Moving F-22 training to Langley would bring 28 F-22s and 16 T-38 training jets to Hampton Roads, the Air Force indicated in its environmental study. The service may also opt to retire the F-22 training planes instead of transferring the jets, amid concerns that the airframe would be vulnerable in high-tech combat with another country. Once that is done, the Air Force will decide if and when the 325th’s training unit will move to Virginia. Air Combat Command is waiting on service leadership to finish an analysis of which tactical aircraft it wants in its future inventory, including Raptors, machine gun-wielding A-10 Warthogs and F-35A Lightning II fighter jets, among others.
