As one of our followers here on FighterSweep, you’re probably someone that likes to keep track of the latest news on America’s most advanced fighters–especially the stealthy, badass fifth-generation F-22 and F-35. More specifically, you’ve probably been keeping tabs on the development of the F-35–its setbacks, its achievements, and its march toward IOC. That also […]

Blasting out of McEntire Joint National Guard Base at 0 dark thirty were Swamp Fox airmen, underway on an Atlantic crossing on […]
The 95th’s homecoming also marks the completion of the first official combat deployment for the Raptor. The world’s first fifth-generation fighter, the F-22 reached its initial operational capability (IOC) on 15 December 2005, so after nearly ten years of service, the Raptor fired its first shots in anger on the ensuing night of Operation Inherent Resolve.
A milestone was reached for the 61st Fighter Squadron at Luke Air Force Base this past week.
