Not as smart as shutting down the F-22 in '98.

We're certainly past that point. Today, the F-15s are literally falling apart
in the air and something is needed to replaced the old F-15C and soon-to-be
F-15E airframes. (Friends in the squadrons often tell tales of shedding tail
feathers, etc.) New production F-15s? Maybe? Or new production F-22s?
Whatever?
