Buy more F-22s.

There is not much of a cost difference between the F-22 and the F-35A anyway.

Now that the F-35 turned out to be a disaster, the USAF should accelerate the F-X project, possibly combining with the USN F/A-XX project to save money. An airforce + navy combo jet is doable, unlike the airforce + navy+ marine jet.

More like the Silent Hornet. The US Navy is talking with Boeing about the Silent Hornet retrofit to existing Super Hornets, that the US Navy could go ahead if Boeing finds the first export customer.

The Navy has the F/A-XX program.

1. Buy the Super Hornet to replace the Hornet.
2. Start a new STOL fighter jet program, based around Gripen or something similar. S/VTOL is dead now.

It would not piss off Israel(Wanted the Silent Eagle over F-35 in the first place anyway, only to be denied by the US), Japan(Just replace the F-35 with Mitsubish F-3), Spain(bankrupt and can't afford new jets), and Korea(F-35 is already ruled out).
