A new bird of prey appeared over Seattle for the first time on 13 May, as Boeing test pilot Randy Neville flew Raptor 05 over the Puget Sound region before landing at Boeing Field. The Raptor, flown from Edwards AFB, California, remained on static display for two days and was seen by hundreds of F/A-22 and Boeing Integrated Defense Systems employees and their families. The display was the Air Force's way of recognizing the more than 1,000 Boeing employees in Seattle who work on the F/A-22 Program. Boeing has lead responsibility for the F/A-22's training system, manufacturing the wings and aft fuselage, and integrating and testing the Raptor's advanced avionics.
