We currently only have 27 F-22's in service. It is intended to carry us through most of the 21st century.

I saw two of them one day while driving in the mountains. (lockwood valley) they came over at tree top level, very quiet. just cruised over very slow, then followed the valley off around the bend. it was amazing. -bmb
