We had an airshow here on Eglin AFB, FL awhile back. I got these pictures when they had to hanger the jets due to weather. I added some information below if you want to know a little about how awsome the F-22 Raptor is.
The one in the middle is the end all fighter of the future, the average age of an operational f-15 fighter is 30 years old. Does anyone here drive a car that old? The F-22 raptor is the replacement for the F-15, it completely dominates anything in the world that flies. There is an event called red flag hosted at Nellis AFB in Nevada, it's a series of realistic airborn war games. Some NATO allies participate in it and basicly jets fly around and shoot each other down. The USAF always dominates, and more specificly the new F-22 completely dominates everything.
The F-22 has thrust vectoring technology, meaning the dual jet engines are able to move independently from the airframe it's self adding manuverabilty. It can cruise at supersonic speeds without the use of afterburners. By the time other aircraft see the F-22 on their radar, they are dead. The ability of this jet is retarded, and I can't really even fathom it. Rest assured your tax dollars are being spent well on this baby, the USA will continue to dominate the sky for years to come.
