Considering an F-22 defeated 7 of them in under 5 minutes...

Thank you. For some reason I thought I was in that thread. Deleted.

Indeed it did. Infact it did so well, with a little update to avionics, computers and sensors you might have a ready made 6th Generation fighter right there. At the very least Generation 5.5.

Wow, I had no idea it was that heavy.

Yeah. Some of the concept art I've seen of it is quite beautiful. Though I'm almost certain isn't what it would have actually looked like.

The F-22 is just awesome all around. I firmly stand by this. Its a much better plan the Hornet can be.

Yeah, given that I wasn't aware how bad and this emphasizes how bad, I amend my statement. Still, a non stealth naval F-22 would have been better than the Super Hornet IMO.

I was aware of some problems which would force Naval squadrons to rotate out for ground side maintenance but since they did that anyway, I just figured it would have been an additional maintenance duty they would have performed once they were shoreside.

in all honesty the Super Hornet never should have happened. The F-22 should have become the Navy's premier fighter while the Air Force went with the F-23 as its primary air dominance fighter. F-22s, F-23s and F-35s, all 5th Generation platforms, would now be our mainstay to usher us into the...

What the hell is that!?
