So the JSF is going to pick up the slack? More F-16's? Upgraded F-15C's or F-18E's? The USAF surely cannot go from 750 F-15C's to 200 F-22's?!

And as long as we're writing checks, can we get about another 100 B-2's?

I was just reading in AvWeek where they completed the first B-2 upgrade where with the new bombrack allows for 80 500lbs GBU-38 smart bombs. If Bush succeeds in removing half the BUFF fleet, where else are going to get bombers from save from cutting a bomb-bay in a 747 a la the P-8A/737 conversion?!
