A three-ship of F-22 Raptors fly over the Pacific Ocean Jan. 28. The Raptors are deployed from Elmendorf AFB, Alaska, to the 90th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron at Andersen AFB, Guam. Andersen received 12 of the $140 million dollar aircraft and more than 250 Airmen have arrived at the base for a three-month deployment as part of the Pacific's Theater Security Package. The stealth-fighters, along with associated maintenance and support personnel will participate in various exercises that provide routine training in an environment different from their home station.
