Very nice, three updates for me! Anyone got any more updates as terms of brand new airframes?

I got close enough a few months ago to see a few newer jets assigned to the 94th.
Tail numbers 08 160 08 166 08 168 all had spads on the top of the tail.
The other tails that I was able to see already have their squadron assignments listed in the database.
Hopefully EOR will be able to get some of his usual great shots at the next red flag starting on monday since langley raptors will be there.
Speaking of which, the 27th left on friday heading his way. A 4 ship left in the morning without a tanker escort although I'm sure they met up with somebody. 8 more left in the afternoon with 2 kc-10s from McGuire.
Even though it's the 27th that is participating, they probably took some 94th birds with them too. You know how it is. Wink

It will be interesting to see how they do since this is the first red flag that raptors have been in since the grounding last year. They have been doing alot of night flying and practicing A R over the last month so let's keep our fingers crossed.

(now ex WA) 00-4017 popped up today wearing a TY code

USAF F-22A block 10 no. 00-4017 from the 433rd WPS is seen departing from Nellis AFB on April 12th, 2012. Note the tail code change for Tyndall AFB.

I not have an almost complete database. All im missing are airframes 177, 183, 184, 189 and 190. Anyone know where these birds are or are going?

190 went to the 90th at Elmendorf

I understand that 177, 183, 184 and 189 went to Langley.

No idea Asif, sorry.

I have updated all the DD250 dates in the serial database. I'm going through my records again to see if any are missing.

Had a question in regards to the difference between DD250 and acceptance into the Air Force. Is there a difference. Always wanted to know what happens between the DD250 date and when squadron takes ownership.

BTW, we are still missing a bunch of squadron assignments.

Can anybody confirm the current jets carrying the following special markings please?

1OG?
94FS? 10-4194 perhaps?

Regards and thanks

You are correct sir, 10 4194 is the new 94th FS flagship.

As far as 1OG is concerned I'd like to know that myself. 04 071 is the last jet that I'm aware of that carried it on it's tail. As a matter of fact, the last year it was based at Langley before it was transferred to the weapons sq at Nellis, 071 wasn't carring 1OG on it's tail either. Shrug

This shot was taken in september of 2010 and 04 071 just had regular tail markings, no 1st OG. She moved to nellis 6 months later.

Here is a shot of 10 194 in february still in its primer returning from a test flight over georgia.

Thanks for the confirmation of 94FS jbash Smile

.

Anyone for the 1OG please?

Regards

Mark

1st OG is possibly 09-185?

Regards

Mark

09-185 is one of the newer raptors I have not seen yet. Several of the newer jets that were delivered over the past year are currently deployed at the guard combat training center in Savannah Ga. A friend of mine who lives not too far from there said there has been alot of people doing some spotting near the base. Alot of the people down there have never seen the f-22 live before now. Let's hope they get some good pictures and post them on the net.

BTW raameagle , apparently 04 071 only carried the 1st OG in 2006 and 07. Here's a picture from May of 2008 and as you can see 1OG had already been taken off.

One of my friends has logged the F-22s at Savannah and has confirmed the following:

4192 = 192FW
4194 = 94FS

The next three are NOT confirmed:

[4162] = 1FW?
[4172] = 27FS?
[4185] = 1OG?
