Senators press Gates to buy more Super Hornets

I don't blame him.

I mean what on earth is able to hang with a super hornet?

I never got the F22 JSF program myself don't get me wrong it's a better fighter but the cost and, I kinda don't see a reason, then again armchair leaders always have hind sight on their side.

I see the super hornet as a great plane for what it is and out classing any thing in the world, for a lot less then a F22.
