Two proposals were submitted with the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor being selected as the new Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF). The aircraft is constructed using 39% titanium, 24% composite material, 16% aluminum and 1% thermoplastic by weight. All these components contribute to the F-22 being a light weight, extremely maneuverable, extremely fast aircraft that uses stealth technology. The F-22 is also capable of ground attack, electronic warfare and signals intelligence. The 477th FG was reactivated in October 2007 in Alaska as the only Air Force Reserve unit there. This became the Air Force Reserve Command’s first F-22 Raptor unit. In 2011 work was under way to have one of the F-22s painted with “Spirit of Tuskegee” on the tail to honor the Tuskegee Air Men 332 nd FG “Red Tails” and the 477 th BG who flew 1,578 missions and 15,533 sorties, destroyed 261 enemy aircraft, and won more than 850 medals. In 2013 07-4147 became the flagship and was shown with the scheme.
