Them are my planes! I use to work on F22s when I was in the AirForce, The tail numbers on those planes belong to the base where I was stationed.

This is all I could think of when reading/writing about the truck:

Tyndall AFB

Tyndall AFB

That is where those planes are from, but judging from the background the pics where not taken there. The one pic with the snow topped mountains might be Alaska, The US does have F22s there.

I think the pictures were from Wittman Regional in Oshkosh where the show was taking place at. I'm not sure about the mountain picture, although it looks like it was put together digitally. It does look like Elemendorf though.

I know it not at Tyndall. I live in PC and see the F22s regularly. And that mountain picture does look photoshopped.

 

[ShawnPhillips]

The truck is definitely photoshoped into the mountain pic. But the background is Elmendorf AFB in Alaska. you can just see the tip of the "AK" above the tail number. It is the only place I know of where the US has F22s and snow topped mountains.

I don't normally like fourbies, but man this one was pretty cool.
