News Video Feed: United States Air Force Clears F-22A Raptor Fighter Aircrafts for Combat Saturday January 14, 12:30 pm ET NEW YORK, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- General Ronald E. Keys, Commander of Air Combat Command, has announced that the F-22A Raptor, the world's only 5th generation fighter aircraft, surpassed a monumental milestone today when the United States Air Force declared that the Raptor has reached initial operational capability. The General made the historic announcement at Langley Air Force Base, VA. The F-22 Raptor's unique combination of stealth, speed, agility, situational awareness, air-to-ground and air-to-air combat capabilities make it unlike any other military aircraft in the world, increasing a pilot's ability to engage targets with unmatched awareness. Rated "Overwhelmingly Effective" by the USAF during Initial Operational Test and Evaluation, the Raptor is three times more effective than the F-15. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060114/nysa001.html?.v=35

With this "war on terror" stuff going on, we should see some actual battleground results pretty soon.
