Raptors launch for Red Flag-Alaska 20-3

A U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor assigned to the 3rd Wing takes off during RED FLAG-Alaska 20-3 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Aug. 12, 2020. RED FLAG-Alaska is a Pacific Air Forces-directed field training exercise in which aircrews fly under simulated air combat conditions. This allows those involved to improve interoperability through the exchange of tactics, techniques and procedures. RF-A 20-3 was adapted to execute the training needed to maintain mission readiness and lethality while mitigating the potential spread of COVID-19.
