The F-22 Raptor & It's Future

Word for the Day is "Astonishment " did you know that the F-22 Raptor, costs $49,000 an hour to fly.  And one F-22 costs $420 million, the US has 187 of them (minus those that have crashed) a total of $79 Billion to the US Taxpayers...F-22 was designed to be futuristic defense against a Russian Fighter Plane that was never built.

Sen. John McCain, when asked what is to become of the F-22, the F-22 has not flown a Combat Mission in Afghanistan or Iraq, no purpose for the F-22, unless you believe that the Al-Qaeda will have a fleet of aircraft, there are plenty of Air Shows in America...and so be it...the F-22 now appears at Air Shows.
