FA-22 Raptor Crashes

I Read in the latest issue of AFM that there was the first crash of the afore mentioned a/c.

The Raptor lost power on take-off and just fell like a rock, thankfully at least the pilot ejected and was discharged from hospital the same day. If anyone has exact details, please submit.

Its also worth bearing in mind that if the USAF does cut back to ordering only 160 Raptors then the unit price rises to $259million each (Source was AFM again). Given that a Super Hornet, Typhoon or similar high performance a/c doesn’t even cost 1/4 of this, doesn’t Raptor seem a little expensive, if only from an attrition point of view? It seems like an incredible airplane, but when you could have one F/A 22 or about 3 or 4 F/A-18 E/Fs to fulfill similar roles i would buy the F-18s if i were in charge of procurement.

Might be worthwhile to scrap F-22 and just buy F-35 for USAF?
