RIMPAC question

[ROCK45]

I was reading this short article about the RIMPAC 2008 and wanted to know if anybody knew the aircraft breakdown.

Quote
More than 20,400 military personnel from the United States, Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan, the Netherlands, Peru, South Korea, United Kingdom and Singapore will conclude the naval exercise July 31.

Thanks

Is the article true in that Hawaii's Air National Guard Unit are getting F-22's??

The RAF contribution is indeed E-3D's from Waddington and Nimrods from Kinloss.

Quote
F-22As based in Alaska in the near-term and Hawaii in the mid-term demonstrates the tremendous American commitment to the region by assuring security and stability for our nation, as well as for our friends and allies," said PACAF commander General Paul V. Hester. In the future, the aircraft will also be assigned to Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii. The 199th Fighter Squadron of the Hawaii Air National Guard will fly the F-22 and the 531st Fighter Squadron will be an Active associate squadron to them.
