What a plane

FIRST FA-22 FIGHTERS DELIVERED
TO LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE.

These are Great In-flight Photos
Of the FA-22 as the first Aircraft
Delivery was being made to Langley
AFB in Va. Langley is to be first
Operational AFB for the FA-22. It is
A very beautiful AFB, located in a
Picturesque location, as you can see
In these photos, near Norfolk and
Hampton, Va.

The Aircraft flying along with the
FA-22 in the last of these photos is
The F-15, which will be replaced by
The FA-22 which is several times
Better.

In Actual In-flight (simulated)
Combat Operations against the F-15,
Two FA-22s were able to operate
Without detection while they went
Head to head against (8) F-15s. The
FA-22s scored Missile Hits (Kills)
Against all the F-15 Aircraft and the
F/A-22s were never detected by
Either the F-15s or Ground Based
Radar. Maj. Gen. Rick Lewis said:
'The Raptor Operated Against All
Adversaries with Virtual Impunity;
Ground Based Systems Couldn't
Engage and NO Adversary Aircraft
Survived'!

FA-22 -- America 's Most Advanced
Fighter Aircraft for the 21st Century!
They're a titanium and carbon fiber
Dagger. They're so advanced that if
Their on-board locator is switched off
Even our own satellites can lose track
Of them. They're the first military
Aircraft ever built that is equipped
With a 'black-out button'. What that
Means is this:
The best conditioned fighter pilots are
Capable of maintaining consciousness
Up to in the vicinity of 15+ G. The
Raptor is capable of making 22+ G
Turns. If someday an adversary builds
A missile that is capable of catching
Up to one of these airplanes and a
Raptor pilot sees that a strike is
Imminent, he hits the 'b.o.b.' and the
Airplane makes a virtual U-turn,
Leaving the missile to pass right on by.

They know that in the process he will
Temporarily lose consciousness, so the
Raptor then automatically comes back
To straight and level flight until he
Wakes back up.

The funny thing is that based on research done since these were conceived, they are already out of date.

Personally, I want to see what's cutting edge today, but we won't find out about that for 20 years.

Think about it... the SR-71 Blackbird, whose ceiling and top speed are STILL classified was designed in 1958! I want to know what's top of the line, using the latest and greatest. It's gotta be so cool that words can't describe it (including the non-word 'wack').

Cutting edge is the UF-22....U for Unmanned

"Cool" will always be cool.

However, "Chillax" will always be "wack".

I was going for the sarcasm of it...but it was not a good choice

typcially things aren't brought to the public light until the government wants to use them.

I rembmer being at nellis AFB for Operation Red Flag in 1997; and seeing a pedestal of a F111 fighter; . I can't recal the exactly specifics, but I remember seeing a plaque on beneath a F111 on a pedastal that read the innaugural flight was in 1978 or something crazy; and we didn't even hear about the B2 or F111 until the Gulf War when we wanted to try out our new toys. I was in Navy intel an it was a surprise to me.

I believe there is some SERIOUS firepower/avionics/stealth in production that we simply haven't heard about yet. They'll let us know 10 years after it's been deployed.

F22 is a Bad, Bad, machine. In a good way.

Most of the tech we use now was developed decades ago.. Just think what is on their drawing board now..

Exactly. Which gives me a 'tingly' feeling in the 'nether regions".

Think you might have your plans & time lines mixed up. The F-111 was used as far back as the bombing of Libya, and was very mush in the news then. If your thinking of the F-117, it was first used in the Panama invasion, and was public before then.

goosebumps on the neck here. Awesome power.

That's what I was thinking as well. The F-111 came out in the late 60's and was retired in the late 90's.
