What a grand improvement with over 40 years of technology updates.
More importantly, the USAF has more ovaries and melanin than it previously had…
I enlisted in 2001, and it sounds like it has become far worse in just 20 years.
The hilarious part is that the Air Force is starting to quietly circulate RFPs for a cheaper, lightweight 5th or 6th gen fighter now… basically the same role as the original F-16 and all but a tacit admission that the F-35 is a failure - because that is what the 35 was supposed to be for the F-22.
