Oooooh, they have MIG-29s on special!

F22 is an impressive bird. I read somewhere that on average, an F22 can take out 5 F15s. Too bad it will probably never participate in a dogfight.

Very Cool fighter. Caught a special on that a few nights ago on the military channel.

They put up five F22 pilots flying F15s against one F22 pilot flying the F22 in a fight simulation. The F22 plan nocked out all Five F15s. Most of the pilots flying the f15s said it was very un-nerving, also said they never really saw the f22. All were glad that there normal ride was the new plan.

Ask an F22 pilot what his dream job is and he'll tell you "second officer on a Boeing 727. For Fedex...

Go ahead- guess why?

i see them doing test flights all the time here with an f-16 chase plane. I was surprised on how big it actually is.

Another example of preparing to fight the "last war".

A F-22 will be real useful against one of these:

Surely you realize that the F-22 is designed to deal with a different type of threat? However, used properly it can lower the motivation of the enemy to use one of those.
