At the time that I got to see this Air Force F-22 Raptor fighter plane outside the hangar with a bunch of other visitors during the Chicago Air and Water Show, parts of it were still considered classified. We were told we would not be allowed to photograph the plane from behind, so this is the front facing legit shot.

The Chicago Air Show, which is part of the Chicago Air and Water Show, uses the GaryChicago International Airport in Gary, Indiana for staging the annual festival. Almost all of the planes featured at the Chicago Air Show fly in and out of Gary. These photos were taken from the tarmac during the 2008 Chicago Air and Water Show.
