Ahhh, they unfixed it now.
Nuts.
F/A-22 vs F-22
LOL, first it was the F-22, then they decided to use the Navy unique "F/A" type designation (in light of F-22 being modified to carry 32 JDAMs in main bay amking it more useful). Then the new CSAF decided that wasn't going to happen on his watch so it's back to F-22.
Note: the press releases on Raptor arrival at Langley still say F/A-22

LOL. I'll fly whatever I can get. I'm more interested in earning my wings of gold than what I actually end up flying. Vision, a small obstacle in the long run
.Edit: And does anyone know why we haven't seen the F-22 with it's external stores. I'm interested to see what it looks like.

F-22 with external stores = loss of stealth ability.
There are configurations for it though.

Thanks!!! For some reason it doesn't look like the same plane to me.

It's one and the same although this is one of test airframes likely from Edwards (note extra probe on nose with all sorts of measurment devices).
