F-22s from the 27th & 94th FS back in Europe (RAF Lakenheath, UK) for "Raptor Redeploy 19-1" on 5 Otcober 2018. They returned from US Central Command AOR and will stay at Lakenheath for a short time to conduct training with allied forces and will demonstrate the US commitment to allied European nations in deploying assets to deter possible adversary threats.

Nice angle from the Canadian Cold Lake Air Show in July 2018 that I like.

A little different perspective from basher's earlier post:

F-22 Raptors from the 199th Fighter Squadron and 19th Fighter Squadron arrive at the Kona International Airport, Oct. 11, 2018. Normally based at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on the island of Oahu, the Hawaiian Raptors along with maintenance and support personnel were in Kona conducting logistics capabilities training should the aircraft be diverted to alternate airfields in the Hawaiian Islands. The occasion marked the first time the stealthy aircraft have been on the island of Hawaii.

Note the 4 F-18s from China Lake that participated in the exercise behind the F-22s. They know their place.

Whiteman's B-2s and Hawaii's F-22s conducting interoperability training on 15 January 2019 (over Diamond Head State Monument, HI) .

Very formidable package.
