Not WWII, But Some Interesting New Big F-22 Pics
« on: December 22, 2005, 09:33:30 PM »
Not sure if anyone here likes jets, but I got a disk with F-22 pics during a PR meeting I attended at Langley AFB a few weeks ago as a part of my company's Military Affairs Committee.  These are pics of the first F-22 delivered to Langley AFB, and AFAIK, they haven't been posted on the net before:

That plane has a really peculiar finish, very unlike the F-15.  The F-22's finish has some depth to it, the F-15's is matte.   The finish on the F-22 sort of changes color depending on how you're looking at it.

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

I always thought the F-15 looked fast, even when sitting on the ground. It just looked like 100% raw power ready to spring to life. Now I look at it in flight next to the F-22, and it looks like it has to work hard just to stay in the air. The F-22 looks like it is just slipping through the air. Sleek and smooth. I need to get up to Langley and check them out. I only live 20 miles form the place. I'm sure they will do a flight demo this year at the open house and air show. I will be there this year for sure.

Awsome pics....thanks for posting them.

From Globalsecurity.org

Quote

The F-22's close-range weapon is the M61A2 20mm cannon and its associated components. The M61 is a proven gun, having been the U. S. military's close-in weapon of choice dating back to the 1950s. The F-104, F-105, later models of the F-106, F-111, F-4, B-58, all used the M61, as does the Air Force's current F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon, and the Navy's F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 Hornet. The system is integrally mounted in the aircraft and located on the right side of the aircraft between the wing (top side) and fuselage. It is a fixed-forward firing mount. A gun door, located in the wing root area, is hydraulically controlled to open when firing the gun, which allows the rounds and blast pressure to clear the muzzle. A 480-round closed loop ammunition feed and storage subsystem is housed integrally under the right wing root/fuselage for easy ammo upload and download of empty casings. The gun system consists of the M61A2 gun, the Linear Linkless Ammunition Handling System (LLAHS), the hydraulic drive system, and the gun door/gun port and gas purge system.
