@ Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Honolulu, HI
June 2023
Caught this Raptor nest from my window seat as our United flight taxied by. Hickam AFB merged with Naval Station Pearl Harbor to become part of the Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam. The base neighbors Honolulu International Airport and shares runways with the airport for its activities and purposes. The Hawaii Air National Guard has been operating F-22’s here since 2010. First flown in 1997, the F-22 entered service in 2005 with a total production run of 195 aircraft.
