FILE PHOTO -- The F/A-22 Raptor, developed at Aeronautical Systems Center, Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base, Ohio, is the replacement for the F-15 Eagle air-superiority fighter
and will become operational this century. It combines stealth design with the
supersonic, highly maneuverable, dual-engine, long-range requirements of an air-to-air
fighter, and it also will have an inherit air-to-ground capability, if needed.
The F/A-22's integrated avionics gives it first-look, first-shot, first-kill capability
that will guarantee U.S. air dominance for the next three decades. (U.S. Air Force
