Spartan Week Gold Star family tour

A U.S. Air Force Airman assigned to the 525th Aircraft Maintenance Unit, talks about the 5th-generation stealth capabilities of an F-22 Raptor with a Gold Star family during a base tour at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, May 21, 2026. Willard highlighted how the aircraft's specialized radar-absorbent materials and structural design minimize its radar cross-section to maintain air superiority. This joint-base event brought together Army and Air Force personnel to offer support, fellowship and technical insight to families of fallen service members.
