Well with the F-22 and F-35 coming in, the USAF is retiring the F-117 Stealth Fighter. We can now add it to the out of service war birds....

The F-35 is being 'fast tracked to deployment' over a planned 140 months, don't hurry any now L/M. And it'll only cost around $1 TRILLION over the life of the contract and thats before L/M starts adding $9000.00 toilet seats and anti wing flapping software and all the other things Lockweed 'forgets' to add into the initial bid for whatever they are bidding to get. :x
It only took about 15 years to get the friggin' F-22 numbers built above three or so-then your government decides to order aircraft in groups of two and three per contract to 'keep the lines running' and keep the price per unit artificially high fo' mo' profit- :roll:
