Nice!Either the mustang was hauling ass, or the raptor was about to stall!
Probably both
I was just thinking the same thing. My dad worked for the Naval Air Rework Facility in Norfolk, VA as an electrical engineer. He was in charge of the F-14 division. My heart always swells when I see any kind of display of military aviation. F-14’s and A-6’s were a common site flying low over our house on their way to NAS Oceana to do a touch and go. We sure have come a long way since the 70’s and 80’s.
“The F-22 pilot can maintain control of the aircraft at speeds as low as that of a Piper Cub or at very high supersonic speeds.”

Not at all! The Mustang can easily maintain 450 mph and the Raptor can land and take off at under 150. The Raptor was flying quite comfortably in the photo. The Mustang was effortlessly cruising.
