Do you like jets?
A friend of mine sent these to me, thought I'd share. The plane is an FA-22 Raptor.
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Boing!!!!
Schawinngggg!
I thought the U.S. scrapped the Raptor program in the military budget cuts? Good to see the ones that are built are getting used.
Jets are gay. Blimps are where it's at!

OMG, it's a UFO!!! Nope... Just our boys kickin' butt!! I love jets, though I'm particular to whirly birds.

Here's all the details, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockhee...and_production
The short story is the battle was over to produce an additional 4 to 12 aircraft; DefSec Gates and JCOS members preferred funding up the newer multi-role multi-service F-35. The US has/will produce 187 F-22 Raptors.
H.
... which is ridiculous - considering that F-35 overrun cost has put F-35 price tag above F-22 fly out price.
The production line is supposed to run until 2012 - hopefully we'll have new POTUS with some brain then.
