I'm sure Obama and sequester had something to do with elimination of wing men...
You know, anything to put our country and personnel at risk.

Now wait just a minute. We send in a drone to keep a human safe but when it gets into a fight, we send in the humans to save it. Common sense out the window.

I was thinking the same thing, normal to launch two aircraft.

The F22 flew under the Iranians without them knowing, checked their weapons, then came up on their left wing and told them to get lost. LOL, I’d like to have seen their faces.

Yes...I was struck by that too. Perhaps he graded out so well as a super zoomie that they decided to put him in the cockpit.

"This is the guy that warned them off," he said. "He flew under their aircraft to check out their weapons load without them knowing that he was there, and then pulled up on their left wing and then called them and said you really ought to go home.'" hilarious
would definitely love to hear the other side of this story
