Former F-22 test pilot says USAF should buy some fourth-generation fighters

Lt. Col. Christopher Niemi, a former F-22 test pilot, wrote in the Air & Space Power Journal to urge the service to reconsider buying fourth-generation fighters.

Niemi said “the cost of F-22s and F-35s threatens to reduce the size of the Air Force’s fielded fighter fleet to dangerously small numbers, particularly in the current fiscal environment.”
