Airshow Addendum

Admittedly, this is a truly Big Boy Toy kind of post. It's mostly just weapon-pr0n, but you know what, if you can't find that here, then man, I don't want to be seen here anymore.
Bear with me. Seed's HTML kung-fu (as well as his actual "kung-fu" AKA tae-kwon do) is light years beyond mine. You'll have to get by with pop-ups.
From an operational report (all open-sourced!!! and horrific abuse of apostrophes are part of the original):
In Actual In-flight (simulated) Combat Operations against the F-15, two
F/A-22's were able to operate without detection while it went Head to Head
against (8) F-15's. The F/A-22's scored Missile Hits (Kills) against all
the F-15 Aircraft and the F/A-22's were never Detected by either the F-15's
or Ground Based Radar.
Comments
Those are fantastic shots. Does anybody else think they should have completley chromed the thing out? Like when you pull around a chromed liquid semi trailer on a sunny day and you cannot see a goddam thing - yeah, it should'a looked like that.
And in response to you last comment regarding the need for the plane. Isn't that more a result of this thing being initiated nearly twenty years ago, when the need seemed more apparent? It'd be a damned shame to spend, what was it? -$400b, on a project of that size to find out that there's nobody to play with.

China wants to play with everyone.... it's just a matter of the game, and whose yard.
