The F-22 just wasn’t the plane it was cracked up to be. It did have all the pricetag you could ever imagine!

Is that sarcasm? It's the premier fighter in the world today and will be for many years.

You're right. It is much more. And considering how long we use our airplanes (decades) and the number of lives that depend upon them, I think the F-22 is a bargain.

It's a pity that some are so short sighted, so misinformed, as well as being innocent of intellect and common sense, and yet they are the ones who decide our fate as well as the fatalities of those whose lives depend upon their decisions.

Speaking of crack, put the pipe down and step away slowly.

“The F-22 just wasn’t the plane it was cracked up to be.”

Leonide - do you have any idea of what you’re saying?

Here let me answer that: No, you do not. Its capabilities have NOTHING to do with a fool wanting to cancel the F-22 program. There is a bit of a difference between the two statements.
The fool does not CARE how capable the fighter jet is. His plan to completely unravel what ever is left of this country is his plan. The F-22 is just one more piece of technology that is in the way of his plan while at the same time - undermining a continually weakening military.
You’re a professor?! Must be teaching the poor kids the way of the big O.........

The F-22 is the plane it is cracked up to be. We will now have @180 of them. However, the Chinese wil catch us in 3 or 4 years if we stand still. It is sad to see so many Freepers not bothered when these leftist scum hack our military. This is only the beginning.

That's not at all what I've heard - everything that I've heard is that it's currently essentially unbeatable by any other aircraft out there, even when significantly outnumbered.

Yes it was. It does just what it was designed to do and does it well.

BS. It is not only all it was meant to be...it is more. Our own, very, very good pilots in 4th generation fighters (F-15, F-15E, F-16, F-18) cannot touch it and come away blown away by it.

We need more not less...we are not at the end of warfare with nation states. A bunch of people thought the same thing and said the same things in the 20s and 30s, and then came WWII. History is a very stiff and harsh teacher.

Crap! Nice disinformation try!

The F-22 just wasn’t was many times more than the plane it was cracked up to be
