Many planes also see their mission-capable rates slowly improve as they age. The F-22 Raptor, for example, went from 51.25 percent in 2003 to 60.94 percent in 2010.Read the whole story here, but this is curious...the Air Force Association and the USAF is not giving us the full story on the F-22 experience. A mission capable rate that rises from 51 percent to 60 percent is hardly something to brag about and is well below the MV-22 rate which has been claimed as a reason to cancel that airplane.
AMAZING!~
Add to it that the Air Force Association is talking about building more F-22's (read that here) and you have another case of massive spin by an advocacy group for the USAF....the F-22 isn't the world beater many would have us believe.
