KADENA AIR BASE, Okinawa — F-22 Raptors from Langley Air Force Base in Virginia were scheduled to arrive Saturday at Kadena, according to the Air Force.
The supersonic fighters are part of two squadrons the Air Force has deployed for four months in support security throughout the Western Pacific region, a news release said.
About 12 Raptors from the 94th Fighter Squadron will train on Okinawa, the release said.
Another dozen Raptors from the 525th Squadron at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska deployed to Guam on May 13, the release said.
While training on Okinawa, the Raptors will observe 18th Wing noise abatement measures, including restricted flying hours, the release said.
More friends in the neighborhood, so no one gets ronery.
Kim Jong Il, do you hear me?
And some more to Guam from AK.
We'll be the only ones protesting. The Left already pretends that Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Somalia/Pirates no longer exist.
They'll ignore a war in North Korea, too. As long as they are in the White House, they don't care that they are displaying blatant hypocrisy from their anti-Bush days.
Meanwhile, in North Korea, the latest nuclear test explosion registered 195 decibels.
"Noise Abatement?" "Noise abatement?" "We don't need no stinking noise abatement" said Roh Dih Boat, Minister of Defense.
That is a nice thank you should let the Chinese have them.
I think thats something the Japanese insist on in order to let us use the base...
Any activity at Eilson I wonder...?
Great pics!
I hope the Raptors are cover for something we dont even know about yet.
With a name like that he should be head of the Navy - Admiral Roh Dih Boat.

Somebody’s HTML has centered this entire thread. Reminds me of the good ol’ days, lol. Didn’t think the “new” FR was susceptible to such things.
Do not know I am sure something will be posted.
The family and I spent 30 months on the rock in the early 70’s.” Noise abatement measures, including restricted flying hours”. You see Papa-san wants our “nuclear umbrella” protection from the bad guys, but very little noise and don’t wake him up too early in the morning.

94th FS “Hat in the Ring” aka “Spads”
