United States Forces Japan commander Lt. Gen. Edward Rice and Japan Air Self Defense Force 3rd Air Wing commander Maj. Gen. Hideo Wakabayashi visit Andersen

ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam - Lt. Gen. Edward Rice, United States Forces Japan commander, and Maj. Gen. Hideo Wakabayashi, Japan Air Self Defense Force 3rd Air Wing commander, toured an F-22A Raptor during their visit here Feb. 13. The F-22A show is deployed to Andersen with the 90th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron from Eielson AFB, Alaska, as part of the Theater Security Package. The F-22A, a critical component of the Global Strike Task Force, is designed to project air dominance, rapidly and at great distances and defeat threats attempting to deny access to our nation's Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps. The F-22A cannot be matched by any known or projected fighter aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Courtney Witt)

United States Forces Japan commander Lt. Gen. Edward Rice and Japan Air Self Defense Force 3rd Air Wing commander Maj. Gen. Hideo Wakabayashi visit Andersen

ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam - Maj. Gen. Hideo Wakabayashi, Japan Air Self Defense Force 3rd Air Wing commander, asks Lt. Col. Christopher Niemi, 90th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron director of operations, questions about the F-22A Raptor to during a tour here Feb. 13. The F-22A?s engines produce more thrust than any current fighter engine. The combination of sleek aerodynamic design and increased thrust allows the F-22A to cruise at supersonic airspeeds (greater than 1.5 Mach) without using afterburner -- a characteristic known as supercruise. Supercruise greatly expands the F-22A 's operating envelope in both speed and range over current fighters, which must use fuel-consuming afterburner to operate at supersonic speeds.
