Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
I can sorta understand why the USAF isn't thrilled with the F-35 (for that matter CAS aircraft in general) after all everyone is going to use it someone might think we no longer need a separate Air Force!
But the F-22? While I take the hype concerning it with more then a few grains of salt all indications are it really is top notch air superiority aircraft. Besides just what the heck do they think a new airframe is going to provide? As Lockheed Martin said, upgrade the various systems if and as needed, no reason for a new airframe.
