Strange Raptor Pictures
http://www.f-22raptor.com/
Not covered up , what is it? ballistic test rig??, Traing airframe??. A cheap tarpaulin would have been better than relying on its inherent stealth.:-) Cheers John Cook Any spelling mistakes/grammatic errors are there purely to annoy. All opinions are mine, not TAFE's however much they beg me for them. Email Address :- Spam trap - please remove (trousers) to email me Eurofighter Website :- http://www.eurofighter-typhoon.co.uk

Or one of the pre-production airframes ditto. It's not a trainer or the structures airframe. Nor was it an iron bird. Mary -- Mary Shafer Retired aerospace research engineer

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.

Sitting on the back of that truck definitly puts the Raptor's SIZE in perspective :-)
