While the F-22s sit on the ramps in Japan with nothing to do.

Different mission aircraft.
The F-22 is terrific for most conventional air missions.
Spooky is terrific for most counter-insurgency warfare gunfights.

ODAs luv spooky because of the huge ordnance payload and the lengthy linger time.
And in between fire missions, Spooky can keep the battlefield illuminated with flares.
