F-22 mission brief September 2008 says that Raptor 4131, the first lot 7 jet, rolled off the assembly line in August, with an expected delivery later this year. But Raptor #4131 is not first of Lot #7, last of #6.

Refer to www.f-22-raptor.com/media/fast_facts, April 30, 2007, "131 F-22 Raptors under contract through Lot 6."


Meanwhile, Raptor #4132 is a test aircraft.

Refer to www.ttcdas.com/newsroom/press%20releases/f22.htm, November 2006, "The RTA aircraft (Raptor 4132) is configured to allow tests of various hardware, as well as avionics, while validating the flying qualities and structural integrity of modified aircraft to the production baseline configuration."


Maybe the first of multi-year contrat Lot 7 20 aircrafts is Raptor #4133.

Hmm i've been trying to figure this out for a while now. The F-16.net batabase shows that the last lot 6 aircraft is #4126...but i have a picture of 4129 at elmendorf having gone to the 525th.... This was before the first lot 7 aircraft had rolled. Does anyone know where any of the Ac from 127 through 133 are? also if 132 is a test aircraft where will it go? edwards or stay at lockheed? If it is "validating flying qualities" it is clearly not a static test bird...

I would agree even if someone says that the first of lot 7 is Raptor 4132.

Because Lot 7 order aircrafts are 21 all, multi-year contract 20 plus 1 tester.
