Well somebody finally got their head out of their *ss and realized what a valuable weapon it is.

Thank G-d the Wart hangs on.

I'd love to Michelle Bachmann float a bill to sell the entire fleet of these to the Israeli's for One Dollar and see who would oppose it to wake up these dunderheads in Congress.

The Israeli's would come up with new Drawings ( CAD ) and go from their with CAM. I see no problem with the manufacturing technologies available today to literally make parts as needed from Math Models.

Can you imagine the magic the Israeli's would perform on this bird like the did the F4 Phantom?

Engine upgrade competition for a Geared Fan with lower TSFC and noise and more thrust works for me as well.
