Brilliant. Why have stealth when you can see the escorts?

[Joe 6-pack]

So our non-stealthy aircraft are going to lead our stealthy aircraft into battle.

Wow.

Yesterday Col. David Hathaway of the 388th Fighter Wing unit announced the Air Force is going to retire 250 aircraft “which will allow us to reshape our force into a smaller, leaner, more agile and capable force for the future.”

We have brilliant strategists today, I must say. Fewer aircraft means more capability. Highly visible aircraft leading billion dollar stealth fighters means better air dominance.

I’m not a military strategist, but it sure seems like the whole military command has swallowed huge fatal gulps of Obama-Ade. This is frightening stuff.

Things must be slow for Fulghum at Aviation Week:

Upgraded F-15Cs to protect F-22s

[pfflier]

It has it's strengths.

The SEAD mission is strengthened with a fighter as well as a jammer in the F-15C.

The EA-6B is long in the tooth and has less performance than the F-15C provides as well as no defensive armament. So, the package of F-15Cs and F-22s is more air combat capable thereby more mission compatible and survivable...in theory.

We have some real jackasses running things these days.
