And finally: HUGE pic

 

Look how there's lots of little imperfections and dirty spots on these planes. Especially telling IMO is that last raptor pic where you can clearly see how dirty the entire underside gets with all the small vents and exhaust ports, and also around the gear doors.

 

One issue I have with Raptor pics in general is that pretty much all of them seem to be from desert-type climates where there's lots of dust but not much in the way of humidity, so we have no real idea how a Raptor weathers in a temperate climate.

Mainly because it's from the West USA (Nellis mainly I think). AFAIK none are overseas, stationed and definitely not around these parts (Afghanistan).

I was talking about different weather conditions, and if you click over "Kadena's Raptors" in my previous post you get a very nice picture :grin:
