  4. F-22 is an awesome plane - and what we will need to fight Iran when they pull out their airforce.

    Let’s just make 1000 of them, sell 500 to Israel and charge them double (and they will pay it). See - zero budget airforce.

  5. If you get to the Air Force museum in Dayton, OH you can see one pretty close. As well as the B1, B2, B-29 (Bock’s Car of all planes), and even a B-36 that makes them all look puny. Highly recommended if you are ever in the area.

  7. Yep, it’s a Wright Pat and the new-ish building is impressive, especially compared to the way it used to be with most things sitting out on the tarmac (although I do miss the XB70). It’s an impressive building that can hold a MinutemanII as a display.
