More on the surprise Raptor deployment to the UK/Europe.

Two major things happened in the UK during late April that raised military aficionados' eyebrows and caught aviation observers with their pants down. The first saw the US Air Force deploy twelve of the world’s most advanced super fighters across the Atlantic without any warning. It just happened. A mass of F-22A Raptors left Tyndall AFB in Florida and headed for England on a deployment that would last nearly three weeks. And no one outside the ‘need to know’ military network had a heads up about it. It proved that such things can still be done without losing the element of surprise, a point that is extra significant when you consider that the UK has an entire community built around aircraft spotting and flight tracking.

I've been a big fan of the F15 since I was a kid. F22 is nice and all but the Eagle comes of as a vintage muscle car that still out does the new comers. Just a beast!
