In 2018 the 95th FS/ 325th FW deployed their F22 Raptors to Spangdahlem AB in Germany. Although standing on the departure side, trying to catch some banking Raptors (which I didn't), I still made some photographs and witnessed the power of these beasts!

Of course the local Spangdahlem Vipers flew numerous sorties too. Even one of our 'own' Hercules of the KLu made some touch&go's.
