JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii — The Hawaiian skies cleared for Total Force Airmen and Navy Reserve exercise participants as they took part in a first-of-its-kind fighter exercise here January 18-26.

While the Hawaii Air National Guard routinely hosts large-scale combat exercises through it’s Sentry Aloha program, this training marked the first time EA-18G Growlers combined their electronic attack (EA) capabilities with the locally-based F-22 Raptors within the joint venue.
