There's a preliminary list for US basing, but which overseas bases should get them?

For now, F-22s are being deployed to Kadena Air Base in Japan, and it will be the first overseas deployment for the F-22.

As far as other F-22 overseas basing, I don't think any others have been announced as of yet, and I doubt anyone in-the-know will tell either until the AF officially declares it.

There was talk of Guam getting some. Technically Alaska is overseas and they are getting their first real soon.

A lot depends on the final number of raptors purchased I s'pose, but so far the only bases mentioned are Langley, Holloman, Tyndall, Elmendorf and Hickam. I'd heard of a det at Guam as well.
