Yeah, but what good is 18 high quality, 4.5/5th generation fighters when you have to go against 30, 40 or 50 3rd/4th generation aircraft?
We still need a significant amount of planes to properly implement that doctrine. This is to ensure all of our fly-boys/girls get ample amount of time flying.
Airframes only provide 10% of the combat effectiveness. The other 90% comes from the pilots. Right now we don't have enough airframes to go around for the amount of pilots we have.
Not enough flight time = inexperience pilots. This was demonstrated perfectly by that video of the veteran pilot in a t-38 trainer against the F-22 pilot who was still getting used to the aircraft.

patient lar.
its not like we have huge amount of budget.
we will be getting new fighter by 2015.
A generation fighter is not just about airframe. but its about technology changes. there are many thing 3rd generation fighter can't do.
detection range of the radar already overpower those 3rd generation.
