Carlo Kopp is one of the most vocal proponents of the Aussies buying Raptor-The best way to do that is to ratchet up the threat of Russian Flankers & rubbish the SuperHornets & Lightnings.One of his suggestions is to buy F-22s for air superiority & keep the F-111s going till about 2020,when the Strike variant of the Raptor appears.
