The F22 is needed to counter the S300 / S400 anti-aircraft missile. Once such defenses are down, then the F35 would take over.

Syria has this missle air defense.

As far as the future of Trek, I heard some talk

The real reason companies are up in arms about flash is that it's too easy to run off ads.
