An Update on the F-22 and the Evolution of Air Combat: The Perspective from the First Fighter Wing
2017-11-15 By Robbin Laird
I have dealt with the F-22 for many years and first visited the First Fighter Wing in 2007 as the plane was being stood up and introduced to the force.
What was anticipated and hoped for with the introduction of the first fifth generation aircraft is clearly now being realized, although, unfortunately, at much lower numbers than the USAF desired or needed.
With the shift from slo mo to higher intensity operations, the F-22 is providing a key leadership role within the US and allied air combat forces in reshaping of the concepts of operations to ensure that the liberal democracies can prevail against their adversaries.
