The YF-22 Lightning II is a prototype fighter aircraft built by Lockheed Martin and Boeing for the Advanced Tactical Fighter competition.
History[]
The YF-22 was first operated in the Skully Islands insurrection by both the insurrection and the Scarface Squadron. It was the choice of aircraft for Hal, a member of the Scarface Squadron.[1]
Since the F-22A Raptor superseded the YF-22 in Assault Horizon Legacy, the YF-22's deployment in the Usean coup d'état is considered to be non-canon in Strangereal's history.

Trivia[]
- In Air Combat and Ace Combat 2 the plane is called the F-22, even though the plane is actually the YF-22.
- Before the release of Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy, there were some issues regarding the Lightning II's appearance following the release of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, in which the fully-developed F-22A Raptor was used instead. This is strange seeing that the Raptor was used in the Belkan War while the Lightning II was used during the Usean coup d'état in the Ace Combat 2 continuity.
- The 'F-22' designation was likely meant to refer to the production variant, which was first shown in Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies. With the release of Assault Horizon Legacy, the Lightning II's appearance in Ace Combat 2 is considered non-canonical.
Color 4 from Ace Combat: Joint Assault
- One of the F-22A Raptor's alternate paint schemes in some games are based on the YF-22.
- In Ace Combat 2, there is a texture glitch associated with the Enemy Type A YF-22; The jet nozzles on the craft are transparent, allowing one to see through it. None of the other textures have this issue. This is most easily seen in the Model Viewer.
