Why the F-22...

[Bullet]

Hey all,

Recently received a great link I thought I would share with you all. Gives the story of why the AF wants the F-22. Very cool video (and I know a few of the guys in it, which made me laugh).

Enjoy!

Reminded me of a poster I saw recently at Langley (home of the first F-22 wing):

The F-22: because kicking your butts with F-15s and F-16s for the past 30 years got boring....

And here is the article discussing America's need to maintain air dominance referenced in the above link. It's written by the same guy who brought you "Black Hawk Down"...

Interesting article. Common sense would probably tell you that this is the case, which is why I think the F-22 line should pump out some more of those bad boys.

I think that producing the F-35 will be validation for Washington to cut the F-22 program.
