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.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
