Air Combat Command's F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team successfully carried out the first F-22 trans-Atlantic deployment in July. The Demo Team, led by Maj. Paul Moga, deployed to England on 8 July to participate in the 2008 Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford, England, and in the Farnborough International Airshow. He was joined by Capt. Leo Lemelson and Flt. Lt. Dan Robinson, a Royal Air Force exchange pilot. Moga flew only a practice session on 11 July as the scheduled flying display at Air Tattoo was cancelled because of weather. He flew at Farnborough on 14 July. Capt. Chris Bergtholdt, Capt. Michael Trujillo, and Lemelson flew the three F-22s back to Langley on 15 July.
