I don't think you really have any idea what the F-22 is capable of in the WOT. I say this because only top secret clearence level people have an inkling what new things can be added to an existing machine.
Look, we’re professionals, right? let’s not mention TS stuff ever here in a public forum, ok? Don’t get overexcited and spill some beans that shouldn’t be spilled!
We’re having a discussion here on the F-22. It’s being phased out but there are better planes coming your way. It could even be that the F-22 will be revised and rereleased in 2013-2014. The aircraft in the military have a very extensive shelflife.
That shelf life, is due in no small part, to the great work of maintenance by our great heroes in the U.S. Military. I know this first hand because I did do maintenance work on Navy aircraft in the gulf in the early 1990’s.
