Yes. This type of aircraft has no place in the modern battlefield and Foreseeable conflicts. The money could be put into more usefull sistems (each unit cost about $235 million for 239 planes) Whats your opinion?

The F-22 is a great aircraft. This and future platforms have to be developed to stay ahead of the newest versions of the SU-37 with vectored thrust and its successors.

Ah well, I've spent plenty of years running around playing Don Quixote!

China will probably have countermeasures by then.

Given all I've read and been told . . . no specifics to speak of still in the memory banks . . . but the distillation . . .
yeah.
I believe it.
I expect, if Werner Von Braun was accurate at all, we should be seeing evidence of it in the next 3-12 years. He asserted around 1974 that after the planned war with terror and then with Iraq, would be an unneeded and dangerous war with ET in space.

I'm not sure how much water can be held by things you read here and there but i've read (and heard from people involved with Boeing) that the B2 Stealth Bomber actually having anti-gravity technology.
To: Quix
LOL, the F-22 is a DOn quixote project.

Thanks for the Thanksgiving blessing and the same back at you.
I don't expect to be believed at this point in time. My statements will be remembered or reminded of . . . in later contexts.
Believing or NOT believing will be much less of a CHOICE then.

Good evening.

You have obviously been paying such little attention with such a meager grasp of the few facts and assertions I've offered . . .
I would likely despair utterly of realistically hoping to . . .
be of any value toward your enlightenment at all.

It is. I think F-22 belongs with the Comanche, and the Crusader as outdated weaponry.

I like the lines.
Is it from a movie or a so called prototype?

With the multitude of systems at hand, the F-22 is, IMHO, a step in the right direction, and a valuable addition to our arsenal. Where I work, we machine many titanium parts for the F-22. Tolerances on the F-22 are tighter than the F-15 and F-18, too. This all adds to the cost besides all the data we now have save on the major fittings. I think the F-22 will be worth the cost. It will show the Chinese, Russians, French, or Indians that we mean business.
My Dad, who was a long time McDonell-Douglas manager and WW2 veteran would say "Those who control the skys will win the battle". Then he would add "Son, you don't want to be on the losing side in a war". A firm believer in peace through strength.

Hey man... just because you hear something doesn't mean its true. People talk a lot more than they know.

The F-15 was the finest fighter in its day. It will always be close to my heart for the long nights in overseas locations that I spent guarding it. The Russians put their MiG 25 up against it and for awhile the US was a little concerned about how the F-15 would fare in combat against the MiG, that is until a Soviet defector landed a MiG in Japan and US intelligence was able to see for themselves the inferior design of their fighter. Times have changed and the Russians are building some fine fighter jets nowadays. The beloved Eagle has fallen behind in superiority even with all of its retro fits. America can not wait to see what other countries have developed. We must continue to improve and upgrade weapons systems (both offensive and defensive) to thwart a preemptive attack. The Cold War with the former Soviet Union was won without massive loss of life due to advanced technology. We must continue to lead the way for the sake of future generations. The F-22 is a step in the right direction from what I've read.

Do you need glasses?
I've never spoken about puppet masteR unless maybe occasionally about George Soros but I doubt even then. I ALWAYS speak about
puppetmasterS.
Please get it right if you insist on pontificating toward me!
I would say that in general, given the puppet masters hell-bent desire to force, coerce the world's citizens into a world government; given Werner von Braun's assertions, it seems exceedingly logical to me that the puppet masters are behind the terrorists in general. I wouldn't know how specifically.
I certainly believe that they were behind the OKC bombing as evidently was Iraq.
And, I've begun to form a theory that they may be setting up Islam to become briefly the world religion consuming all others or destroying all others, only to then be also destroyed as satan insists on all worship himself.
