<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>The First F/A-22 Delivered to Langley
AFB<BR><BR>These are photos of the F/A-22 (Raptor) as the first aircraft
delivery was<BR>being made to Langley AFB in VA. Langley is to be first
operational AFB<BR>for the F/A-22.<BR><BR>The Aircraft flying along with the
F/A-22 in several of these photos is the<BR>F-15, which will be replaced by the
F/A-22 since testing by the USAF has<BR>verified predictions that the F/A-22
would be several times better than<BR>the F-15.<BR><BR>In actual in-flight
(simulated combat) operations against the F-15, one<BR>F/A-22 was able to
operate without detection while it went head to head<BR>against 4 F-15's and (2)
F/A-22's against (8) F-15's. The F/A-22's<BR>scored missile hits (Kills)
against each F-15 Aircraft and the F/A-22's were never<BR>detected by the F-15's
or ground based radar.<BR><BR>Maj. Gen. Rick Lewis said: "The Raptor
operated against all adversaries<BR>with virtual impunity; ground based systems
couldn't engage and no<BR>adversary aircraft
survived."</FONT><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
