    F-22 in flight

    Help I have pictures of the FA-22 in flight sent to me by a friend in the states showing great details of the aircraft. This is in the form of an e-mail is there an email address for Scale models that i can forward them to so as to let others see for future reference and builds.

    Ok I put F22 instead of FA22. Spot the Dunce

    I will try to load the pictures this time.

    Note: read the copy after the pictures.

    FIRST FA-22 FIGHTERS DELIVERED TO LANGLEY

    It's a beauty!!!!

    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.
