05-4100 is still marked AK but may be on its way to HO? It is currently at Nellis on Red Flag!

4108 and 4110 are 525 birds. 4137-4151 are 90th jets.

Thanks for the updates. Anymore, please add here.

Is 4151 FY07 or FY08 please?

For the record; especially given the premature shut-down of F-22 fleet procurement, I have a personal problem with annoucing and updating play-by-play, strategic F-22 tail numbers and deployments, etc...

Perhaps USAF would concur? Maybe I'm just misreading it.

Everyone already knows how many are being produced and tail (code/block) numbers are public domain...especially considering both the Air Force and Lockheed Martin release them and sometimes update that information online. No one has posted anything concerning deployments here.

There's nothing "strategic" about tail numbers. If this were the case then why aren't we concerned about the extensive F-16 tail number data base on here?

I'm just suggesting that perhaps we should wait(?) for USAF to make those numbers 'public' as you say, and not try to advise ourselves beforehand?

Absolutely there is a tactical interest, regarding the actual tail-number/inter-squadron changing??

Especially with a preamature shut-down, small number combat-coded force to work with.. Thats all.

There's no difference knowing Raptor tail numbers compared to Vipers or eagles or warthogs....... Numbers of PAI have nothing to do with it. Like checksixx said, LM and the AIR FORCE its self have already released tail numbers and locations. Nothing was posted about deployments or TDYs or anything of that sort. Not to mention strategic and tactical are two totally different things. And no, knowing tail numbers at bases is not going to be a huge strategic loss for us and lose the war. What the Air Force doesn't tell you is what tail numbers are where at any one time (spares, loans, BAI) and what they're doing there. That's where things differ. Knowing which tails are assigned to which base is not an issue. If the Air Force didn't want you to know assigned bases/tail nubers, there would be no base codes OR serial numbers painted on the tails.

Hi,

seen on FENCE CHECK website, 05-4104 with HO markings (RED FLAG 10)

and what happens with 07-4132 ? Impossible finding markings ...
thanks for your hepl !!

I believe 07-4132 to be at Edwards but no visual confirmation yet.

Here's confimation of 4104 being an HO bird

Which Squadron she gone to as the badge has been painted over.

The Holloman crew have been getting some of Langley's jets as Langley recieves new Raptors.
