Raptor flies 100th mission
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AFPN) -- F-22 Raptor 4001, the first of
the Air Force's next-generation of air superiorty fighter jets, flew
its 100th mission here Oct. 27 with Boeing test pilot Chuck Killberg at
the controls. The F-22 is undergoing the most extensive and
sophisticated testing of any combat aircraft ever developed, giving the
Air Force and its industry partners adequate time to properly
design, build and test the Raptor before being put into production.
