None of these guys has ever flown a fighter, let alone this fighter.

One would get another story from the guys that do, and the guys that have gone against it in initial trial combat operations.

What is sad is that the MSM and the left wing politicians actually pay attention to these agenda driven fools.

“One would get another story from the guys that do, and the guys that have gone against it in initial trial combat operations.

Which part of the story? the maintenance hour per flying hour part? The cost part?

These guys didn’t say the F22 wasn’t a fine aircraft, they basically argued it costs too much, is not presently deployable, and is not capable of missions beyond air superiority that are necessary in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Why must they have cockpit time in an F22 to make these points, which are quite relevant?

You should find out who Pierre Sprey is before you dismiss his arguments.
