no war in sight where you would need an air superiority fighter like the raptor.

REally? You feel there's no possibility of war in the 3-4 year window it would take to make more of these? I wish like hell that was a 100% certain fact, but we all know it's not. I don't like those oddds. Shit changes, and when it does, it happens fast.

I predict Obama will sell the Technology to China in exchange for lowering some tariffs temporarily.

Each State Air Guard unit needs at least one squadron (18 fighters per squadron). Several coastal States should have a full wing (3 squadrons): Alaska, California, Florida, Texas, Virginia, Hawaii, the Dakotas and Maine. Some pacifist New England States probably may not want any. So figure at least one thousand fighters to cover threats from north, west, south and east.
