Not really, and this is the problem with this country. Let's try to think further than 5 minutes into the future.
Sure, March 1, 2013 manned aircraft are superior.
We aren't at war right now.
The F15 is doing a fine job right now.
The nature of war itself is changing.
Technology is changing the way in which the U.S. wages war.
Logically and cost effectively, the combination of F15s and putting money into further developing drones is the right way to go.
Or you can blow our tax dollars on a plane that will be obsolete. Sure, they're really cool, imagining all the dogfights they'll be in, shooting down our enemies.
That's awesome! So much better than a guy sitting in a room in Virginia with a control board and some joysticks. Certainly worth the expense for a plane we don't need. You will be entertained!
Who is the enemy they are designed for, and when?
Wasting tax dollars is fun, isn't it.
