Gates said we're not going to get any more of them, although we're obviously keeping the ones we have.

Some folks in Congress are trying to get some more built as pork barrel spending for their districts.

Subman you do realiese that Carlo Kopp and whatever he writes is much derided in the aviation analyst world. You should go to defense net and see what some aussies who work in defence think of him.

Kopp is an uber fanboy of the F-22 and that article was written in 1998.

I'm not saying the F-22 isn't the best fighter on the planet at this point in time, however drawing conclusions from a mobile phone salesman isn't what I'd do.

OK teh guys isn't a mobile phones salesman and has a PhD in telecommunicatiosn which from what I can gather he does very well at. Analysing aviation and military at that he is revieled and ridiculed.

I was going to say all it will take is front line hackers to crack the software and install a virus to make the plane do something stupid... like crash or something...

Stupid that they are. The F-35, though the second most capable aircraft in the world now, is not going to have the same length of life the F-22 will have. Its just a second rate frame comparatively.

Just talked with a friend who is an F-16 pilot. He just told me how he got his ass kicked by F-22's in training.
