Why not use the F-22 to replace the F/A-18 and F-14?

They are planning to bring the FB-22 (bomber
version that carries 30 2000 lbs bombs) online in the future. Actually, those are 250 lb bombs - 30 mk 84s would be quite a load for a fighter! I doubt we will ever see the FB-22 in service though. Brian |

Yes, but when the SDB comes on board, it will carry about 150. |

Doolittle would like it. Anyone want to photoshop a prototype up?

One wonders where the UN refugee agencies, NGOs and for that matter many countries' militaries would be without Il-76s and An-124s to rent. Air cargo has been growing far faster than pax recently, and a certain % of that is oversize/outsize. Guy |

The C-17 line does not need more work right now. |

With Long Beach's antics of last year, the name Douglas will never be on another civilian airplane. |
