"Henry J Cobb" wrote in message ... http://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-43...dlines-topnews The long-awaited F/A-22 Raptor fighter jets will not arrive at Langley Air Force Base until next May -about five months later than previously planned. Has any other aircraft program ever been delayed this much and still gotten full scale production? -HJC What makes you believe 'full scale production'? What is being planned now is but a fraction of the original 'full scale'. And at almost $200 million a piece! But at least this aircraft lives up to its name "Raptor"- a dinosaur... which should get Congressional extinction! By the time full production is achieved the aircraft won't amount to any significant number, not being able to replace the F-15 by any means. Rob Tex
