails shoulder-mounted to the F-117's trapeze racks.
