One thing folks sometime overlook is that when we go to battle we assume that we will have superiority in the air. It has been that way for some time now, and our battle plans assume air superiority will be there. To keep that edge we will have to continue updating our force. Whether the F-22 or F-35 I don't know -- except that one is a bird in the hand, the other is somewhere out there in the bushes.

The other thing that bothers me is that some retired General was on the boob tube the other night and he made this statement: "If the F-22 goes head-to head with the F-35 100 times, the F-22 will win 100 times, without a doubt." That is a pretty strong statement, and makes me wonder why we are developing an aircraft that is not as capable as one that we already have.
