Representatives from the Air Force and Lockheed Martin gathered to see the roll-out of Pacific Air Forces' first F-22 Raptor Feb 12 at Marietta, Ga. This F-22 is the first of several that will be assigned to PACAF at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska. The F-22 aerodesign, advanced flight controls, thrust vectoring, and high thrust-to-weight ratio provide the capability to outmaneuver all current and projected aircraft.

The Boeing Joint Strike Fighter X-32B demonstrator lifts off on its maiden flight from the company's facility in Palmdale, Calif. Following a series of initial airworthiness tests, the X-32B, with Boeing JSF lead STOVL test pilot Dennis O'Donoghue at the controls, landed at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.
The X-32B will complete a number of flights at Edwards before moving to Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., for the majority of STOVL testing. The overall flight-test program will include approximately 55 flights totaling about 40 hours.
