Lockheed Martin delivered the 100th F-22A Raptor to the Air Force on Aug. 29 in a ceremony at its Marietta, Ga., production facility. This particular bird goes to the 3rd Wing at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. The active duty wing will own the aircraft, but it will share operations and maintenance with Air Force Reserve Command’s 477th Fighter Group.
Northrop Grumman’s Talon Blue YFQ-48A Collaborative Combat Aircraft took its first flight Oct. 3, heightening the competition for the Air Force’s future combat fleet.
