well as do airplanes... well these waves have something to do w/ the boom... but I can't figure exactly how

By the time you enter service... F-15s' and F-16's may be extinct. I know the F18 and A-10 is gonna be gone around 2010 - 2012, F35 A/B/C 's and F-22's are taking everything over

Won't even be a need for the 15 once the Airforce gets the F-35a and F-35B. They also get the F-22A so basically say bu-bye to all of our current great fighter jets.

the 15's and 16's will be around for awhile. we arent going to have all the 35's for atleast 10 years.even after that there will still be the need for 16's and 15's. the 22 cant hold the payload of the f-15E. they have been sayin for years that they were going to do away with the BUFF, and its still here and it plays a pretty big role. im not worried about the 15 or 16 still being around when i get my chance in about 4 years

im not sure what airline he's going with yet, but i know he said he had something lined up. he's 23 and an instructor for delta connections right now. good luck with the AF (not saying you'll need it, just wishing good luck).
