I believe Lockheed could reopen the F-22A production line fairly quickly. However, you can forget about building new A-10’s—the production jigs are long, long gone.

The jigs were built once; they can be built again.

The F-22 is obsolete and the tooling was not taken to a warehouse - contrary to what we were told.

Maybe we need an updated version of this plane, from the ground up?

“the production jigs are long, long gone.”

Fine. Make new ones. They did it before.
