Yeah Izzy, give me a Lightning (english one) or a Vulcan any day.
Ivan, I just noticed you say the J-10 is a development of the 1-42, but its actually a developed IAI Lavi (Israelis have admitted they sold them the design)... a little comparison...

I actually thought about the USAF buying their competitors\' planes and just using it but then it just would be made in the USA. I think they should buy them, and improve them by putting in the F22 materials and the external shape to mostly dissappear on radar, and thrust vectoring so they can out-do anyone for a long while. Or they could just incorporate their features in the F22.
