There are reports that Lockheed actually did dump the files and deliberately destroy the tooling prematurely to stop any reinstatement of the F-22 line over that of the F-35.

Sickening.

Really amazing argument Tyler!

One thing I think you could have touched on is the pure ‘attrition-factor’ or possible *V-22 (AEW, COD, Refueller) deployments that could truly keep America one step ahead of the rest for cheaper.
