I look at it like Dislexia of the fingers!

Sorry to hijack your thread, but one thing that bothers me about YouTube is the abject lack of civility among the posters of comments on that site.

If BO’Re wants to identify hate sites based on commenting, he should focus on that wasteland.

That’s really cool and awesome, but I have to wonder why we spent all the money and effort on low speed agility on an aircraft the enemy will probably never see (before being destroyed of course).

Looked at that and some of the other F-22 videos.
Awesome aircraft, I want a ride.

The very last maneuver was pretty impressive.

I took my son to the Friday practice. The weather was perfect - cloudless sky and upper 70’s (both yesterday and today are cold, cloudy and rainy)

The Raptor demo was just astounding to watch. To really understand how different this fighter is, you have to experience it in person.

Did all the local lefties and liberals turn out to boo and hiss our military? Just wondering. They usually do, the slimy pigs.

My guess is that the low speed agility is a by product of the large engines , thrust vectoring and Fly -by-wire system.
The real money moves couldn’t be seen by spectators on the ground and if they could probably wouldn’t look all that impressive

I live in Marietta,Ga. directly in the flight line of the Lockheed plant where these birds are built. We see test flights at least once a month here. They fly around with an F-16 chase plane, which it dwarfs. It has a distinctively different sound to it.

Not to worry, Chicago is no longer worth fixing.

It's going to be at the Columbus, OH. Air Show Sept. 28-30.

I'm making a 1000 mi. round trip to see that baby in action.

Vinnie, I hope you have great weather for the Colombus show!
The Raptor will NOT disappoint!

And the weather here in Chicago has gone from iffy to downright horrible for today’s airshow! It’s a steady downpour now.....
