Raptors arrive to the Keystone of the Pacific

A U.S. Air Force crew chief assigned to the 19th Aircraft Maintenance Unit conducts post flight checks on an F-22A Raptor operated by the 199th and 19th Fighter Squadrons at Kadena Air Base, Japan, March 28, 2024. As the 18th Wing continues the phased return of Kadena’s fleet of F-15C/D Eagles, the Department of Defense will maintain a steady-state fighter presence in the Indo-Pacific region by temporarily deploying aircraft to maintain deterrence capabilities and added flexibility in a dynamic theater.
