Description

A F-22 Raptor on a fly-by during the Reno Air Races. For stealth the F-22 carries weapons in internal bays. The doors for the center bay and the smaller side bays are open. The F-22 has six LAU-142/A AMRAAM (Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile) vertical ejection launchers (AVEL). This picture was taken on 16 September 2012, Sig...

I like full view ... it let me see the nice zig-zags of the paint job. (Well, it's a plane. What did you expect me to like about it? LOL!)

If you were to see this sight on a battlefield it would likely be the last thing you saw as the ordnance is away and maybe about to hit you!

We actually saw one at Nellis AFB in April 1997 while they were celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Air Force becoming a separate branch. That one was flown in by a C-5. But we also saw a static display of a SR-71 and a fly-by. They had been retired earlier but a few were kept at the Dryden Test facility at Edwards AFB for 'research'.
