Nice to imagine but I think the F-22 scenario is highly unlikely considering
the number budgeted to be built and the USAF policy to use old and somewhat
superfluous airframes for the Thunderbirds. I would think that F-15
airframes have a better chance but even that doesn't make much sense. F-35's
on the otherhand, are more likely albeit decades from now.
