Had 05-4088 & 05-4106 both served with the 3rd WG at Elmendorf AFB before making the move to Holloman AFB.
Thanks |

| Can anyone confirm the 8th FS will indeed be the second HO Raptor squadron? I had initially heard 7/8th were the two, But have saw 7/9th referenced other places, sporatically. |

Jesus does that Raptor look sexy as hell in that profile.  |

| The 8th and 9th FS of the 49th FW were inactivated last year, only the 7th FS "Screamin' Demons" remains, now equipped with the Raptor. |

It will be the 7th FS & 8th FS unless things have changed. HTH |

| Nope. Only the Screamin' Demons would be the sole Raptor squadron @ Holloman. |

Then why are the 8th FS listed as F-22 operators on the official F-22 Team Website?
http://www.f22-raptor.com/media/raptor_ops.html
Note the other future operators are 199th listed as well. There are to be seven combat squadrons for 126 combat coded jets: 7th, 8th, 27th, 90th, 94th, 199th and 525th.

The 531st is an associate active duty squadron to the 199th who "owns" the jets. The 301st, 302nd, and 192nd are associate reserve/guard squadrons to active duty squadrons. The 199th is the only guard unit to have the F-22.

They were painted up in 90th FS markings when delivered from the factory- however, they never made it to Elmendorf- as they moved directly from Langley to Holloman. |

You mean the first Holloman F-22s had AK tailcodes?
AK = Eielson & Elmendorf AFBs. |
