Air Force should reassess how F-22 is used, squadrons are organized, report says
Brock VergakisThe Virginian-Pilot
The Air Force should reassess how its fleet of stealthy F-22 Raptors are used to improve aircraft availability and give pilots more high-end training time rather than focusing on missions that don't require the jet's unique capabilities, according to a congressional watchdog report.
The Air Force has 186 Raptors spread across the country, including dozens at two squadrons at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton. They were designed to be the Air Force's premier air-to-air fighter, while the next generation F-35 focuses more on air-to-ground missions.
