Recently Air Force Magazine ran an article in which Secretary of the Air Force Michael W. Wynne stated that the DoD will seek an additional 20 F-22A Raptor's from the current order of 183. Although he did not specify how many more (overall) F-22's the USAF would seek it looks like it will be more than this initial 20 but less than the 381 the USAF maintains it needs. Currently Raptor's are being delivered at a rate of 20 aircraft per year (until 2009), if the production line remains open for an additional 3-4 years thats a possible further 60-80 Raptor's.

Mod edit: Ladies and Gentleman, I refer you to earlier comments about the F-22, F-35 and F/A-18 threads.
We are taking a brief pause from threads on such topics to give people who might post in them a chance to post something different or perhaps research these issues a bit more thoroughly.
Please respect this decision and not open any new threads along these lines for the time being.
