Military folks, is this good? Is it enough?
Hopefully, the F-22 production line will be geared up again under President Trump.
Typical of Obama, do anything to hurt the U.S. All of those Obama phones, plus their monthly cost (none of which was purchased at a discount), could’ve paid for a lot of the F-22s.
IMHo, when McDonnell-Douglas said if the AF would increase the buy of F15s by the number of aircraft we’d be buying as F16s they’d come within a couple million of the same per aircraft price for all F15s purchased as the F16 per aircraft cost we screwed the pooch big time by not taking that deal.
the one I always was fond of was the 747 missile wagon concept.
Obama will have them install , “I surrender” ticker on their sides
Investing?
The Eagles need AESA Radar, IRST, and a special radio link to communicate with F-22s.
Beautiful aircraft - even after all these years. When I was in High School in ‘64, one of my friend’s fathers was a design engineer on the F15. He told me a few things about it - mainly “just wait and see, you’ll love it.”
Why doesn’t the Air Force go out and buy a thousand Silent Eagles and modify the rest to meet that specification?
Also,I’d like to see the F22’s engines mounted in the modified F15s.
Only the F-22 surpasses it.
However, the F-35 can take it out from 50-100 miles away.
But the F-35 can't dog fight.
