Many, many years ago, lived in Williamsburg Va and was driving down to Newport Newes. All of a sudden....big sign..."Road Closed"....and we could see little fighter jets all over the place...along with the booms....Awesome...
Also visited the Langley Complex and they had planes of the future....This was my first look at the Stealth.

We saw them fly in an airshow at Andrews. They are amazing.

But are they good enough to beat the mighty North Korean Air Force?

you can thank 0bama for shutting down its development / deployment (not to mention the lack of attention towards the sabotage efforts...)
i’m guessing they pushed a few to NK just to scrap them

Thanks for the video links. I just watched the first one. Amazing! Its maneuverability makes it look like one of those radio controlled planes we used to fly.

It is unfair for the US to have this advantage. All F22s must be grounded and scrapped. /liberal

"This plane was doing things that shouldn't be possible in a jet," he said. "I just kept thinking that if anyone tried that in any other plane, he'd be dead." Talk about laying it on thick...
The thrust-vectoring nozzles (TVN) fitted to the MiG-29 and Su-35/Su-37 are 3D nozzles whereas the TVN fitted to the F-22 are only 2D, so this makes them more maneuverable.

"This plane was doing things that shouldn't be possible in a jet,"
The first time I saw one at an airshow I thought the same thing.
