      If you graduate UPT by age 23, there will still be later production year Block 50/52 Vipers in service (maybe converted to V), as well as aggressor squadrons like this. In 12 years, these aircraft may very well be bone-yarded or turned into QF-16Cs out in Florida as target drones.
      There will be at least 1600 F-35As in USAF service by then, most of them Block 4 and 5 F-35As with features that don't exist yet on Blocks 1-3. Vipers will mostly be AFRES and ANG units by then, maybe only 2-400 left in service.
      The new 6th Gen PCA will be in production, so it will be a mix of MLU'd F-22As, F-35A Blocks 4 & 5 with Block 3s as Aggressors, PCA coming online, Strike Eagles retiring, F-15Cs long gone, B-21 Raiders in multiple bomber Squadrons, and a lot more drones.

We have in operations 46 F16 with 4th degree generation technology, enought to show disuasive power or fight in the region, if someone try to test. In Chile, we believe F16 are a nice iron bird.

      @@Planehazza The center box relieves pressure automatically if it needs to. The pilot is not controlling that. This even occurs on ground during refueling. That is why you never supposed to stand under it because even though it is venting fuel vapors, it could dump fuel on you. Trap fuel situation is completely something else.
