The key is to know the right people. While I was at
Tyndall being told no vieo of the F-22, Chris Woodul
got a KC-135 ride to nellis and was shown the
F-22(including the cockpit)up close, and cameras were
allowed. Maybe the fast that is was not running made a
difference.

You should have told me sooner that you needed pics, I
sat in a St. Louis F-15C last month. The seat was
live. I would post a pic of me in it but they dont go
through on this list.
