I wonder if any will go to Eglin AFB. The reason I wonder is I saw an account in a classroom history lesson that nearly all the air to air victories in Iraq were from Eglin.

I told the prof that my Grandfather had worked there and he said they were generally rated as the best wing in the air force.

Given the relatively limited production of the F-22A (only 350 ordered), unless the USAF does a follow-on order for at least 100 planes you can forget about the F-22A being based at Eglin AFB. Instead, F-22A's will fly out of Langley AFB, Luke AFB and possibly Holloman AFB, the first bases that got the F-15A back in the middle 1970's.
