F-22s reach Japan at last

The US Air Force's Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor has made its delayed first overseas deployment, with a detatchment of 27th Fighter Squadron aircraft from Langley AFB, Virginia having arrived at Kadena airbase in Japan from 16 February. The deployment of the 12-aircraft force was delayed by almost a week following the discovery of a navigation system software anomaly, which was rectified at Hickam AFB, Hawaii.
