SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AFPN) -- The Air Force has changed the designation
of the F/A-22 to the F-22A Raptor. The service designated it "F/A"
three years ago to stress the stealth fighter's ability to provide
close-air support and drop bombs. The "A" will now designate the
variant of the aircraft. The fighter from the 27th Fighter Squadron
(above) went to Hill Air Force Base, Utah, this year for live weapons
training. The Raptor is scheduled to become operational this month with
the 1st Fighter Wing at Langley AFB, Va. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff
