So three of the best combat aircraft to ever grace the skies is going to be replaced by one aircraft that has yet to prove it can fly, let alone successfully function.

Niiiiiiiice.

Well, it remains to be seen whether either the F-22 or F-35 are the best fighters ever to fly.

The F-22 has had its share of problems — most notably its OBOGS — the system that provides breathing oxygen to the pilot at altitude. I don't know if the USAF has ever tried to dogfight an F-22 yet.

The F-35s have been too few to even try such things as they have yet to enter service in any numbers. No dogfighting has been done with the F-35 either.

The net take away is we will have to see what these new super fighters can do — and hope that our current F-18s, F-16s, and F-15s will get the job done.

You they are operational right? Flying all the time? Because they are. Working just fine.
