I guess the USAF needs to start ordering F/A-18s?
No, they need to accelerate procurement of the F-22. Let's face it, the F-15 is about a 35 year old aircraft. It's time for replacement. The Navy has retired the F-14, which is similar in age, for much the same reasons: it was getting too difficult to maintain aircraft that old.

No, they need to accelerate procurement of the F-22.We can fund it with a tax cut.
