The Deputy Secretary of Defense says all of the F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets left behind when Hurricane Michael hit Tyndall Air Force Base last month will be flown off the base under their own power. 33 of Tyndall’s F-22s were flown out in advance of Hurricane Michael. In a letter sent to Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson by Florida Senator Marco Rubio, he said 31 percent of F-22 aircraft at Tyndall Air Force Base were designated Non-Mission Capable and were sheltered in place. Deputy Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan said the Department of Defense is beginning to look at long-term prospects for the base, which Vice President Mike Pence pledged last week would be rebuilt.
