I take it they are still buying 187 of the jets is that correct even if the program has been canceled?
So when does the production line end if they did not include any funding for the F-22 in the 2010 budget? |

Program was not canceled. For those that a decision to build 187 or 243 or 381 a/c mean to cancel, yes it was canceled.
Does it matter when production stop if the program was canceled?  I think end on Tuesday after Thursday ... in 2011.
I also guess propaganda never ends ... look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xxoFjGJ5hY is made so good ...
Is that propaganda related to PAK-FA and the need for money ...? India didn't signed the deal on March when PM Putin was there ... |

| Lets just hope no idiots order the tooling, official blueprints and design plans, and etc. to be destroyed. |

| IIRC, in a previous defense bill, money was put aside to preserve all that. |

Preserve the tooling, plans, etc.
So we would not have a repeat of the C-5 tooling destruction with the F-22. |

The program is not canceled. USAF will end up with 34 + 63 + 87 F-22 from 187 that will be produced.
There are provisions / money and plans to upgrade from Block 20 to Block 35/30, a selected upgrade. For sure upgrades will continue after Block 35, even it cost a lot of money.
There are money approved to close the production in 2011 after 187 a/c, and preserve the tooling. |
