3 years ago the Air Force changed the name of the Raptor from an F-22
to the F/A-22. Yesterday they reversed their decision and announced it
will now be called the F-22A. This change has already been reflected
in the Air Force Fact Sheet on the Raptor (although it looks like they
missed one of the F/A-22 designations in the 3rd paragraph):

In other Raptor news, yesterday marked the first time it dropped a JDAM
while supersonic:
