They said all that crap to stop building them Shaun. The F22 is by far the best aircraft in the sky. I remember talking to a pilot of one and he was talking about in red flag a group of 2 raptors could take on 6 F18s easy. Instead they want the JSF because of money.

The F-22 has yet to be 'killed' in a Red Flag engagement.. in most cases the other aircraft never even know they're there until they're dead.
