The 477th Fighter Group is Air Force Reserve Command's first F-22A Raptor unit. 

The 477th FG was originally established in May 1943 as a bombardment group to train the legendary World War II aviators known as the Tuskegee Airmen. 

The men and women of the 477th FG are integrated with their active duty Air Force partners in most F-22A mission areas increasing efficiency and overall combat capability while retaining Reserve administrative support and career enhancement.
