Fifth Generation Fighter Posters — 3 museum-grade prints on the theme. The Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor emerged from the USAF Advanced Tactical Fighter program as the first operational fifth-generation fighter, combining low-observable shaping, supercruise without afterburner, and thrust-vectoring maneuverability. Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Hampton, Virginia — one of America's oldest continuously active air bases — became the first operational home when the 27th and 94th Fighter Squadrons under the 1st Fighter Wing transitioned from the F-15 Eagle. The Sukhoi Su-57 — PAK FA programme airframe, NATO reporting name Felon — entered limited serial production as Russia's first claimed fifth-generation fighter, combining stealth shaping, supercruise-capable AL-41F1 engines, internal weapons bays for R-77 and R-74 family missiles, and distributed aperture sensing. The 929th State Flight Test Centre named for V. Norway's F-35A procurement replaced the F-16 as the backbone of Luftforsvaret fighter aviation, with 332 Skvadron at Ørland Air Station under 132 Luftving carrying the first operational Norwegian Lightnings. The CTOL variant Norway selected includes a drag chute for short and icy runway operations — a detail unique among many F-35A export customers and suited to Scandinavian basing.
