The AF Times reported they are going to stand up a few more 22 squadrons while standing down several F-15 squads. The bulk of them are making room for the new 35s....if/when that ever comes around.
Anywho, the need for a superior air to air fighter will always be needed, there really hasn't been a need for one in a quite some time. Although the 22 can do Air to ground as well, the 35 will take the charge in the area.
We also need more c17s, could have used the new C-27, and upgrades on all C5s, not just the B models. So if yall have some spare change....
