Shouldn't the purchase of the F/A-22s wait until they have been tested?

I mean Lockheed built DG's entry in the design competition.

Backpedaling again.

Nope.

USAF was so hot to let a fighter contract to Lockheed that they seleced a
design that could not even fly.

You're still telling us that the F-22 isn't flying.

Best way to tell you've lost. Sixth-grade insults.

Does it upset you that I can post on your level, Irby?

Explain how the airforce wanting the aircraft is "pork".

Any airframe that Tarver can't make any money off of is, apparently,
evil.

For once you have a good point but honestly I think it had more to do
with they knew Lockheed and Northrop could deliver stealth. GD's
didn't appear to be particularly stealthy with that huge vertical tail
and Boeing. . .well, was Boeing. If they'd wanted Pork I'd think
they'd have chosen GD's design and built theirs in Texas. Bush senior
was VP at the time of the down-selecting to two designs. However you
boil it down though why would the USAF be hot to buy from Lockheed
over the tried and proven McDonnell Douglas team?

We'll let you know if you ever manage to.

On the other hand, we're still waiting for those strake photos.

Or references on mud bees in pitot tubes.

Or the name of someone who got arrested for taking photos of F-22s.

Or, well, *anything* to back up the stuff you post.

And we get to add "F-22s can't fly" and "Lockheed-Martin sold all of
their avionics businesses" to the ever-growing list of Tarverisms.

It is difficult for me, but your childishness is a special case.

GD had the Ft Worth line.
Northrop had the B-2.
McDonnell had the F-15 and the F-18.

The Military Industrial complex needed another player.

GD already had a fighter in production.

See above.
