KADENA, Japan (AP) _ The arrival in Japan of a detachment of the United States' newest and most expensive fighter has been delayed.
The twelve F-22 stealth fighters were to arrive on Kadena Air Base on this southern Japan base on Saturday, but had to turn back after leaving Hawaii.
It is the aircraft's first overseas deployment.
Officials at Kadena and at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii were unable to immediately confirm why the arrival was delayed.

Very strange
I saw a story this weekend about the F-22 being put on hold while a certain computer chip is replaced. Apparently it failed during tests for operating in severely cold weather.
