Members of the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron here flew the first F/A-22 Raptor Follow-on Operational Test and Evaluation mission Aug. 29, releasing Joint Direct Attack Munitions on the Utah Test and Training Range.

After almost 20 years in development - my favorite killing machine is almost ready.

Next test is to fire a AIM-120 (medium range air to air missile).

This plane should be ready to kill people as early as next year - I CAN'T WAIT!!!
