It's an F/A-22 Raptor
[edit]
Original source, as you can see in the comments, said this was an F/A-22 Raptor. Someone changed it to F-15 Eagle. Changing it back here and on en, though possibly this F-15 comment got propagated to all the other languages' Wikipedias. Tempshill 21:17, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- The aircraft apears to be the front section of an F-15, minus nose-cone. Note the wedge-shaped air intake. However, I surmise that the seat being tested is for the F-22, thus the confusion. We ought to find the original caption, and quote it directly. - 68.53.215.89 22:28, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
