Called the world’s most capable fighter, the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor has a thrust ratio better than 1:1 and exhaust nozzles that can vector thrust and give the pilot super-maneuverability. (Richard VanderMeulen)

My Niece used to date a pilot from Eglin’s 33rd Fighter Wing.
I was talking to him at my Parents house and mentioned they had interviewed a Langley pilot on TV the day before. This was not long after Desert Storm.
He said all the pilots called the First Fighter Wing, the Worst Fighter Wing. He said they shot down exactly one plane during the war. I think he said the Eglin planes shot down 23.
Lame, it dropped a bomb in the mud. We only have like 180 of these things. They better save them for air to air.
We better start thinking of our strengths and our potential enemy’s weakness or we will lose the global war of POWER. “”
That is what is is.
Otherwise, build windmills and learn to cook grasshoppers...
That is what it is...
Is dropping a bomb on a ground target really considered “combat” for a fighter plane?
