The other thing I forgot to mention is that the new F-22 has tailfins that
meet in a V like the F-18.  I think the main way to tell the two apart is
that the F-22 seems to have shorter stubbier looking wings, while the F-18
has longer, thinner wings.

Does anybody know how many F-22s the Air Force has in service and where
they'd be located (i.e. if there'd be any likely to fly around our area) ?

Also, I seem to recall one of the planes under discussion being obsoleted
by the military (meaning they stopped using them altogether), but I can't
remember which it was.  Anybody have any idea?
