I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. The F117's computers made hundreds of corrections/changes per second to keep the thing in the air. If you are interested, a good book that talks about the developement of the F117 is "Skunk Works" by Ben E. Rich. The book covers the history of Lockheed's secret division and certain aircraft; U-2, A-12, SR-71 and the F-117.
