F-22 explosive test
The 780th Test Squadron detonates an AIM-120 warhead to determine the necessary parking distance of F-22s in the event of an explosion. To accomplish the test, the squadron places other live AIM-120 and an AIM-9 on nearby stands to determine if they would withstand an explosion. The testers concluded no chain reaction would take place and F-22s parking distance could be reduced. (Courtesy photo)
