In addition to the F-22 standing out as an example of this problem, we

This is normal. When we build new planes, and create new systems, older
planes get upgrades from the lessons learned on the new ones.


I absolutley agree, the only difference being the F22 isn't yet in
service, and its avionics are already in need of a major overhaul,
something the program doesn't need to be highlighted while under its
present scrutiny.
