How much for a used F-15?
With delivery of the F-35 joint strike fighter being delayed - possibly to as far out as 2018 - Israel is planning to upgrade some of its F-15's and F-16's, and to buy an entire squadron of used F-15's from the United States. Due to the delays, the IDF is working on a plan that includes upgrading its current fleet of legendary F-15s and F-16s that it had planned on phasing out, as well as the procurement of a squadron of used F-15s from the USAF that will serve as a “gap filler” for the IAF until the JSF arrives, now expected as late as 2018.If only Obama had not insisted on canceling the F-22.

If we [USA] don't want to build the F22 anymore than we should sell or lease the rights to Israel to build them. The F22 is a proven aircraft the F35 is not.
