Odgledajte, ko razume i ima vremena, vredi! Koliko u stvari ne znamo sta se, i kako, stvarno dogadja iza
zavese kod velikih progrma, i koliko pojedini ljudi imaju uticaj na tok programa, a samim tim i na krajnji rezultat...
App ovog gosp. Lt. Col. Ryan Pelkola sto je nakupio 2000h na f22 oni ih stvarno gaze do daske I rabe. To sam skontao jos 2007 kad sam ih prvi put video na Aljasci kod Delta Junctions kako ih gaze za sve pare.
Izvestaj iz 2010. o tome kako su amerikanci razmatrali produzetak proizvodnje F-22 (ili ponovno pokretanje), te sta je bilo potrebno promeniti na avionu, kako bi mogao da ide u izvoz (na zahtev Japana):

Osnovna promena bio je radar - morali bi da stave onaj sa F-35.
Da su nastavili proizvodnju 2011. nakon izlaska poslednjeg primerka za USAF, avion bi kostao 165M USD (kolicina od 40 aviona, koliko je trazio Japan), odnosno oko 184M USD u danasnjim parama, sa inflacijom.
Kako su proizvodnju prekinuli, kasnija ponovna proizvodnja i vracanje masina u hale nakon 2 godine pauze poskupeli bi svaki novoproizvedeni primerak F-22 na celih 232,5M USD, tj. neverovatnih 259M USD u danasnjim parama.
Nova modernizacija
