Boeing F-18E/F vs LM F-22. Battle of the American 90s.

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

F-18E/F first flight 29 November 1995. F-22 first flight 7 September 1997. Same generation. You can think of them as being modern counterparts of Grumman F4F carrier capable fighter and Curtis P-40 fighter. F-18E/F sold to Australia. F-22 no export sales.

They are like 1.5 years apart. That's same generation.

F4F first flight 2 September 1937. P-40 first flight 14 October 1938. You can't say they are not the same generation.
