Europe and Africa
Lt. Gen. Timothy Ray, 3rd Air Force and 17th Expeditionary Air Force commander, speaks during a press conference on the flightline at Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base, Romania, April 25, 2016. The general answered reporters' questions about the U.S. Air Force F-22A Raptor training deployment in Europe as part of the European Reassurance Initiative. The aircraft will conduct air training with other Europe-based aircraft and forward deploy from RAF Lakenheath, England, to maximize training opportunities while demonstrating the U.S. commitment to NATO allies and the security of Europe. The Raptors are deployed from the 95th Fighter Squadron, Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida.(U.S. Air Force graphic by Tech. Sgt. Ryan Crane/Released)
