re: #37 J.D.

He already has a helicopter that’s new…to him.
The F-22, though, why exactly?

Many people think the F-22 isn’t worth it, and that our enemies don’t have planes that need such an expensive aircraft to fight. That doesn’t mean they won’t have them and we’ll be stuck.

As for the helicopter, I thought the current ones were getting near the end of their lives.
And since it was a Eurocopter that was selected, the Europeans aren’t going to be happy it was canceled. (I still think it should have been the Sikorsky S-92, which is an excellent copter, and AMERICAN! I don’t think the POTUS should be carried around in a Eurocopter.)
