. It's just awesome to go for a 2.0-2.5 of BFM/ACM
You get a tanker to support your BFM sorties!?

Are they considering bringing back the F-22 for the USAF? What do our resident pointy nose types think of this?
In Fantasyland they are, not realistic for a whole slew of reasons but this biggest one being money.
Interesting enough though they actually did more to ensure they could restart the production line for the F-22 than any other modern aircraft I am aware of, preserving the manufacturing equipment and even going so far as filming the workers making them.
You're accusing the Air Force, of all services, of being parochial? I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you!For a two star (when service parochialism is supposed to have been washed away in a sea of purple), this article is incredibly short sighted.
For a two star (when service parochialism is supposed to have been washed away in a sea of purple), this article is incredibly short sighted. If only our nation had a Navy.... If the land bases and the ships are accepted to both be under an umbrella of threats, then I'd much rather be on the one that moves...
Valid. I projected a general disregard for anything not AF upon this general based on the tradition of his brothers in blueWhile I agree with the general principle of what you say, due to the specific geography of the Baltic Sea, I wonder if the naval option was discounted out of concern for putting a CSG in such confined waters against a nation with probably the toughest threat subs and AShMs out there.
Retiring the A-10 in the midst of a massive counterinsurgency? Check.
I could go on.
Wouldn't be such an issue if we bought the A-29 when we should have. Thank that one to our legal system tying up the decision to buy it in court for 7 years.
You'd have to know what type of flight hour cost they're using to start to figure out what's driving the delta.Interesting. Any idea why the Eagle is so much higher than the Strike Eagle? Possibly higher average airframe age on the Charlies?
