Four first lieutenants currently assigned to Luke AFB, Arizona, have been selected as the first pilots to go directly from advanced fighter training to flying the F-22. Until now, only experienced F-15 or F-16 pilots have converted to the Raptor. First lieutenants Austin Skelley, Ryan Shelhorse, Marcus McGinn, and Dan Dickinson have completed the fighter fundamentals at Randolph AFB, Texas, and are undergoing further advanced flight training in two-seat F-16s at Luke. In March, the quartet will transfer to the 43rd Fighter Squadron at Tyndall AFB, Florida, where they will begin Raptor training.
