Description :
Eight handpicked pilots and approximately 100 experienced maintainers and engineers of Detachment 6 at Edwards AFB, California, will put the F/A-22 through its paces later this year in a progression of tests called Dedicated Initial Operational Test and Evaluation, or DIOT&E. The tests will ascertain the operational suitability and effectiveness of the Air Force’s latest fighter and produce a final report on the Raptor for the US Secretary of Defense.
Code One editor Eric Hehs visited with two of the pilots chosen to conduct these tests. Lt. Col. William Sor and Capitain Phoenix Johnson (That's me as you know !^^), both F-22 pilots and Fighter Weapons School graduates, have completed several operational assignments in the Eagle. Sor is the operations officer for the group. His previous assignments include a stint at Air Combat Command headquarters where he helped develop F/A-22 requirements and tactics. He gained operational test experience with the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron at Nellis AFB, Nevada. Well, I'm the assistant operations officer. He previously flew at Kadena and Mountain Home AFB operationally and acquired operational test experience at the 85th Test and Evaluation Squadron at Eglin AFB, Florida. Both pilots have more than 2,000 hours in the F-22.
Yay !
