The F-22 Raptor won’t make its European debut at this summer’s Paris Air Show, according to U.S. Air Force officials, who say that such a deployment would force them to cancel 40 to 50 pilot-training sorties.

But Maj. Paul Moga, the service’s F-22A demonstration pilot, said the stealthy supercruiser might show up at the Dubai show in November.

The Raptors are based at Langley Air Force Base, Va.
