He was supposedly POTUS and doesn't know this?

Maybe Trump meant F-22?

So yes there is no F-32 and there never was one.
The X-32 is sitting in the USAF Museum.
Trump doesn't care enough about USAF history to know these facts.
Yes I think he means the F-22.

(3,278 posts)The F-32 was key in the Battle of Lexington, April 19, 1775. George Washington personally flew one and took out 12 British Red Coat Harrier Jump Jets

(81,424 posts)Also of note, the F-32, like the Harrier Jump Jet, did vertical take offs and landings.
So they would shoot at each other going up and down like matching fighting elevators.
The USAF museum has it all in the IMAX theater.
Quite a sight to behold.

MAGAs you have to believe me.
In the Revolutionary War, George Washington did fly F-32s against
the Red Coat Jump Jets and in combat they went up and down like little elevators.
MAGAs, I should know. I am an old Air Force brat, and we never made up far fetched
stories for our own entertainment and to prank our dads. And to make our mothers roll
their eyes and tell us to sit down and be quiet.

(3,278 posts)When both sides learned how to fly those jets in forward flight? Or was that when we were battling the Pirates in the battle of Tripoli before that famous treaty. My history is rusty.
I saw that black and white movie you talked about. Those planes just going up and down was kind of funny compared to what we can do now

that he knows about.
