Longish, but highly informative article on what is going on in Fighter aircraft acquisition.

The short version is that the US is no longer building any fighters.

The F-22 is stopped, the F35 (in all it's various forms) is delayed.

The Navy at least still have F18 super Hornets still coming off the line.  The F18 is not a "true" air superiority fighter of course, but it will at least hold it's own for a while.

Oh no, how ever will we be able to compete with Al-Qaeda's top of the line airforce now?

Oh wait.

I heard Bin Laden himself ordered a whole fleet of these modern aircrafts.



Rumor has it that they will use goat manure instead of kerosene.
