F-22s' historical fly with Blue Angles

BEAUFORT, S.C. - In a historic moment for aviation, the F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team flew alongside the Navy’s Blue Angels in a rare formation over the skies of Beaufort, S.C., on April 25. The two aerial demonstration teams joined together during the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort air show to showcase never-before-seen images of both the F-22 Raptor and F/A-18 Hornet. “This formation represents more than just the seven jets captured on camera,” said Maj. Paul Lopez, F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team commander. “It is a representation of the professionalism and excellence that every service member portrays in the United States military.” The concept for this unique formation began as an idea between two former squadron-mates who both share a passion for aviation.
