We can cover the F-22 gap with the F-15SE, the “Silent Eagle” and I would build more F-15 Strike Eagle’s too. I think we also need a lower cost fighter and always thought the F-20 would have fit the bill, basically an upgraded F-5. Lastly, we should have kept the F-14, despite the 1970 era electronics, it still can compete today.

One more thing, the CF-105 Avro Arrow was one plane that should have been built, I wonder how it would fare today? It was quite way ahead of it's time.

In the background is the CF-100 Canuck, I've seen films from that time and it's radar system was way ahead of it's time.
