This s**t happens and with an economic meltdown,was inevitable. It's more a "put on hold" than a true cancel. The USAF will eventually get most of the Raptors expected (not the full wish list). at this point in time, the existing F 15, F16, F18 aircraft have not even met serious competition,but looking ahead, that will change.
