FIRST FA-22 FIGHTERS DELIVERED TO LANGLEY

These are Great In-flight Photos of the F/A-22 as the first Aircraft Delivery was being made to Langley AFB in Va.

Langley is to be first Operational AFB or the F/A-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 F/A-22 in the last of these photos is the F-15, which will be replaced by the F/A-22 which is several times better than the F-15.

In Actual In-flight (simulated) Combat Operations against the F-15, two F/A-22s were able to operate without detection while it went Head to Head against (8) F-15s. The F/A-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'!

F/A-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 he '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'll temporarily lose consciousness, so the Raptor then automatically comes back to straight and level flight until he wakes up.

That is freaking amazing! "Please wake up sir, missle threat evaded."
 
I saw a show on the Military Channel, they asked Raptor pilots what people thought of the aircraft. They replied "The Navy hates us, we "ran into" some F-18's, for some reason they couldnt find us/track us with their radar".:laugh:
 
look strategic air combat command. they retired the stealth f-117 for the raptor. I have seen alot of aircraft and i still like the raptor the best yet
 
I live near Oceans Naval base. I use use spend my time in Hampton at my X's house for half the week. The Raptors would fly over her house and I would watch them set up for landing. Much nicer then the F-18's I have flying over my house. The engine sound funny too. You can hear the engines chance pitch, unlike the F-18's....LOUD AS HELL ALL THE TIME!!! DID YOU SAY SOMETIHING!!!
 
what an amazing aircraft.... love the colors.. funny the copied the Busa Silver huh? :laugh:
 
Been watching this thing since 1999. A technological marvel and the absolute king of the sky. Plus, it just plain looks cool! :thumbsup:

Semi-Random thought: It'd be fun to see a Hayabusa and an F-22 race from a standing start. :laugh:

It'd be more fun to acquire some of the stealthing tech that went into this thing for the Busa!
