F22 RAPTORS FLYING IN S KOREA LAST WEDNESDAY IN A SIGN OF FORCE AGAINST THE RUNAWAY KIM OF N KOREA - AS 4 F22 DOES A FLY OVER DEMONSTRATION SENDING THE MESSAGE OF WATCH OUT WITH PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH

The United States on Wednesday flew four of its F-22 stealth fighter jets over South Korean airspace in what is widely interpreted as a demonstration of power and alliance, following Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile provocations and Seoul’s unusually strong words against its hostile neighbor.

The “Raptor” jets arrived at Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province around noon, after taking off from Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan, which received the jets last month.

“Two of the jets will stay here for a while, and the other two will report back to (their) base (in Okinawa),” an official from the 7th U.S. Air Force said. He did not specify how long the jets would remain in the country, or if they would take part in the annual South Korea-U.S. joint military drills next month.
