Hampton, Va. (May 14, 2005) – A U.S. Air Force F/A-22 Raptor
taxis to the active runway prior to taking flight at the 2005 Air Power
over Hampton Roads air show held on board Langley Air Force Base, Va.
The flight was the first public introduction to the F/A-22 Raptor at
Langley. The F/A-22’s combination of stealth, integrated
avionics, maneuverability and supercruise will give Raptor pilots a
first-look, first-shot, first-kill capability against the aircraft of
any potential enemy. The F/A-22 is designed to provide not just air
superiority, but air dominance. This year's air show showcased civilian
and military aircraft from the Nation's armed forces, which provided
many flight demonstrations and static displays. U.S. Navy photo by
