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.
