Too bad, only wish it would have been the V-22 or F-22 programs.
V-22 can still be axed.
But, isn't the F-22 already 'deployed', at least at Tyndall?
VL
Yes it is. I was down is Destin, FLA (just down the road from Tyndall) a couple
of weeks ago (vacation to get out of the cold) and saw a couple of F-22's
flying around over the Gulf of Mexico. Those babies "howl" when they fly.
Also saw a Tyndall AF pilot being interviewed on the local Destin news
concerning their brand spanking new F-22's.......can't remember his exact
words, but he was grinning ear to ear and said something to the effect that he
was flying the greatest fighter in existence.
Also visited the AF armament museum there. Ed R. might like to see the F-104
they have there. The thing looks like it just came off the assembly line.
