34 Retired F-22 Trainers Can Be Upgraded To A Combat Configuration

An F-22A raptor like this one has completed its final assembly in the Lockheed Martin plant in Marietta, Ga., and is the first combat-capable fighter destined for basing and operations in the Pacific. This particular F-22A is in service at the 27th Fighter Squadron at Langley Air Force Base, Va. (The first squadron to receive the F-22A.) Photographer : U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.

WNU Editor: A few days ago I posted an article that 100 F-35s may be retired .... The Pentagon May Retire 100 F-35s Because It Would Be Too Expensive To Upgrade Them (September 26, 2017). But in that post I also learned that 3 dozen F-22s were retired for the same reason .... and I started to wonder on how much would it cost to upgrade these fighters. Now we know .... Air Force weighs cost to upgrade 34 F-22 trainers to combat configuration (Inside Defense).

    Yeah but the learning article is dated before the other. Seems you could have just had the learning effect earlier if you chose to do so ;-)
