Say goodbye to the Wobbly Goblin. April 22 will be it's last flight.

Air Force's stealth fighters making final flights - CNN.com

It was neat when it was new, but we're talking about a true example of a "one trick pony." The F-22 is so far superior in every way that it just makes complete sense to retire the -117. Especially when you consider the new F-35 that will be flying along side the F-22 as the replacement for the aging F-16, the F-117 definitely becomes a relic.

Besides:

This?


Or this?


I choose the latter just on the ass-kicking looks factor alone.

Unless I am mistaken, I was at the air show when both the f117 and b2 were revealed. Right? I was 9 at the time, so my memory on this is a bit hazy.


I saw a special on discoveryHD showcasing the f35, and all I can say is that it made me wet my pants.

Thanks for the memories!

It's so ugly, it's a classic in its own way. And it certainly did it's duty in the Gulf War.

So which plane takes on the role of air-superiority fighter such as f-15?

It is all about super cruise. I was shocked when I found out that they are putting it on the shelves. The life span was so short, but when something is put down there is a better piece of equipment ready to replace it. I think that they should bring back the Tom Cat, at least for the Mira Mar Airshow.

We must get one or two at Burbank Airport, next to where they were built at the Lockheed Skunkworks.
