Thanks for the link. F-22 is quite impressive. Too bad the politicians are so short sighted.

I suppose it's because of the variants including the vertical takeoff and landing version that the Marine Corps is getting, possible to replace the Harrier. But then again, the F-111 (McNamara's folly) was suppose to meet the needs of all the services but it didn't. Incidentally, McNamara's middle name was "Strange" which may account for the folly.
