I could be wrong (and you'll no doubt feel free to correct me!), but I believe this is the first time that both stealth fighters have been photographed and filmed in formation.
Lockheed Martin's in-house CodeOne magazine posted the photo online on 30 April with this caption: "F-35A AF-2 on Flight 119 with Maj. Scott McLaren at the controls flies in loose formation with F-22 Raptor on tanker over Isabella Mountains in California on 22 April 2011."
Until this morning, I've never seen a photo of an F-22 and F-35 together in flight -- truly, a picture worth at least 1,000 words and roughly $400 million in federal outlays.
I must say, they look good together in flight, as if they were designed to 'go' like a snappy tie and pocket square.
