|
 The final developmental flight test F/A-22, Raptor 09, was flown from Lockheed Martin in Marietta, Georgia, to its plant in Palmdale, California, on 14 January. After receiving modifications required for Dedicated Initial Operational Test and Evaluation, the aircraft will be ferried to the Air Force Flight Test Center at nearby Edwards AFB. At Edwards, Raptor 09 will be assigned to the Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center detachment. It will be used to demonstrate F/A-22 lethality, survivability, and reliability during DIOT&E, scheduled to begin later this year. |
