Two F-22 Raptors take off during a sortie surge from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, June 6, 2015. Pilots of the F-22 from the Hawaii Air National Guard’s 199th Fighter Squadron and the 19th Fighter Squadron teamed up with maintenance Airmen from the 154th Wing and 15th Maintenance Group to launch and recover 62 Raptors in a day. The increase in sorties tested the flying capability of the total force integration squadron known as the Hawaiian Raptors. ( Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
