Not meaning to argue, but ive always wondered about the validity of it's "need". The state of conflicts these days are primarly low intensity conflicts. Insurgents, terrorts, or village goat pokers don't exactly have a radar network to defeat. Most technological advances wont do us much good in those scenerio's. I honestly don't see the need Unless we go to war with North Korea or china.
Now that said, i really do miss the SR-71 :rotfl: Seeing that plane hit the mothballs pained me, but the case for retiring that one was far more clear cut.
