"In past few decades, the U.S. Air Force has spent untold billions researching and developing a family of stealth fighter jets that are supposed to be generations ahead of any dogfighters in the sky.
But after building more than 170 F-22 Raptors and a handful of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, not a single one is available for service. The Air Force currently has zero flyable stealth fighters. None."
After hundreds of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars have been spent on these planes and why thank goodness they aren't flying, please see http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/08/entire-u-s-stealth-fighter-fleet-grounded
