The F-22 Raptor, the world's premier air superiority fighter jet, will participate in the Robins Air Force Base Air Show and Open House April 28-29.

Base organizers say the Raptor "joins a growing list of static displays, performers and exhibitors who will entertain attendees throughout the busy weekend."

The F-22,the Air Force's newest operational fighter, features state-of-the-art package containing stealth, supercruise, maneuverability and integrated avionics.

The Robins press release said the Raptor is "capable of performing air-to-air and air-to-ground missions and includes a sleek aerodynamic design, increased thrust, advanced flight controls and a combination of sensor capability, situational awareness and weapons."

The free, two-day air show will feature the Navy's Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron. Gates will open at 10 a.m. each day with aerial performances beginning about noon.
