Lt. Col. Harvey "Banger" Newton, pilot 19th Fighter Squadron, along with his wife and Staff Sgt. Ben Nitta, an Hawaii Air National Guard F-22 Raptor crew chief, drapes a maile lei across the nose of the F-22 Raptor during the F-22 Arrival Ceremony, July 9, 2010, on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. Maile lei is part of a Hawaiian tradition used to mark important occasions. The arrival of the F-22 Raptor marks the beginning of a new associate unit between the Hawaii Air National Guard and the 15th Wing, active duty Air Force. The Raptor represents an exponential leap in warfighting capabilities for U.S. forces in the Pacific.
