... until recently I too was of the opinion that the F/A-22 would have to be a non-player, until that is I noticed that Okinawa, where we *already* have basing rights, is within range for the F/A-22. Guess you missed that one, huh? Okinawa is history. I'd say in less than 10 years, we will be gone. The giant F-16 clone (F-2 ??) will probably be based there with nationals. Besides, the ZZ on the tail was won through cowardice during the Korean war. There hasn't been a General yet that would let the Wing change the letters.
