Rapid Raptor: getting fighters to the fight
An F-22 Raptor assigned to the 90th Fighter Squadron takes off on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Feb. 10, 2014, during Exercise Polar Force 14-2. During the exercise, the 3rd Wing practiced the new rapid raptor strategy that will enable combat-ready F-22s to rapidly refuel, rearm and redeploy. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Sheila deVera)
