Greetings to all the Freeper Canteeners out there, it's time for the Friday Flyby. Tonight i have a few pictures of the latest operational USAF fighter, the F-22 Raptor. So on with the pics.

First up a rather different version of the obligatory head-on picture.

Next up a nice inflight shot of the Raptor.

A hat tip to William Gilson, aka Maple1, for this pic and the inspiration for tonights Flyby.

The F-22 is caught here in flight over the USAF Academy.

A Raptor demonstrates the firing of a Sidewinder missle.

And to close out tonights Flyby we have this picture of the F-22 and an A-10 heading off into the sunset.

Well we hope everybody had a great Thanksqiving Day and haves a great weekend. As alfa6 Sr has made it up for the Turkey Day replies may be light tonight.

Regards

alfa6 ;>}
