I cannot understand how this program survived as it did. I had hoped it would, but with the initial problems, I am simply amazed that it did. Kudos to those who supported it.

Now, as for the F22... we need to save that program, and that’s all there is to it.

Might turn out to be a game-changing aircraft if the teething problems are really solved. Glad to see it. Other than stealth and avionics, aviation technology has been pretty stagnant for a couple of decades.

Without a doubt the Osprey was a needed aircraft and those who fought for it, understood the battle needs.

The F-22 is certainly as in a USN fighter / interceptor to finally have a true replacement for the F-14. The F-18F is great but is not a true replacement for the 14s.

Now finding a way to keep the F-35 out of any and all serious CAS roles is another big fight all boots on the ground want fought out. Long live the A-10 and AC-130s.

It survived only because of the determination of the Marine Corps.
