Air Superiority Grey Wall Art

Air Superiority Grey — 2 museum-grade prints in this palette. The Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor emerged from the USAF Advanced Tactical Fighter program as the first operational fifth-generation fighter, combining low-observable shaping, supercruise without afterburner, and thrust-vectoring maneuverability. Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Hampton, Virginia — one of America's oldest continuously active air bases — became the first operational home when the 27th and 94th Fighter Squadrons under the 1st Fighter Wing transitioned from the F-15 Eagle. The F-15 Eagle holds a perfect air-to-air combat record in Israeli and USAF service — more than one hundred kills with zero losses in aerial combat, a statistic that made the Eagle the benchmark every rival fighter was measured against during the late Cold War. The NOT A POUND FOR AIR-TO-GROUND design philosophy, quoted on the plate, reflected a USAF conviction that dedicated air-superiority machines would deter Soviet numerical advantage.
