The way I see it, if it costs less than 120 times what a F-15 costs it is worth it. (241/2)

However, we'll probably lose more F-22s to accidents or poor maintenance than to any round-to-air missiles or even to aireal combat.

It seems like every year we hear about an accident with an F-16 or some other military aircraft.

If the F-22 wasn't built perfect, then it too will have it's accidents and maintenance related mishaps. Every time an F-22 fighter crashes you're going to hear people cry out with a loud "OUCH!".

Two or three of those lost in accidents per year would be the equivalent of many F-16s.
