News - First F-22 Squadron get Combat readiness

 "After nearly 20 years of development and $65 billion, the F-22 Raptor stealth fighter entered service with the U.S. Air Force in 2005. But it wasn’t until this month that the first squadron of Lockheed Martin-built F-22s was fully combat-ready with ground-mapping radars and a flexible bomb payload — standard equipment on most Air Force strike jets. The cost to bring the roughly 150 front-line Raptors up to this normal level of capability: an extra $8 billion, boosting the per-jet cost from $350 million to almost $400 million."

INTRO

Hello,my name is Fabrizio and i live in Italy.
I am an aviation enthusiast and a flight simmer. In the past years i collected pics,documents,videos about airplanes and helicopters which are difficult to see in many aviation blog,so i started to think i should create my own blog,to share some interesting stuff with other aviation fans.
I apologize for my less than perfect english, but writing in this language is the best method to reach more people.
Enjoy!
