What we know about the f-22 is that they are the stealthiest air craft in the sky. They have bidirectional engines (believe me, when these things take to the sky you notice), and they have a "see first, shoot first" emphasis. Their goal is to take you out first. It uses the latest technologies to achieve these things. I believe it has a smaller cannon, but my guess is you do NOT want to be on the recieving end of that thing (probably HUD controlled). It's ready to deliver the most advanced AMRAAMS.

They don’t have “bidirectional engines” they have thrust vectoring. That isn’t the same as reversing the thrust along the axial axis of the engine.

Have you read that the AF wants to retire 33 of the Tyndall F-22s now temporarily at Eglin? When my dad came back from Korea late in 1951, we went to Tyndall for about four years. I climbed up in a pine tree in the yard and watched all different kinds of planes land, and knew right then what I wanted to do when I grew up. I don't think I even understood what my dad being a pilot meant until then. Anyway, it didn't work out; I grew up extremely nearsighted. My next plan was the AF Academy and maybe the opportunity to work on the next generations of planes; that didn't work out either because the AF decided the year I would have entered to only accept guys who could fly. I've always been interested in fighters and their development, and I think the AF made a big mistake on the Academy - they had a perfect opportunity to "integrate" pilots with the AF Systems Command so the guys designing would be in tune with those having flying experience. Like race cars, drivers know what a car should do, but they don't generally make good designers - different mentalities, but the two have to know how to talk to each other in meaningful ways. My brother and I have some interesting discussions - I learn stuff about planes from him and he sometimes gets explanations from me.

Thanks for letting the people hear about these lies! By the way, I read that Twitter page and it is like reading the National Enquirer for Communist nations. Full of anti American, anti European kooks. I used to give you the benefit of the doubt and admired your commitment but you are an absolute nut job who is either anti American or simply crazy.

What sovereign country are we currently invading and what war crimes are we currently committing?
