A few days ago, I stumbled upon these cool photos showing the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II (both built by Lockheed Martin) flying together on training missions. Pretty awesome... The F-35 (specifically the 'B' variant, which will be flown by the U.S. Marine Corps) is set to become operational by late next year, while the Raptor saw it first use in combat two months ago in Syria. The best of American air power is now flying in tandem through the wild blue yonder!
