Wanna see something interesting--

Get a copy of Google earth personal edition ( or the trial edition of the pro version, would be better). Go to Tyndall Airforce Bace outside of Panama City Beach, Fl. Check out the amazing numbers of F/A 22s lined up on the runway.

screenshots!


please?

These are the ones I think.

How many billions of dollars of planes sitting there????
Not smart to be all massed together!!!

Are you sure those are F/A-22's? They look more like a bunch of F-15's to me. You can see the right angle's on all the wings soooo that seems to discount the Raptor....no?

At least the first pic are F-22s. The wingtips are different from an Eagle, and if you zoom it the tails are angled outward, unlike the Eagle. The top view of the F-22 and the F-15 are similar, but there are small but noticable differences.

Those ARE F-15's. Tyndall is the home of the F-15 Pilot Training for the Air Force after the pilot's recieve their plane and assignment at the completion of UPT(Undergraduate Pilot Training).

Tyndal is also hosting the F-22s as well.

In 2002, the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) received F-22 aircraft to establish advanced pilot training and begin qualifying F-22 fighter pilots to fly the F-22. To accomplish this training, AETC will establish two training squadrons at Tyndall AFB, Florida. First flight and delivery of Raptor 4018 to Tyndall AFB are tentatively scheduled for early 2003. Tyndall AFB is home to the Air Force's 325th Fighter Wing, the "schoolhouse" where future F-22 pilots will be trained to fly and fight in this 21st century air dominance fighter. The first squadron will be developed from 2003 through 2008, with most of the aircraft available for training by 2004. A second squadron would be established in 2007 and 2008. Members of these squadrons will complete advanced F-22 pilot training to fly and successfully perform the academic work and flying skills necessary to achieve instructor status. A number of these new instructor pilots will be assigned to operational units that will receive F-22s, such as the proposed Initial F-22 Operational Wing. Some will also become WS instructors. By 2004, a sufficient number of qualified pilots will be ready to comprise the first squadron of the Initial F-22 Operational Wing.

Those are all F-15s. I don't know what tyndall hosts but all of them definitely look like F-15s.... to me
No really.. all of them F-15s.. 100% sure

The protrusion of the exhaust nozzle tubes that begin at thepoint where the cockpit protrusion settles into the fuselage are a dead give away..

Also the wings have a very definite cut at their tips common to no other a/c..



If you want a raptor from googleearth this is the one(the one on top side):
I've found only one till now..

That one on the upper right is definately NOT an F-15. If you zoom the pics in Paintshop you can see that there are differences that aren't on an F-15. The tails are angled in at least the ones on the top pic and the wingtips are too narrow.

which pic are you talking about..The last one with 2 jets?.. yeah the top one is an F-22..the lower one is an F-15..
Thats at Edwards AFB
All the others are F-15s..at tyndall..Those nozzle tubes are a trademeark F-15 thing..

F-22 ain't got such nozzle tube protrusions on the fuselage.. Here the nozzle tubes are more or less through-n-through..
And the F-22 wings.. can't miss that trademark anywhere..





Maybe you're being deceived by the "tyndall effect"..

Sorry just had the say that.. too relevant to the topic at hand to ignore..

For those who don't know abt the tyndall effect:
en.wikipedia.org...

Whooo! Eagles.

Cool, but, like, so?..

I completely disagree with that. Not only are all the planes on the photo's F-15's but the differences between the F-15 and F-22 are really big and obvious. At least to me they are.

Did you mean the one on the extreme right hand side of ther back row on the first picture was an F-22?

It is just an F-15 like the rest of them but there is a degree of distortion on the picture. On the F-22 the fins are over the wings, you can easily see on that picture that none of the planes on it has that feature, and thats only one feature that discounts it being an F-22.

Thats what I was thinking F-15's. the Google Earth Community marked them as F-22's

I put the images under a 10x power handheld mag. glass and found just too many right angles for the to be groups of F-22's I'd have to agree that they appear to be a bunch of F-16's. I could see that many '16' s being on a flight line but as far as that many F-22's on a flight line like that would be way too many " eggs in the same basket" for what they cost. I also think that they would not put that many elite planes i the same area let alone on a flight line as such. I would have to bet on them being F-16's until I had further evidence IMHO

F-15s you mean.. Not 16s..

More plagued by this tyndall effect!!

Anyone got a high-res version of the shot?

I see you have drakes equation as your signature..
Isn't it?
I think I 've seen that somewhere else....

LOL, Use your bloody EYES man!

How obvious does it need to be what type of plane they are? I wouldn't want you as my wing man.

I tell you all the jets at thetyndall AFB are obscured by the
TYNDALL EFFECT, but nobody seems to pay attention to my mad rantings!!!

Can't anyone appreciate a really pathetic joke..
