Tropic Tundra 2025
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Isaiah Eyeland, support section noncommissioned officer in charge assigned to the 90th Fighter Generation Squadron, salutes a pilot operating a U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor before takeoff during Exercise Tropic Tundra at a remote location in Alaska, June 3. The F-22 is an American twin-engine, all-weather, supersonic stealth fighter aircraft and provides power projection across the Indo-Pacific region. Airmen assigned to the 673d Air Base Wing and 3rd Wing came together to form the 3rd Air Expeditionary Wing during the exercise, testing and training their ability to receive and launch F-22 Raptor aircraft in austere locations and execute Agile Combat Employment techniques in preparations for Exercise Resolute Force Pacific.
