    I have the same thoughts every time I see a Mig at an airshow. At Planes of Fame show they have a Mig 15 and F-86 follow each other through the sky.

    The USAF wants to retire some (all?) of the B-1B’s. They are expensive to maintain, and the F-35 is draining their budget.

    Ukraine is the main flash point for a European war.
