Night Hawk: F-117A Stealth Fighter 2.0 is the 1991 sequel to the Cold War flight simulator video game F-19 Stealth Fighter.

The original PC game was updated with a corrected aircraft model once the F-117 Nighthawk was declassified and with 256-color VGA graphics instead of the original's 16-color EGA, among other changes. The new game introduced new theatres of warfare such as Cuba and Operation Desert Storm - in the wake of the Persian Gulf War, the Iraqis were no longer the allied nation that they had been in the previous game.
