I don't know about a comparable airforce. The American's next leap forward in aircraft, communications and precision munitions will jump it a full generation ahead. Combine that with the amount of actual air combat experience that thier pilots have and you have a pretty big advantage.

The chinese have the advantage in raw numbers, but American fight co-ordination evens the odds and even shifts any combat scenario into thier favor.

Just my 2 cents though
