F-22 Raptor

This stealth fighter's purpose is to evade enemy radar and strike early, decisive blows against protected targets. The U.S. will have to destroy or jam Libyan radar sites before the skies are clear for airplanes that are not designed with stealth features and materials. The Raptor is an unparalleled dogfighter, can attack ground targets and could fly at the tip of a strike group to jam enemy radar. Expect them to fly from the U.S. airbase in Aviano, Italy with F-16s.
