Raptors

Here's a reply to some comments a few posts back (anonymous commenter).

Watch this air show video of the F-22 in action. If you know nothing about airplanes then this won't impress you but this thing does shit that defies the laws of gravity. Just 10 years ago most of these maneuvers would have been resulted in a burning pile of wreckage. But the additions of massively powerful engines, on board super computers, vectored thrust and independently variable tail planes the F-22 dances like no other. I don't think you could get this thing to stall out if you wanted to.




Here's some more of my favorite air show clips/crashes:

Talk about balls, low pass Airbus
Final 22 ship F-14 Tomcat flyby
Balls to the wall my friend
The infamous Fairchild AFB B-52 crash
French TriColor Crash at Ramstein
Someone teach that computer to fly
Belly flop
Thuderbirds away
