Lt. Col. Dave Rose, the commander of the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron at Nellis AFB, Nevada, flew an F/A-22 Raptor during a First Flight Centennial Celebration flyby at the Wright Brothers National Memorial near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on 16 December, the day before the actual 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' epic flight. Maj. Robert Garland flew an F-15 Eagle from Langley AFB, Virginia, and joined in formation after Rose's flyby. The 27th Fighter Squadron at Langley is slated to be the home of the first operational Raptor squadron and is scheduled to receive its first aircraft late this year.
