@clericboy289 I agree but being in the military there are many other assets we need to be spending money on. The F-22 wouldn't even serve a practical role in our current war in Afghanistan. Other aircraft's such as the F-15E and the A-10C do more than enough considering our current enemies have no functioning air force. I personally would say to hold of on them for a bit until money become more abundant and we definitely do have operation F-22 squadrons in Florida and other places.

@wolf1010 MAny people are panicking too much. Our economy is capable of purchasing WAY more F-22's. But, Obama makes it look like we don't have enough money so people resist necessary military assets. We've gone through WAY worse than this and were still able to create a war machine that fought and won on two fronts.

@bedlambikes they are give or take 200 million dollars for one. The F-15 is about 8 times cheaper and until the F-35 rolls out, the F-15 will be sufficient to maintain air superiority. I love the 22 more than anything but that's expensive.

roommate is heading there for avionics on the F-22. Lucky bastard. I got stuck with A-10s in AZ lol. It's okay A10s are still amazing.

The after the dickhead got in office, he cut the F22 program.
