Is he going to replace it with something more advanced?
Silly question...

well,,,,,,
I see the congressman's point but, believe me there are lots of Sheriff's sales going on in the suburbs. Lots of folks where I live (Annapolis) are losing their homes. Probably because of liar loans and got way in over their head.
There are lots of Sheriff's sales in Northern Virginia as well.
Hyperbole! me thinks.

This argument makes the F-22 seem like a make-work program, not a US military lifesaving system. That is what it is!!! The day of the maned aircraft is fast coming to an end!!

I agree that money is not the concern here. Stopping production of the best aircraft of it’s kind is. And as you state, even if built, who would order it’s utilization? Obama doesn’t need it to fight the real enemy, you, I and other decent U.S. Citizens.
This guy is the quintessential beauty queen... “Ah, yes, ah, I want world peace.”
Airhead! (not you)

Yes he was. I find it hard to believe his brother was in the Air Force but he turns around and calls Air Force pilots idiots.

I saw a piece over the weekend about the ‘EURO’ fighter. It looked pretty cool. Anyone know about its capabilities vis-a-vis the F-22?
To: Jeff Gordon
They rely upon satellites. Satellites that may suddenly disappear in a real shooting war. Of course the F-22, B-2 and all those smart bombs also rely upon satellites. Sadly, you are right. First thing the Chicoms or Ruskies do in a real war is kill our satelites. If we ignore conventional warfighting capabilities, we do so at our own peril.

Ive worked with them , seen how they work and believe me they are still a threat
Anyone who thinks the Chinese and the Russians aren't accomplished warfighters is a complete dumbass. And I've never served in intel or any other capacity. All I did was read a history book. That tells you all you need to know about whether or not they can fight.

I think it is perfectly clear that with Zero as CinC, The USA is essentially just waiting, defenseless, for the next 9.11.
The appeaser in chief, unilaterally disarming America. Yours and my guns next up.

Well never lose air superiority.
And how do you figure that, O Master of the Universe?

Let’s destroy our ability to make fighter aircraft by knee-capping
those who jump through all the hoops and develop a world class 21st century fighter.

"Maybe the Air Force should be next on the chopping block. It would be poetic justice. Is it uncomfortable walking around with your head up your a$$ all day long?

Early on here - Stopping the F-22 production maynot even come to pass, hopefully not -
This is a terrible decision (and the notion to go ahead even more robustly with the F-35 is even worse. That is a plane that doesn't fit any fight it is suppose to, as well as other airframes currently).
The F-22 is needed and the cost is more than worth it and Washington has more than enough $$$ to make sure this programs continues. It is essential to NS.

Anyone remember the guy that used to be a FReeper....speed addiction or some such thing? He too claimed a bunch of stuff, one being that he used to be military. It turned out he was nothing but a big internet liar trying to make himself look like a big shot.
Today's thread reminds me of that guy.
