I watched this jet perform today at the Trenton airshow. The pilot did an amazing job. He flew for about 15 minutes or so, and blew everyone in the audience away.
The audio quality is so close to the real thing, minus your chest vibrating! This makes me really miss being there in-person at the Miramar air show. They had F-22, F-16, F-18, Blue Angels and more and they fly so close to the crowds it's really crazy.
Great sound quality!!!..... im local to VaBeach been in the area my entire life... its fun to see people react to this kinda stuff ... since its pretty normal for us lol..!!!
Jason Yoast I know I used to live there for 20 years. Also had some neighbors who were part of the Seal Team! Impressive stuff meeting people like that face to face!
In VA Beach itself we have Oceana, but few miles away is Langley AF base... not uncommon to see pretty much anything in the air over Hampton Roads en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langley_Air_Force_Base
The sound in this video is amazing, very high quality. thumbs up!! i love The f-22. I live in Holland myself, but man, i would do everything to watch one of these in reallife :)
Raymond Fee they will never use this American jet however you might be able to catch an air show with it in it we come up there often idk about Netherlands
An F-15 nearly crashed on me in VB oceanfront in the late 90s. I could see the pilots name on the side of aircraft and was temporarily deaf for 15 minutes.
It never gets old to me but seeing aircraft like that is pretty common in that area or in DC. They are flight testing F18s close by so sometimes they give the tourists a show. A lot of locals are used to it almost like an expensive car or something.
Someone should have directed this gentleman about 6.5 miles SW of the oceanfront to Oceana Naval Air Station. He’d have seen them up close and personal there!
Well your advice comes a bit late Luna Rose since this air show occurred back on June 1st, 2014. But more importantly, I used to live by the Oceana Naval Air Station and have visited there many times seeing these "masterpice flying monsters" while grounded . And I'll enlighten you that by being at the Naval air base that day, I would NOT have seen the air "show" that was casted over the Virginia Beach Oceanfront which is infinitely more impressive than the pilots prepping to take off on the Naval Station runway on that particular day, June 1st, 2014.
Nah he was using burners at some parts of the video. He did a J-turn which is a maneuver the Raptors do at every air show so it's safe to assume the pilot was practicing for an airshow, and during airshows where they fly this maneuver they always use burners. You're right about the speed though, they aren't allowed to go supersonic above ground until they reach a certain height, the sonic boom breaks windows (and can damage ears/scare the shit out of people)
"It was an F-18 or an F-22 or something...maybe an F-16? How about an F-15. Possibly an F-4? Maybe an A-6. Could have been a P-51 or possibly, quite possibly a Sopwith Camel! Aurora maybe?
I saw the Raptor during testing in Marietta, GA in early 2000. It came out of no where, vertical beside my car, he had the weapons bay doors opened... scared the s**t out of me it was so close to my car.. Lockheed dropped it from 3 stories high on purpose... it took a nice bounce but kept on going!!! We make great stuff, no doubt. Great catch, wish I was there in person. Thanks for sharing...
If you want to see them more often all ya have to do is drive up to Hampton around 7am. The Raptors take off at Langley AFB almost every morning around 7:30. It's a nice alarm for me.
The Sight, Speed and Sound in person is unfeckin-believable. Insanely Loud and they appear from nowhere. Truly Shocking & Amazing at the same time. I live near the Burbank California Airport and 3 flew over my house about five seconds apart today, and it scared the "F" out of me and everyone in my neighborhood. I thought we were being attacked by North Korea. FFS
First flight 1997, imagine what they have now ? Imagine what no one knows about. Yet media say China Russia a contest. 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂 Reagan gave the world gps, who does that with out an antidote. USA USA 🇺🇸.
