USAF F-22A Raptor Departure Melbourne Airport.

And that's a wrap..well a Raptor to be precise.. at approximately 9.50am this morning, the pair of United States Air Force Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor's from the 525th Fighter Squadron, that arrived at Melbourne Airport last Tuesday, finally departed. Their Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker support is still sitting idle, with the Royal Australian Air Force sending an Airbus KC-30A MRTT from Amberley based 33 squadron, to help ferry the F-22's to Darwin, and assist them to make it to Kadena Air Base, Japan.
