Actually the F-22 is a stealth fighter. If you look at the pic of it's bottom you'll see the two bombay doors where it's weapons are carried. Even the 20MM cannon has a small flap to make it blend in. That is one of the F-22s most important characteristics. Without stealth an aircraft won't survive very long in the air battlefield of the future. The F-15 lights up radar like a Christmas tree.
The one lament I have is that the Navy won't have an air superiority fighter like the F-14 in the future.

I know. I was making a small joke about the "picture" in post #56...
