That is an amazing picture. They definitely have the best seat in the house. Any chance there is a higher-res version (1920w or larger)? (I'm shopping for a new desktop wallpaper.)

I take it that is done for security purposes? Has that always been standard operating procedure or just post-9/11?

Cool pic. What is the purpose of the Raptor being up in the air during launch?

If you click on the picture it will open a new window with the high resolution version. . . Looks perfect on my desktop. . . I was getting sick of seeing Paris at night on my secondary monitor.

Great more space junk going up... just as some comes down.

Is a cool pic... I still like the F-15 Eagle, course I'm also a fan of the B-52 BUFF.

For anyone going to the Florida regional:
A shuttle is scheduled to launch that Wednesday/ Thursday at 1AM. We are going to try to see it.

JSF's official designation is the F-35 Lightning II. (The original Lightning name went to the WWII-era P-38.) The Raptor (pictured) is the F-22.

According to the caption, it's for air cover.

The translation is that if anything is in the air that shouldn't be there (other than birds), the F-22's job is to escort it out of the area, or else send it to the ground in pieces/flames.

That's sick. The F-22 is bomb.

I can't wait until the USN/USMC gets upgraded from F-18's.

Isn't the Navy getting the JSF and not the F-22?

I think every branch is getting some version of the F-35. Navy has different needs than USAF; e.g. arrestor hooks.

Yup, F-35 is the replacement for F-18.

F-35 = Compact car
F-22 = Ferrari
