Air dominance for the next 30 years.

I'm glad the AP has all those numbers for the world in living detail. And of course, also good that they broke it down to what was being stationed and where.

I feel safe.

It's kinda funny. There are people here who believe that the F-22 Raptor isn't going to be a apart of our inventory. I wonder how many squadrons of Raptors we have to have before they concede that the F-22 is going to replace the F-15 as the world's top gun, premier fighter. Not just as a concept, but squadrons of them. Yee haw!

Why is a general being trained to fly this plane, besides ego gratification?

Gee. All they needed to do now is report how the planes were stationed on the deck, and who maintains them, and where who maintains them lives.

The F-16 and the B-1 are still the sexiest planes in the air. The 22 looks like the bastard child of the British Tornado and the F-18.

Rank has it privileges.

If he like it, and I am sure he will, he will be an advocate for the plane.

The government doesn't make a secret of procurements or deployments like that. WTF do you expect an F-22 to protect you from anyway?

My vote would be the P-38. But I don't believe there are any "in the air" anymore...
