I think they would do it in a heartbeat. As a matter of fact I believe that there is a delegation over there now trying to do just that. I believe that there is currently a US law which prohibits the export of F22s and the delegation were trying to see 'the right people' about getting the law amended to allow the export to Australia. I don't think they hold too much hope as other nations have tried and failed before. Perhaps they are going to argue the fact that with us being the US's best buddies in the whole wide world; we should get special treatment. Here's hoping.
