WOW!!! The FA-22 Raptor
In the fall of 2004, the United States Air Force will introduce into service it's newest aircraft, the F/A-22 Raptor. The F/A-22 Raptor is a new breed of super-fighter for the 21st century. With its stealth, supersonic cruise, agility and advanced integrated avionics, it will dominate the skies over any future battlefield and bring unequaled capability into the hands of America's Air Force fighter pilots.
The F/A-22 Raptor, developed at Aeronautical Systems Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is the replacement for the F-15 Eagle air-superiority fighter. It combines stealth design with the supersonic, highly maneuverable, dual-engine, long-range requirements of an air-to-air fighter, and it also will have an inherent air-to-ground capability, if needed. The F/A-22 incorporates the latest technological gains in reduced observables, avionics, materials, engine performance and aerodynamic design.
The first operational wing will be delivered to the 1st Fighter Wing of the Air Combat Command stationed at Langley AFB, Virginia. As the spearhead of the Global Strike Task Force, the USAF's contribution to the nation's "kick-down-the-door force", the F/A-22 next-generation air superiority fighter will offer a "first-look, first-shot, first-kill" capability, guaranteeing U.S. air dominance for the next three decades.

Gorgeous!!!!
If I was one of those freaky Countries with designs on taking on our Military, I would think again if I saw this.
