Thats awesome! At the air show I went to they had the F-22's roped off and would not let anyone go near them, I wanted to see them fly sooooo badly!

I was able to see 2 of them flying in Osh Kosh. I got some video of them, but is REAL crappy. Man, they are some MAGNIFiCIENT birds. Theyre quite possibly some of the best exhibition flyers I have seen. And they have lots of things to make go BOOM. Thanks for sharing the vid.

The power of that aircraft is immense.
It is one of only two aircraft capable of making a vertical climb. The other would be IIRC the F-15E Strike Eagle.
And with the thrust vectoring, the F-22 is capable of pulling a cobra (verticle stall) and almost instantaneously regain flight when it noses over.
Truely, an amazing aircraft.

That maneuver is also referred to as "going ballistic"
The other bird able to accelerate verticle is the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Not to be confused with the Ford Falcon.
IIRC, all fighters are able to go ballistic, but very few are able to do something with it. If any bird is able to, it would be either the Hornet (F/A-18) and the Falcon.

Very impressive. When do the thunderbirds upgrade to the f-22?

Dunno, the original word was that the Raptor was a replacement for the Eagle. Now that the Falcon is getting up there in hours, they're making rumors that the Raptor is to replace the -16 as well. Stay tuned to the Pentagon Channel and CSPAN for more exciting and interesting developments as they occur. Will you be on the edge of your seat?

wouldnt being in a leaned forward position be a bad thing? Seems like it would hinder their ability to spot another aircraft in a dogfight.
