The photograph of an F-22 is interesting for several reasons.
First of all, it shows a Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor stealth jet taking off to take part in the U.S. and allied offensive against ISIS in Syria on the night of September 23, when the US Air Force's 5th generation fighter plane had its baptism by fire.
Despite the low quality, the shot is worth a mention as it is one of the very few images you will find on the Internet showing an F-22 at night partly lit up by its green formation lights. In fact, although it may sound weird, there are not many shots depicting the Raptor at night. You can find more F-35 night photographs than F-22 ones.
So, enjoy a barely visible Raptor (and notice the stealth plane’s formation lights switched on) as it departs from Al Dhafra for a strike mission in Syria.
