Eagles swap to maintain fighter presence at Kadena

U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Matt Blanchette, 104th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, completes a post flight check of an F-15C Eagle at Kadena Air Base, Japan, Oct. 3, 2023. As the 18th Wing continues the phased return of Kadena’s fleet of Eagles, the Department of Defense will maintain a steady-state fighter presence in the Indo-Pacific region by temporarily deploying aircraft to maintain deterrence capabilities and added flexibility in a dynamic theater.
