U.S. Senate Considers Restoration Of F-35 Funding, Restart Of F-22 Production | Aero-News Network

Off the top of my head, I can only think of two production lines that were ever restarted- the U-2, and the C-2 Greyhound. It's highly unlikely in these tight fiscal times the Congress would pony up the huge sums needed to restart F-22 production.

    Take the funding away from the F-35 and put it back into the F-22.

    C-5 was restarted in the 1980s.
    You could consider the B-1B a restart. But it was really a whole new aircraft.

    You’re right. I forgot the C-5 program.

    That damned gold-plated F-35 will destroy both the USAF and Naval aviation–unfortunately too many rice bowls to protect to canx it and restart the F-22. The really sickening part is that we made the F-111, the A-6 and the F-14 go away all to clear up funding for the F-35. Now we have no low-level, all-wx supersonic long-range strike fighter(111) and no 111 ECM bird either. no long-range all-wx strike fighter/tanker for the Navy and no Carrier multiple tgt airborne AD system (114). ALL of these systems would still provide credible effective service as is, never mind tweeked upgrades.

    I guess someone else also wanted to know who was going to protect the F-35s who, as we all know, won’t have to do air-to-air. Maybe the F-35 pilots.
