The Hawaii Air National Guard will provide demonstrations of the F-22 Raptor Cockpit Simulator. The F-22 simulator allows participants to experience what it is like to fly the new, highly-touted long-range tactical fighter.
In late 2010, the Hawaii Air National Guard is scheduled to begin receiving the first of 20 F-22s. They will be replacing the F-15 Eagle which has been the airframe for the 199th Fighter Squadron since 1987.
The media is also invited to attend on Thursday, July 24th at 1:00 p.m. when Hawaii high school robotics teams will visit the F-22 simulator.
If you would like to attend this event, please RSVP with the PAO at 733-4258. RSVP’d media will meet a PAO representative at the Hickam Air Force Base front gate and be escorted to the event.
