I love this quote of his, when he was asked what the most impressive thing about the F-22 Raptor was, he basically said: “Completely dominating a battle space from 60,000 feet.”

    The United States acquired air superiority sometime in mid 1944 and has not relinquished it since…anywhere. Against anyone.

    The Raptor carries on in a long tradition.

    When they were first testing the operational F-22s, they pitted it against an F-15, a plane that has never lost an air combat.

    The F-22 scored the ‘kill’ before the F-15 even knew the Raptor was there.

    They put the Raptor up against 2 Eagles; same result.

    Then 6, then 8. I believe they stopped at 10 Eagles.

    The Raptor is the only aircraft that has been able to defeat the F-15 and it has done so while significantly outnumbered…repeatedly.

    The F-15 is impressive. The F-22 is phenomenal!

    Our nations finest, are in the military, no doubt about it.

    Wait til’ B-Ho sell the technology to China & the fomer Soviets. Like Madeline Albright stated, I paraphrase; “the US can’t be the ONLY superpower on earth.” emphasis mine.

    such high tech equipment. That is scary….
