Members of the 574th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron watch as Major Philip “Stonewall” Johnson, 514th Flight Test Squadron, accelerates F-22 Raptor 037 down the active runway on October 11, at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, for a functional check flight after an extensive 7-year engineering and repair effort on the aircraft. On May 31, 2012, the aircraft was damaged at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, during touch and go pilot training. It was determined that repairing the aircraft was worth the effort due to the limited number of the fifth generation aircraft. ( Air Force photo by Alex R. Lloy
