As part of an allied military intervention in Libya, the United States has launched a number of air strikes targeting Qaddafi’s ground forces and air defense centers, but one rather expensive aircraft is sitting out the action: the Air Force’s much-touted F-22 fighter jet, produced by Lockheed Martin....
Had the F-22 been used, Libya would’ve been its first taste of combat. The $150-million aircraft has also sat idle in the United States’ war on terror, having “not performed a single mission [4]” in either the Iraq or Afghanistan wars.
