Although,I do agree. They thought the Raptor program was expensive. JSF is the most expensive defense program ever. And still having issues.

Boeing does have interest in the F-22. Boeing did team with Lockheed Martin to design and build the F-22 Raptor for the U.S. Air Force. And is also under contract to develop and implement the overall F-22 training system.

Exactly. And, for a fighter, the Raptor had way better capabilities.

Supposed to be cheaper because it does everything. Too bad it doesn't do one thing really well.

IIRC,it is supposed to replace 4-5 different fighters. One being the A-10. Not possible. The A-10 is a (almost) bullet proof tank with wings wrapped around a 30mm gun. The tightest turning radius of any military jet.

Love the A-10. Thing turns inside a football field. Hard to outdo that for tank killing.
