Not covered up , what is it? ballistic test rig??, Traing airframe??.

A cheap tarpaulin would have been better than relying on its inherent
stealth.:-)

How about the remaining YF-22? On its way to the Air Force Museum at
Wright-Patterson, maybe. Or one of the pre-production airframes
ditto.

It's not a trainer or the structures airframe. Nor was it an iron
bird.

There or some other museum. I can't imagine a plane left that exposed
during over road transport is destined for a better future. Fact is I'm
surprised that a museum bird would be transported uncovered.
Wright Pat has had the YF-22 on display for some time now.

Probably just a structural integrity test rig.

Naw - the wings, radome, and other structures are REALLY
stealthy...

One thing is for certain. Sitting on the back of that truck definitly
puts the Raptor's SIZE in perspective :-)
