WASHINGTON - The success of the Indian air force against American
fighter planes in a recent exercise suggests other countries may soon
be able to threaten U.S. military dominance of the skies, a top Air
Force general said Wednesday.

"We may not be as far ahead of the rest of the world as we thought we
were," said Gen. Hal M. Hornburg, the chief of Air Combat Command,
which oversees U.S. fighter and bomber wings.

I'd say the same thing if I wanted the Raptor and the Jayesseff funded.
