LO keeps Raptors off radars
LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. -- Senior Airman Victor Sylvan, 1st Equipment Maintenance Squadron low observable aircraft structural maintenance journeymen, removes a panel from an F-22 Raptor in preparation to apply low observable coatings. Low observable is the process of a coating stack being applied on an F-22 that makes it invisible to radar, and allowing the aircraft to remain undetected, removing of the panels is one of the many steps in the LO process.
