I’ve never seen anything like that.

It seems to be able to do flips within loops.

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.

It’s an amazing machine. Seen the Raptor at a few air shows.

If you watched the entire video you should be asking yourself how vulnerable that platform is at the top of the climb.
