Gaincorp World Aircraft Collection WA72021 - Lockheed F-22A USAF 1st FW, 27th FS Fightin' Eagles, 03-4047, Langley AFB, VA, 2006 Designed to meet a US Air Force requirement for an Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) to replace the F-15 Eagle, the F-22 was first flown on September 29th, 1990. The USAF's ATF program aimed to produce a fifth-generation air superiority fighter that would be better matched against emerging new aircraft such as the Su-27 Flanker. The F-22 uses stealth technology and can function in air superiority, ground attack, intelligence and electronic warfare roles. Despite its capabilities, the F-22 program was relatively short-lived; by 2010 its high cost coupled with the development of the F-35 (a more versatile and less expensive aircraft) led to a cessation of F-22 production funding. Has been on display in a glass cabinet. Box in good condition - what you see in the picture is what you will receive. Please note that this is a UK only auction.
