Päivän kuva: Yhdysvaltain ilmavoimien F-22 ilmatankkauksessa

Jani Luoto

Yhdysvaltain ilmavoimat on ainoa maa jolla on käytössään Lockheed Martinin suunnittelema ja rakentama F-22 häivehävittäjä. Vaikka monet maat ilmaisi aikanaan kiinnostuksensa kyseistä hävittäjää kohtaan jäi se silloin vain Yhdysvaltain ilmavoimien käyttöön johtuen hallinnon haluttomuudesta antaa silloin ylivoimaista teknologiaa ulkomaisten valtioiden käyttöön. Oheiset kuvat on otettu ilmatankkauksen aikana joka tapahtui pimeän laskeutuessa.
