@NovaTopaz alright, literally the last time I use wikipedia 😅
@RedHawk Yes, the F-22. The problem is, the F-16 is a multirole, to be replaced by the F-35, which isn't into mass production yet, and there is hardly any F-35's ready for service. On the fighter side of things, the F-22 was the replacement of the F-15. The F-22 production was halted early, though, so both the F-15 and F-16, as well as the F/A-18, are having to have service life extensions to wait out the length of the F-35 production before being retired for good. So, 'technically', the 4th gen fighters are still the primary fighters because the F-22 was produced in far too low quantities, and the F-35 isn't going to make it to mass production in a while.
@Allstar true, it what I meant was it's another fighter has taken its place, while they are still used like @NovaTopaz said.
Define "primary fighter." Depending on how you define it, I believe that that statement is debatable@RedHawk
@bjac0 I saw that right after I uploaded 😐
@NovaTopaz well that's the last time ill ever use wikipedia XD, no yeah I know some squads use it but it's no longer the primary fighter of the airforce
Actually, the US still uses the F-16
Why is there an extra wheel not on teh jet? >.<
