I believe this was one of the early F-22s used for flight training, not the later block of aircraft with the more advanced avionics.

Still tragic a loss of a rare commodity. Prayers of thanks that the pilot is safe.

Scumbag in Chief happy this one is gone.
He voted against it and wouldn’t even allow his picture to be taken with one.

I was watching the local Panama City TV station this afternoon and they showed a video of the crash.

It was taken from a long distance away but you could tell the plane was on fire. It did not drop like a rock but went down slowly.

The F-22 costs $142 million each.

The Federal government spends $6.85 million per minute.

It's gonna take 21 minutes to pay this off!!!!

What a tragic situation.We have so damn few of these planes in service and if I recall the construction line to build new ones ha been closed.

What is the Air Force going to do to get replacements quick?

This was something I feared when they started chopping to numbers they were originally supposed to build.
