f22 raptor spare parts: are they now available?

Posted on 09/09/2020 9:11:18 PM PDT by topher

I thought at one time that the F22 Raptor was 'history' thanks our 'criminal' president Bill Clinton. I saw that there is a source for spare parts (under Trump).

Having 'multiple platforms' means that our enemies must defend against multiple platforms.

Can someone comment on the F22 situation? (without revealing Classified Info)

It was the Kenyanesian Usurper who killed the F-22

Got any of those?

I’m almost done with one in the backyard.

Now I just have to roll it to the gas station.

“how much sir?”

“2,400 gallons and do you take coins?”

He just did the bidding of Lockheed. They killed their own airplane to save the F-35, a more profitable project than the F-22.

I would like to live long enough to see Lockheed die an ugly death.

I think you can get a kit to retrofit it to a Chevy 350 c.i. small block.

I hope so. I missed the Kickstarter for the F-22 Raptor and the late-pledge, too.

I keep watching the insurance pool for a wrecked Raptor or 5.0 Mustang to restomod my antique truck. That’s where I plan to get my spare parts.

Sure - but one titanium screw costs $110 million dollars. :)

My guess is that the F-22 was killed on purpose as something better was on the drawing board (not the f35) in Area 51.

Yes, part are available.

No, you can’t build your own from them.

Just so everyone knows: Area 51 is a chunk of airspace over the base called Groom Lake.
