Team heads to Chile for air show, but not empty-handed

March 31st, 2010
Approximately 30 Airmen and two F-22 Raptors from Holloman Air Force Base headed to Chile to participate in an air show, but took more equipment then initially planned.

The plan had been in effect for months for the Airmen and aircraft to support the 2010 FIDAE Air and Trade Show that would mark the debut of the F-22 to South America; however, after a magnitude 8.8 earthquake hit the country only weeks before the show and damaging thousands of homes, Airmen deploying knew they could not leave the base empty-handed.
