Thank you, that's clearer.
I think the F-35 program is amazing; one air platform that will serve , what - three, four functions, plus Great Britain's fighter needs?
What I like about the F-22 is that even though it is a fighter, it's really not a
fair fighter.
It's so stealthy that it will detect enemy fighters, lock on and fire weapons before the other fighter even knows it's there.
