Three F-22 Raptors from Langley Air Force base are scheduled to make the jet's first trans-Atlantic flight to participate in an air show in the United Kingdom.
The Raptors are slated to be showcased at the 2008 Royal International Air Tattoo in Gloucestershire this weekend, touted as the world's largest military airshow. The jets from the 1st Fighter Wing also will participate in the Farnborough International Air Show.
Major Paul Moga will command the F-22 demonstration team. Pilots will demonstrate some of the capabilities of the world's only operational fifth-generation fighter aircraft.
The Raptor is said to be the nation's newest, most expensive fighter jet and the Air Force's fastest and stealthiest plane.
