The day shift might be wrapping up, but the Alert Mission never sleeps!

Standby maintenance teams and aircrews remain at their posts 24/7 to ensure that stealth fighters are ready to scramble at a moment’s notice.  

The Hawaiian Raptors fly at night to expose aviators to flying conditions in all scenarios, giving pilots the experience needed to patrol the skies in the darkest hours.
