An F-22A raptor like this one has completed its final assembly in the Lockheed Martin plant in Marietta, Ga., and is the first combat-capable fighter destined for basing and operations in the Pacific. This particular F-22A is in service at the 27th Fighter Squadron at Langley Air Force Base, Va. (The first squadron to receive the F-22A.) Photographer : U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Ben Bloker
WNU Editor: A few days ago I posted an article that 100 F-35s may be retired .... The Pentagon May Retire 100 F-35s Because It Would Be Too Expensive To Upgrade Them (September 26, 2017). But in that post I also learned that 3 dozen F-22s were retired for the same reason .... and I started to wonder on how much would it cost to upgrade these fighters. Now we know .... Air Force weighs cost to upgrade 34 F-22 trainers to combat configuration (Inside Defense).
