In April, an F-22 Raptor took off for the first time in more than a year after its landing gear collapsed on the flight line.
Virginia Air National Guardsmen oversaw most of the rebuild, which included a new landing gear, flight control surface for the right wing, and a new wing tip.
More than a year after its landing gear collapsed on the flight line at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, an F-22 Raptor took to the skies for the first time last month thanks to Virginia Air National Guard maintainers.
Airmen from the 192nd Maintenance Group were able to get the fifth-generation jet, tail number 85, up and running for its first flight back April 9, according to a news release.

For nearly 40 years, the Weld County Triceratops – affectionately known as “Pops” has been stuck in an awkward spot for a fossil of its stature. A dinosaur for the people, Pops has been a very public figure, on display behind glass in various county buildings. Yet the most complete horned dinosaur skull ever found in Colorado had never been thoroughly examined by paleontologists it was essentially lost to science.
Thanks to a new agreement between Weld County leadership and researchers at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, that has now changed.
