It knocks down Su-27s without them even knowing the Raptors are there.

If you fly a 152, a Blackhawk will do the honors for you.

But we never seem to get to that point. We dumb-down our military to the level of the combatant and street-fight. When I see that we have the resolve to use the most powerful military in existence, I will go along with the production of the F-22. Until then we need to load a bag full of rocks and give that to our military.

Let's put it this way, you'll feel the heat before you see what started the fire!

As an Almost Private Pilot I wonder how one of these things will look flying slow and dirty next to my 152, if I stray too close to Bush's ranch. 25 or so years ago I was flying from Birmingham AL to Columbus GA in a 172 at 3000 feet, and much to my surprise two F4s passed underneath me. I suspect I was being used for target practice!
