"Zeke and the F-22 Demonstration Team do an incredible job
showcasing the Raptor's unparalleled aerial maneuverability," said
George Shultz, vice president and general manager of Lockheed
Martin's F-22 Program. "We are thrilled that the people of
the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and the employees of Lockheed

The F-22's appearance proved particularly significant for
Lockheed Martin employees working in the F-22 program at the
company's Fort Worth site, where the aircraft's mid-fuselage is
built. "Seeing the Raptor fly at Alliance was a very meaningful
opportunity for our program team here," said Michael Cawood, Fort
Worth site lead for the F-22 program. "This was the first
time they were able to enjoy the F-22 aerial demonstration in Fort
Worth. Our people take pride in helping to build, sustain and
enhance the Raptor, and in providing an unmatched capability to the
U.S. Air Force."
