Egress technicians keep Raptors covered

Senior Airman Ryan Ott positions an F-22 Raptor canopy using an east-west hoist Feb. 18 at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. The Raptors are deployed from Elmendorf AFB, Alaska, to Guam for three months as the Pacific's theater security package. The base has received 12 of the $140 million dollar aircraft, and more than 250 Airmen as the theater security package. As part of the continuing force posture adjustments to address worldwide requirements, the United States continues to deploy additional forces like the F-22 throughout the Western Pacific. This is the latest example of the flexibility U.S. forces have to meet their ongoing commitments and security obligations throughout the Pacific region. Airman Ott is an egress technician deployed from Elmendorf AFB and assigned to 36th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Master Sgt. Kevin J. Gruenwald)
