{EXCERPT} PRESS RELEASE -- Secretary of the Air Force, Directorate of
Public Affairs

Release No. 0914041 Sep 14, 2004

F/A-22 Drops JDAM Successfully

Washingon - An F/A-22 Raptor flying at 30,000 feet dropped a
satellite-guided 1,000lb Joint Direct Attack Munition, successfully
hitting its designated ground target on Sept. 2, 2004 at Edwards Air
Force Base, Calif.

This developmental test marked the first complete mission
demonstration of the Raptor's air-to-ground attack capability.

"The F/A-22 will be able to conduct both air-to-air and air-to-ground
attacks when it reaches Initial Operational Capability, currently
planned for December 2005," said Major General Rick Lewis, Program
Executive Officer for the F/A-22 Program.

The F/A-22's transformational combination of stealth, supercruise,
advanced maneuverability, and integrated avionics provides increased
first-look, first-kill capability against enemy aircraft and next
generation surface to air missiles.
