With every new technology THEY create we will create something better or something that can atleast put a fight up against it. We will always be challenged and we may lose the air superiority challenge someday. American engineers have always proven to be inovative and very good at what they do. Beside im a big fan of nessesatiy, we have not trully needed have anything better than the f-22 or f-35 since well honeslty the fall of the USSR.

Could be partially true but sounds like theres gonna be a bid for more money to research long range fighters

Nothing lasts forever, eventually we will lose a lot more.

F-22 is amazing. I want to fly one........ Bad.

Should go back to P51D's.

While obviously the arms race never ends and it will always be a game of leap frog, the US has dominated aviation since just after WWII, I would say they have dominated it since the wright brothers, and the P51 and Lightning(don't forget the British mosquito..a wood plane those britts) you just cant say enough about how great of planes those are, but the Germans leap frogged everyone by deploying the ME262 they were just retards and tried using it as a bomber instead of the obvious fighter it was(good thing too or we'd all be speaking German now)

Ahh yes K12azy13astard

The current notion of US Air power has gone more towards UAV, rather than manned Air-to-Ground support. In the countries what we currently operate in, there is no air threat to be considered about. Will we see UAV Air-to-Air in the next ten years?
