Well no since it is complete fiction. The F-22 was not declared ready
for operational use in Dec 2007. The first overseas deployment was to
Kadena AFB in Japan as I recall. This is the probably the source of this
rumour as the flight revealed a software fault which crashed the
navigation system. The aircraft followed their tanker back to the base.
All six aircraft landed safely.
