I can't see the F-22 phasing out the F-15 anytime soon. England just got some new (2002's I think) E models so if they are still building them I can't see them going away anytime soon.
What is your plans? pilot....maintenance.....what? Just curious.

Pilot. My dads a pilot. my bro just got a pilot slot, hes going to UPT in Pensacola on the 12th of this month. but ya i think your right about the 15 being around for awhile. i think it will take awhile to get all the 22's in. but if i had my choice with the 15 i would want to fly the "slick" or the one seater. but then again the E is the newest also it would be a little more fun with a nav in the back seat ( Maverick and Goose style, lol). but ya im definitely going for a pilot slot out of ROTC
