Well... I tried to test your mission, but it said I was missing "addon tmf_117" and wouldn't let me load the mission, so I couldn't test that part. I managed to test your aircraft a little bit and here are some things I found immediately:
1. The texturing needs to be changed, it isn't that attractive.
2. In real life, a Global Hawk isn't that "fat", it is more long and narrow.
3. When I put the gear up, the front hear was retracted but was floating 5 feet below the aircraft all the time.
4. In real life, the global hawk's rear aerial fins are pointed in a downward V, not a regular V. That is what separates it from the predator.
Nice concept though, keep working.

Ok, downloaded the F117 to play the demo mission.
Not much there. I was just standing there, and out the corner of my sreen the Global Hawk disappeared out of sight. I waited for a while, and nothing happened, so I quit. ;)
The writing on one of the sides is backwards aswell. 8)

This does not look like a zero. It looks more like a ki-43... The a6m Reisen was the Imperial Japanese Navy's fighter, and the ki-43 Hayabusa was the Army's fighter. The ki-43 was actually more maneoverable than the zero, due to its butterfly flaps, but didn't have near the performance. Here's a few pictures for comparison. I tried to get pics as close to your demo pic as possible.
Ki-43:

I also found a diagram to help you out a bit:

as compared to the ki-43, you can begin to see the differences more clearly.
