When was the last time an adversary seriously challenged our Air Superiority?

Korea?.. The first year?

I still can't fathom the justification for a fighter aircraft where each one costs almost a third of a BILLION dollars.

A third of a billion dollars and a lost duck in the wrong place can bring it down.

Not even a 100% cost overrun. No big deal
