Air power purchasing process continues to improve
                Working alongside the manufacturer, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, during production of the F-22 Raptor, Air Combat Command's Raptor Acceptance Team is a geographically separated unit whose mission is to provide gaining units with "ready to fight" F-22s. It is estimated that the Air Force will save $119 million by pre-accepting the Raptor, such as the two pictured here, throughout the current contractual agreement.(U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt.
