The first day of the 2024 International Air and Space Fair (FIDAE) came to an end, leaving many unforgettable moments in the memories of those who attended Santiago’s Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. One of these moments was, undoubtedly, the display of the U.S. Air Force’s stealth fighters, the F-22 Raptors.

As reported days ago, upon their arrival in Santiago, Chile, two fifth-generation fighters from the USAF’s F-22 Demo Team are participating in a series of aerial demonstrations and exhibitions at FIDAE 2024. Here, the Raptor showcases the virtues of its design, based on its superb agility, stealth, and speed.
