Forum: F-22A Raptor

If the F-22 did not fit into NATO hangars then you can't deploy it outside the US unless you want to park it out in the sun.
Not a good idea when you forward deploy it to say the Middle East.
A place where in some areas if you leave the plane outside for more than a day you'll end up with sand inside the engines.

There are any number of things that trouble me about the F-22 and F-35 programs that trouble me.
To date any assumption about the F-22's combat performance and mission availability is just that.
Assumptions.
The tests it has undergone to date may not be accurate measures of its future performance and it's mission availability rates.
Just look at the Air force’s record with the ABM program where they placed GPS beacons on the missile's target in order to help the missile find the target among other "finger on the scale" actions in order to get the missile to pass it's tests.

The same may or may not be the case with the F-22 and the F-35.
