...F-22 are still not yet being mass produced, but they will be.
[/font][/quote] I just want to point out that about half of the planned F22 Raptor fleet has been produced and is in active service. My old Squadron, the 43TFS, which flew F4E Phantoms when I served, was reactivated in 2002 as the first F22 Squadron, based at Tyndall AFB, Florida. "On Oct. 25, 2002, The 43rd Fighter Squadron was reactivated with a new mission and a new aircraft. Assigned to the 325th Fighter Wing, Air Education and Training Command, Tyndall AFB, Fla., the 43rd FS is the first squadron to provide air dominance training for Air Force pilots in the F-22 Raptor. The "Hornets," along with three F-15 fighter squadrons, provide air dominance training at Tyndall AFB."

There was a great episode on Dogfights last night about the F-22. I noticed that some of the test pilots who were talking about the F-22 were also in the process of testing the F-35. Do you know anything about that bird?

I watched a program on History Channel and they showed the Space ship and the x-rays (or whatever) of the inside. They said they couldn't open it yet cause the interior atmosphere was toxic to us and they didn't known how to neutralize it, yet. This was, of course, after they moved the facility to another secret location. Anyway, it was VERY interesting to watch. If I see it on again I will let you know, by pm or something.

I have heard so much about area 51 that I went to see what it looked like last summer. There isn't much to see except for the Little Alie-Inn, a small bar/restarant, in Rachael ,Nevada which is right on the highway that goes by Area 51. The country arouhd there is just forbidding. There is so much nothingness. We drove for hours at a time without seeing another vehicle. Because I'm kind of a UFO buff, I wanted to see it but have no reason to ever go back.
