This might not be the most revelatory piece in the world, but it does lay out another reason to question the incredible sums that we are spending to enlarge our fighter fleet.

Sure, they're old, and their basic design and layout still shows some WWII-era thinking, but they work, and they'll continue to work, especially with the B-1Bs and the B-2s we still have available.
