The finest MIG`s gettin` picked off like fish in a barrell by F-16`s.

What`s gonna happen when the F-22 Raptor`s take to the skies ! ?

We have to hope it does take to the skies. There was some buzz in this latest presidential budget that they are cutting funding to the raptor program. I don't know the extent of the impact. Do you know more?

seems to be cut in total number of planes, not program.
