And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
They're cool, and they fit well with the mission of a small deck carrier/LHA, which is why so many air forces and navies around the world want them. They are VERY expensive to buy and fly, though. The F-22's have very heavy maintenance loads and if you need two in the air, you should have four on the ground. I'm concerned that the F-35 will have the same metric.
They say she's the last manned fighter jet.
