Why did they stop making them?

Nope, most pilots will continue to train in something inexpensive and
transition to something else later.


I was thinking mainly of people training for piloting as a career, where
financial limitations are less of a factor.

Do you think the Air Force is going to do primary training in F-22's and
scrap all the trainers?


For transport pilots, I don't think they will use F-22s at all.

This is never going to happen. Keep deluding yourself.


Wait and see. It will happen first in the Third World.

Yeah, for a type rating for a similar airplane.


That wasn't possible before, and now it is. More changes along these lines
will occur in the future.
