The Lockheed Martin facility in Marietta, Ga., is home to the final assembly line for the F-22 Raptor, the world's only 5th Generation fighter in full rate production. The Marietta workforce is joined by more than 25,000 Americans in 44 states making up the industrial base behind the most advanced fighter in history. More than 100 F-22 Raptors are flying at five bases across the nation and will be the nation's air dominance vanguard for the next four decades. In June, Raptors begin arriving at their next new home, Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.
