Some spectacular equipment.. and all for sale. Exactly why we should be expanding our capabilities and #'s rather than multi-role/fewer numbers.

That and the fact that there would be no way to mass produce huge numbers of F-22s in event of a major war. Then again, we do need something that can knife fight with the Su-27. I see it both ways....

Those are great photos!
I thought the M-55 was long gone. Thanks for showing at least one of them is still flying.

I think the idea is to fight with an Su-27 with an AIM-120 long range... we all know how that's worked out in the past though.

As far as #'s in the event WWIII were to break out that's what the stash at Davis Monthan is for and why you can't send them anything less than a 100% up jet for storage.

Are you aware that the wall came down in Berlin a few years ago? WWIII's a bit of a stretch.:uzi:

You don't pay attention much... there are other countries out there that could stir things up that are flying front line Russian equip.
