Tyndall AFB Fl. is the first base to get the production aircraft. Raptor number 18 was delivered to TAFB last month. They will receive one a month till a full training squadron is formed. Tyndall will be the training base for all F/A-22 pilots. The first training class isn't expected to start for about a year from now.
Edwards AFB, Nellis AFB and Eglin AFB, have the pre production aircraft used for test, evaluation, weapons testing and capability testing. The total pre production aircraft number only about eight or ten. Langley AFB will receive the F/A-22 as the first operational squadron.
