Good to hear you're not an 15 hater. I love those planes, they just look right in every way. When I think of a fighter jet the image of an F15 comes to mind. I wish we spent less money on the F-22s and more building new F-15s like the Silent Eagle.
I live right next to a major US Air Force base here in Colorado Springs and these things do exist, they're a treat to see flying on the 4th of July too.
4 years of college, atleast 5 years of prior service in a F-15E Strike Eagle, and you'll get looks for one if there is one open but their only getting about 300 of these beauties to fill the skies. And like you i'm on my way to college to try and earn my ace's for one. Good Luck man.
YESS!!! WOOOO!!! THank you. I'm from europe. Your the first person to have the balls to say the eurofighter is more impressive than an F22. Even the pilots say it lol. All the F22 has is fucking stealth.
ex - US Navy Sailor here - I saw this video and thought "Holy sh*T! Wow whatta plane!" God I love what my tax dollars pay for! If this is the future, man are we lucky. Good to see such beauty and grace combined with air power to protect the freedom of my country and it's skies. To all my fellow servicemen brothers and sisters, past present and future - I salute you. navyseal4404 - Thank you for posting this video.
Here's my great HERO..., Welcome RAPTOR...! The most beatifull plane in the world singing loud on Tiesto. Nice work navyseal4404...! I'd allways loved to be the RAPTORFLYER...! Great video!
The F-22 Raptor has always been one of my top 5 aircrafts in real life and also in every Ace Combat game I've played:) The SU-37 and the SU-35 Flanker are also very cool. The YF-22 is also very cool.
Raptors are beasts, you cant deny that, and its the sexiest plane iv seen in a long while. When i join the RAF, im hoping to fly a Typhoon F1 until F-35B comes into practice.
The greatest aircraft in exsist. Power unrivaled, not even trailled closely by. Best sound of a engine to date, loud and proud! All enemy planes will see nothing till its too late. The F-22 is even the sexiest, IMO. I'm jealous of Zeke, lucky F-22 demo pilot. Hope to follow in his steps has an instructor and a demo pilot! AETC/ACC all the way!
JonnyTec ! Im a sworn defender of the Western World myself. I would agree the F-22 is the "Best fighet jet" in the world today. When it comes down to "best air force" ie how many jet you have,what kind ect, yeah USA once agian. The "best pilots" are from Israel i think they made your f-16 look like a "starter plane" they really made the f-16 alot better. F 22 is still my fave Jet Good Hunting In The Air Force Western World For Life
the F-22 Raptor is my favorite jet by far it's the best man it can take down a eurofighter typhoon any day good luck 2 all u dood's that wanna serve ur country i hope u make it god bless
F-22: a plane designed for maintaining air superiority. F-35: a plane designed for surface attacks and recon. The dynamic duo that keeps the United States Air Force; Above All
Hello my friend, Thank's for add my video clip. (Festa Rave- Music BassHunter-Efects)I'm happy for this. You're videos in your site are very "FANTASTIC". Parabéns pelo seu video, um grande abraço de seu amigo de Sorocaba,Sp-BRASIL - Dj Roberto Neander.
The RAF for years had been able to detect US stealth fighters using AWACS and ground radar. They were able to track the B-2 on its way to Farnborough by trackings its IR glow. The USAF can pick up its F-22 raptors easily apart from its Fighters as intended. Certain surface launch systems most old models also find it difficult to pick up an F-22 as intended. But its not invisible to every radar system.
Born to be the successor to the F-15, the development of this aircraft has been on the verge of cancelled several times due to its high cost. Finally, came into service in 2005 after more than ten years of rugged development.
Wow! Excellent video, thank you for sharing. We saw the Blue Angels at the Toronto air show and were spellbound by their skill, bravery and showmanship. Absolutely amazing! They are in a league of their own.
I've been in the Air Force for over 20 years now my dear British friend. We work/train/fly 5-6 days a week minimum. Endless training, trust me. Not arguing with you, just letting you know, we don't get much time off.
The F-22 can go supersonic without afterburn... is not just fast... is a thunder, I'm here in Elmendorf Air Force base, Alaska, and a see the F-22 almost every day...
yes. The only exception that F22 got is its stealth capability, which MKI doesn't have. I do agree its air superiority which counts. The term battle management is used for ground forces. And those are not circus tricks. Those feets are performed to see what it can do in dogfight situations.If u think that way,theres a lot of difference b/w circus and gymnastics
@MikeDMinor The Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor is a single-seat, twin-engine fifth-generation fighter aircraft that uses stealth technology. It was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, but has additional capabilities that include ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence[5] roles. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is the prime contractor and is responsible for the majority of the airframe, weapon systems and final assembly of the F-22.
I have to agree with that...to see the F-22 go into an intentional stall and come straight out of it...this is something that cannot be done by any other aircraft...at least not to the limits of the F-22...what a bird!
god the raptor is such a beautiful machine. Even with its purpose is solely to kill, its still a piece of art. I just hope when i Join the US:AF, I hope I meet their Criteria to fly it. I won't settle for second best.
The fa22 is awesome and the most advanced today. I never have seen it live in person though. Some irate advertisment said it was coming to the blue angels air show fleet week in S.F. but it was a rumor and it never showed up so I never got to see it.
they flew the SR-71 in the late 50's (test flights)and commissioned it in 1964 i can only imagine what they have in the air today and how fast it really moves considering the SR-71 top speed is still secret but it made a flight from the UK to California in 3.7 hours
@JetMechMA The Raptor's combination of stealth, speed, agility, precision and situational awareness, combined with air-to-air and air-to-ground combat capabilities, makes it the best overall fighter in the world today. Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, Chief of the Australian Defence Force, said in 2004 that the "F-22 will be the most outstanding fighter plane ever built.
I was reading in this thread where somebody said the Eurofighter was more impressive. "All the F-22 has is stealth" was his comment. When you consider the pilot who sees the enemy first almost always wins the engagement that is a decisive advantage. Not to mention super cruise(speed is life) super maneuverability. The Eurofighter is already obsolete.
