Damn so...is it on an as needed basis kinda thing? If we need more or another plane they'll put the money into it, but short of that they are saying " we're good for now"...or are they just out of funding?

I often wonder if they even bothered to ask about the Raptor's Air-to-ground capability... It's just as flexible as the original Eagle. It can carry additional munitions on wing-mounted pylons, at the expense of a larger RCS. Its biggest problem is that apparently its RAM coating is a bit sensitive to the heat and dust that tends to be found in the Middle East, which seems to be the biggest strike against deploying it over there to relieve our over-worked Eagles. At this point Congress just wants it around to ward off the Chinese and Russians, as far as I can gather.

I wish they'd re-do this one. I hate the conquests, those things are bloated and have tiny tiny wings, this planes not much better in those regards but more forgiveable to me

I had a chance to talk to a raptor pilot last year, he said that when they run their combat exercises, they have to send 12 F-18s against 2 raptors just to keep it interesting. Those planes defy gravity the way they manuever.
