Maj. Randall W. Cason (at left), an F-16 pilot stationed at 10th Air Force headquarters at NAS JRB Fort Worth, Texas, was selected by the US Air Force in May to be the first member of Air Force Reserve Command to fly the F-22 fighter. After completing transition training, Cason, a former F-16 Aggressor squadron pilot, will be assigned to the 43rd Fighter Training Squadron at Tyndall AFB, Florida, where he will serve as an instructor pilot. In July, the first international F-22 exchange pilot, Royal Air Force Flight Lt. Dan Robinson, completed Raptor transition training at Tyndall. He was assigned to the 27th Fighter Squadron at Langley AFB, Virginia. In exchange, an American fighter pilot will be trained on the Eurofighter Typhoon.
