[simpits-tech] F-15SE

[Joseph Fagner]

I got a buddy that works for LM on the F22 and he said the current order is 80 some units and after that they are done and detooling.  Said there would be no more after that due to the cost to restart production. All future plane will be a variation of the JSF and remotely flown airplanes.  We may very well be seeing some of the last manned stuff being designed.

Had they not screwed with the original purchase order, the price each 
wouln't be so bad, but they kept hacking at the quantity and driving up 
the cost.
