If so, then the modern USAF pilots have gotten pretty wimpy. They’d wet themselves at the thought of an F-104...

Yesterday, it was how the F-35 is a terrible platform. Now, its the F-22. What the heck has happened to manned military aviation?

That's like when we switched from Hueys to Blackhawks in the Army. I don't recall a single flight where I didn't have a caution or warning light come on or some sort of a problem with the damn things. Almost every single flight ended in a precautionary landing. Had a few electrical fires in flight as well. That's why I jumped at the opportunity to fly the boring Army fixed wing missions the second a slot opened up.

A beautiful, flowing design. When I see an F-22, it reminds me of this:

Is that bondo or strips of duct tape on top of that jet?

It’s so expensive, they will get in career-ending trouble for ejecting if there is a problem.

That picture was taken over the Sierra Nevada of California, just south west of the town of Big Pine. Boundary Peak 13,147’ (highest mountainin Nevada) and 14,282’ White Mountain Peak in California can be seen in the distance across the Owens Valley.

Not a whole lot of info out there on how the onboard system works and why the F22 might be different.
This is the best I've found so far. It is from a F35 special interest forum http://www.f-16.net/f-16_forum_viewtopic-t-15547.html and is worth reading. Has a fair number of links also.
