Textron Airland has created a flying swiss army knife. They call it the scorpion. The Scorpion looks like they took an A-10 Warthog, F-18, and F-35 and mashed them together. It is designed to be able to do the jobs of a UAV, C-130 hercules, A-10, and a fighter. It has a top speed of 518 mph, and can carry 3,000 lbs of payload.

Good Bye F-22s, We'll Miss You
The final F-22 Raptor rolled off the production line on December 13th. The tail number is 4195, and it is the 187th Raptor. The F-22 was conceived at the end of the Cold War as an air superiority fighter, that included stealth. The F-35 is going to replace it, as it will almost all other fighters including the F-16, F-18, and other fighters.
Here is a video of the final F-22 by Lockheed Martin:
