The Hawaii Air National Guard F-22 Raptors prepare for take off at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Sept. 26, 2015. In 2010, the 199th Fighter Squadron converted to the F-22 from the F-15 Eagle and began flying the Raptors in partnership with the 19th Fighter Squadron. The Hawaiian Raptors are deploying to the CENTCOM area of responsibility. This is the first combat deployment for the 199th Fighter Squadron since it deployed to Saudi Arabia in 2000 to patrol the southern no-fly zone of Iraq.
