"Have to be there" but aren't.

Not in *any* of the recent photos.

How do you know they aren't there Irby?

There are no recent photos, Irby. The F-22's live in dog houses when
outside, so noone can take a picture.

check out: http://www.f-22raptor.com/index_gallery.php

it's the official F/A 22 web site, and although i'm just a lowly ground
pounder, i didn't see anything that looked like an air-dam/strake in the
pictures they show....
