8/28/2015 - SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany -- Four F-22 Raptors, one C-17 Globemaster III,
and approximately 60 Airmen arrived at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, to train with allied air forces and U.S. services through mid-September.
This first-ever F-22 training deployment to Europe is funded by the European Reassurance Initiative,
and provides support to bolster the security of our NATO Allies and partners in Europe.
The F-22s and Airmen are from the 95th Fighter Squadron, Tyndall AFB, Fla. The C-17 is from the 60th Airlift Wing, Travis AFB, Ca .
"This inaugural Raptor training deployment is the perfect opportunity for these advanced aircraft to train alongside other U.S. Air Force aircraft, joint partners, and NATO allies," said General Frank Gorenc, U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa commander.
The training will prove that 5th generation fighters can deploy successfully to European bases and other NATO installations while also affording the chance for familiarization flight training within the European theater.
It will also give them the chance to conduct combat air training with different aircraft like U.S. F-15 Eagles and F-16 Fighting Falcons.
Four F-22 Raptors, part of the Pentagon’s continued push to deter Russia, arrived Friday at Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany.
The personnel will be assigned there through mid-September and will go through exercises to show that the service’s most-advanced fighter can deploy in Europe.
The pilots will conduct combat air exercises while deployed, the Air Force said.
