The F-22 was cancelled for costing $150 million/each

The Navy would be better off buying more FA-18s.

There won't be many more fighters that will require a pilot. I know that sounds sacrilegious to all the flyboys out there, but that day is coming.

The Designer Of The F-16 Explains Just How Stupid The F-35 Is.

Pretty alarming interview from a guy who certainly sounds like he knows what he is talking about.

Exactly what was this plane supposed to do that the F-22 doesn’t do? I forget.

I have read more than once that the F-15 is the most successful fighter ever.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..They were flying these cool X-wing fighters.

I notice the typical liberal hypocrisy with current Pentagon budgets. They moan about DoD spending, but look who is funding projects like the F-35, two LCS designs, etc, and who is getting rich off of all of it.

somewhere, PukinDog is laughing...

A camel is a horse designed by committee.

The f35 was doomed the second a general got his finger in the pie.

I think we’d do better with more F-16’s and F-18’s and for God’s sake, bring back the F-14! I’m also a big fan of an upgraded F-4 and one of my fave, the F-5 and F-20. The F-15 Silent Eagle is a good plane too.
