Capt. Chris Batterton aggressively banks his F-22A Raptor during a basic fighting maneuver training mission off the Virginia coast in January 2006. The captain is with the 27th Fighter Squadron, the Air Force's first unit to fly the Raptor. The 1st Fighter Wing declared initial operational capability last month, making the Air Force's fifth generation fighter ready to fight.
