The long-awaited F/A-22 Raptor fighter jets will not arrive at Langley
Air
Force Base until next May -about five months later than previously
planned.

Has any other aircraft program ever been delayed this much and still
gotten
full scale production?

-HJC

What makes you believe 'full scale production'? What is being planned now
is but a fraction of the original 'full scale'.

And at almost $200 million a piece! But at least this aircraft lives
up to its name "Raptor"- a dinosaur... which should get Congressional
extinction!
By the time full production is achieved the aircraft won't amount to
any significant number, not being able to replace the F-15 by any
means.
