Hampton, Va. (May 14, 2005) -- A U.S. Air Force F/A-22 Raptor climbs
into the air in afterburner as it takes flight prior to the U.S. Air
Force Heritage 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 Photographer's
