Although the FA-18 is often touted as the most advanced of the fighter bombers, I don't think it's safety record has been exactly stellar, IIRC. Does anybody know what aircraft is next to be deployed? IS the YF-22 still on or did it bite the proverbial pentagonal dust?

Last I heard they were going to deploy them in limited numbers. I'll see what I can find.

Looks like the F-22 is a go.
