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?

Cut them up.

Yeah that would be a real smart move.

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?

Gephard is retiring, so the super eagle is probably no longer viable.

The F-35 is going to have to pull part of the F-15's duty even if Lockheed
pulls of a miracale, as the 160 F-22 aircraft are not enough to replace the
F-15.
