I was going to say the same exact thing! there are only about 180 (+/-) operational (flyable) F22s in the entire inventory. Of those only about 120 ++ are combat coded.

If these 32 are combat coded ones it means more than 1/4 of all USAF's F22s are in Japan!

Exactly, that whole scenario kinda took my breath away, but in view of NK
's satellite launch, I fully understand.

I'd have to guess "Fourth of July II", I'm sure I have already given away that the F-22 is the only "true alien bird", I don't think it sounds like the "alleged 6 gen" will come through with that kind of mojo.

You are from McDonnell Aircraft Co country, you should understand the level of commitment and "magic or mojo" the F-22 has been heir to??? So have did you get that crotch rocket out this past weekend, how about this KOLD weather?
