At $140M per aircraft the F-22 better be able to make pancakes for breakfast for it's pilot and maintenance crew too.
Long wave radar is coming back in order to detect 'stealth' aircraft. The Russians still have some active long wave radars in their inventory.
The First F/A-22 Delivering to Langley AFB
These are Great In-flight Photos of the F/A-22 as the first Aircraft Delivery
was being made to Langley AFB in Va.. Langley is to be first Operational AFB
for the F/A-22. It is a very Beautiful AFB, located in a picturesque
location, as you can see in these photos, near Norfolk and Hampton, Va.
The Aircraft flying along with the F/A-22 in the last of these photos is the
F-15, which will be replaced by the F/A-22 which is several times better
than the F-15.
In Actual In-flight (simulated) Combat Operations against the F-15, two
F/A-22's were able to operate without detection while it went Head to Head
against (8) F-15's. The F/A-22's scored Missile Hits (Kills) against all
the F-15 Aircraft and the F/A-22's were never Detected by either the F-15's
or Ground Based Radar.
