Sad news although the F/A-22 is coming into services, and deliveries are staggering.

But not more then 183 Raptors will come in service if understood the articles in Air Force Times well.... Too expensive for the MoD and it didn't prove itself in Afghanistan or Iraq. No export is possible so probably the production of the Raptor stops after this 183...
