This was the best demo I have ever seen in my entire life. Ive never thought id be able to see the raptor being pushed this hard with my own eyes. Some guy brought his kids who sat next to me as we watched. They went nuts when the RaZZ pulled it into the vertical climb after takeoff. So amazing. Best fighter in the world. 🇺🇲

With the lighting you could see the afterburner exhaust so clearly and I didn’t notice any vectoring at all through the demo. Did anyone else see any place where you could notice thrust vectoring? If not then it just shows how much they are limiting it for these demos.
@NationChosenByGod9 ай бұрын
@@HouTexHemi None, in fact, F-22 does not need thrust vectoring to point its nose or perform such maneuvers. Thrust vectoring on the F-22 is just a bonus.

The color changes on the Aircraft are stunning with the twilight show going from grey to a firegold with the angle change to the setting sun. Now I'm spoiled and want to see all the shows like this ! The clouds in the back ground are a plus with it adding speed, texture, and a reference for attitude change without a horizon to help.

Whats funny is that the certain senator from where ever the F35 is from promised X amount of jobs that would build said fighter jet, while the superior jet fighter known as the F22 Raptor was scratched bc the US congress is corrupt AF...All defense contract companies have 90% of congress members in their pockets...all it takes to bribe a senator is literally like 10k

Turns out Spencer was in front of us the whole day and we had no idea. We introduced ourselves and told him I had been following is content for years. He was incredibly kind and nice and had a great conversation with him. And got a cool selfie for a souvenir 🤘🏻. Thanks Spencer for what you do for this community!

For my money with the variety of aircraft during each days flying, Oshkosh is far and away the best airshow on the planet. F-22 always a highlight but so many great aircraft on display and in the air over the full week. Loved the Lockheed Constellation flyby and landing- but there are dozens of fantastic arrivals over the course of the week. I have noticed the crowds seem to be bigger every year... seems like the word got out.
