Capt. Charles Corcoran, an F-15 pilot with the 390th FS at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, has been selected to test the combat effectiveness of the F-22, the Air Forces new air-superiority fighter. He is one of ten pilots chosen for the assignment at Edwards AFB. In my mind, it was pure luck, he said. I am just happy to be doing what I am doing.
Corcoran views the F-22 as the best weapon the Air Force can provide its pilots. The F-22 will allow us to maintain the technical advantage over our adversaries, he said. You dont want to bring a knife to a knife-fight. You want to bring a gun. We dont want a fair fight. The F-22 will allow us to have the advantage and to deter anyone from challenging us.
