F-22 Fleet May Not Meet Mattis’s Readiness Goal

​—Rachel S. Cohen
The Air Force’s F-22 fleet may not reach its 80 percent mission-capability goal by the end of September due to “all of the permanent change-of-station moves†required after Tyndall AFB, Fla., was devastated last fall, Secretary Heather Wilson told lawmakers this week.
The service “probably†will meet the objective for its F-16s, she continued, but because the F-22s face so much upheaval in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael, that fleet “may not make it.†Raptors have relocated to Eglin AFB, Fla., JB Langley-Eustis, Va., JB Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, and JB Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska.
