I’ve never seen anything like that.

It seems to be able to do flips within loops.

What else does it need to do, and it does it stealthy.

As manueverable as an old biplane at more than twice the speed.

We saw them at an airshow recently. It is really something to see one come roaring in and then stop and hover using amazing brute thrust. Woo Hoo!

Amazing. I to had seen a raptor demo (Elmendorf AFB)and this clip does it no justice (as amazing as that is). The demo I saw I saw it fly level, flip facing 180, and power to the reverse direction. It can flip, twist, and flip some more. A P-51 Mustang came on scene, from an earlier demo, and the raptor flew in super duper tight formation with the Mustang.

F-22 Raptor aircraft from the 90th Fighter Squadron out of Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, and the 49th Fighter Wing out of Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, fly to the Nevada Test and Training Range in Nevada February 4, 2010, during Red Flag. Red Flag, which is a realistic combat training exercise involving the air forces of the United States and its allies, is conducted on the 15,000-square-mile Nevada Test and Training Range, north of Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
