Lockheed completes final F-22 Raptor

The final F-22 Raptor will roll off the Lockheed Martin assembly line in Marietta on Tuesday.

The F-22 is the world’s only operational 5th generation fighter, and uses a mix of stealth, advanced sensors and advanced air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons. The Air Force F-22s have recently been deployed to Japan and Guam to enhance security in the Pacific theater.

The final Raptor will be delivered to the U.S. Air Force next year, and completes the operation of the F-22 fleet of 187 fighters.
