2023 Pacific Air Show - F-22 & F-35 FLARE DEMOS!

[@djbowler3333]

Hands down, best exhibition flying I've ever seen on KZbin. Close ins, wide shots, flares, vectored thrust maneuvering, high alpha passes, trans sonic passes, beautiful clouds and sky and beach. Wow.

[@beachcomberbloke462]

Thank you so much Spencer for this exhilarating footage, your definitely a top gun of aviation filming!👍👍

[@jmej832]

Always leaves me smiling and proud!! Hats off America!!!

[@axelBr1]

As a Brit it pains me to say that the F-22 is a fantastic plane. Probably lots of people commenting about the skill of the pilots, (undoubtedly true), but as an engineer and failed even to make military pilot selection pilot, I'm impressed by the engineering teams that programmed the flight control systems that allow the pilot to take the plane safely to the edge of aerodynamic stability, I'm sure there's not much margin of error from doing the Falling Leaf manoeuvre, and being in a flat spin. Pity only the F-35A variant on display, seeing an F-35B stationary in the air is mind-blowing.

God bless the United States of America more😌💝🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@coffeebreak3100]

It’s so amazing that you were able to capture up close footage like this- just incredible 👍

[@nimbusnation9584]

The world's most advance and deadliest aircrafts... It's always captivating to see them in action. Thanks bro.

[@ME-wq8lq]

That round goes to the F-35🔥

[@lalakersfan88]

Marvelous! Today, Saturday, the F22 performed twice. First time was cut short due to rain and then it came back later for a full demo.

[@kevinmyers440]

What’s crazy is it’s not doing half of what it’s capable of. It’s a thing of beauty

[@kevinmyers440]

@@player7996 I must not have worded it right, I just mean the pilots are told they can’t even do what they would do in a real life combat situations, meaning the plane can do so much more than what they show you, the public

[@player7996]

@@kevinmyers440 Sorry, i forgot to @ the lakers commenter, you're good

[@player7996]

@lalakersfan88 Really? We left at 2:30 since it seemed like they were all done. The commentator said they went home for the day... ugh

[@NationChosenByGod]

@@kevinmyers440 And the pilot can't handle the F-22 full-performance.

[@ianjones7486]

F22 is spectacularly good and that’s the best F35 footage that I have seen

[@ottobyte]

My fuggin goodness… don’t know how I missed this one. One of the best demos of the F22/35 ever ❤

[@randymartinez5260]

That shock collar at 9:35 was pretty cool.

F-22 Raptor Cobra Maneuver!!!!!!!!!!

[@morallycorruptmaleficentti1194]

I just saw some of the jets blowing pass my house! I thought we were getting invaded XD For anyone wondering, they shook the whole house and let off every car alarm for blocks lol The sound is just insane. Bought a GA ticket for tomorrow, great footage man!

[@nancyplew8258]

And added my P-51 with them. My favorite coverage. Spenser your the best. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️🥰👏👏🙋🏼‍♀️🏆

[@SoCalOCRailfan]

Amazing video! Can’t wait to see it in person today at the Airshow.

[@Usasuperpower]

Best ever fighter jet!,,,,

[@NickYoung22]

Thanks for posting this. We were there yesterday (Saturday) and due to the rain and cloud deck we left after the F15. As we were leaving we saw the 22 loitering around but didn’t get to see any high alpha maneuvers so this is awesome to see. I’m hoping to see some footage of the growlers yesterday. They put on an amazing show and with the storm off the coast the backdrop was ominous.

[@aviation-action]

Awesome! Nice flares!!!

[@bobsurgranny]

3:07 great watching the flares ping out in freefall 😃

[@kennythai78]

I’m from Boston, myself, my wife and friends were there at Huntington Beach last week but we didn’t stay there too long and we missed the show 😔 😔 😔 love love the beach they are so so nice

[@nancyplew8258]

SUPER Spencer. Thank you for the Raptor coverage. Great filming. ❤️❤️❤️🙋🏼‍♀️🏆🤘👏

[@jimpurp]

Thank you Spencer! Love your vids, of Huntington Beach the most. I was there on Thursday & Friday and live about 2 miles from show center, it’s like a war zone over my house (love it). Thank you for allowing me to enjoy the show, all the shows, over and over again.

[@lukeunterkofler106]

NOOOO WAYYY. IM HERE TODAY AND IM SO HYPED FOR THIS!! And the cobra to open the show 🔥🔥

[@DALEf4u]

I was there on Friday and that was so cool! You do great work on your videos!!

Wow f22 and f35 means the kings of sky👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@bernardanderson3758]

Thank you spencer for another fantastic video

[@Krispy1011]

These 2 planes are absolutely amazing!

[@springfieldbearpatrol2937]

I live nearby and watch the show every year. What caught my attention was the side by side of the two planes in the heritage fly-by. You can see the Raptor has HUGE control surfaces. And that explains the some of the great turning maneuvers in the demo by the Raptor. Although on Saturday, I thought the F35 stole the show Saturday with speed and climb profiles. Heard it was a female pilot. But great job overall by both planes and pilots. I know it’s all BVR, stealth and avionics now but I still want to know who wins the knife fight. For sure the Raptor is capable in this regard but I’d still bet my money on the F16 for Tight turn radius -John Boyd style fighting with dump and pump to evade then re-engage.

[@chiccavaquita]

F-16 was a female also I think.

[@RW-zn8vy]

@@chiccavaquitayep every demo pilot except the f22 is a female currently.

[@rusaanz8085]

Boyd was a hack

[@BlkInc1]

F16 was engineered to dog fight, thrust vectoring is the only was F22 beats it. Definitely best dog fighting 4th gen.

[@Nothingschanged]

That PRATT & WHITNEY F35 engine is Humming!!!

[@DanielWelninskiJr-fb9gf]

Too bad I had to work...wish I was their but you were instead doing what I used to do...thanks for sharing!!! Now that's baaad asss. Keep em flying

Saw this show on Sunday, this Friday exhibit is definitely a better one.

The fluff on that F35 is photo on the wall worthy.

Awesome show the P=51 Mustang escorted by the F=22 Raptor & the F=35 Lightning epic 👨🏻👍🏻✈✈🛩🛩

[@donkoh5738]

Great video work here always... would have been great to have seen a few flares popped from the P-51D ! and that said... you wouldn't want to be in a gunfight with a P-51D vs F35B !

9:35 just wow 🤩

[@trentynichols007]

I know the skill it would take to fly that thing. I can only imagine trying to fight it or see it for the first time. Watching those turns and be like nope. You would save so many missiles by just getting radar lock seven times in five mins. Great footage, what a machine that is.

[@theaviationphotographer61]

@spencerhughes2255 you should make a video of showing your camera collection

[@Dawhitebit]

Lucky the weather was nice, I went on Saturday and it rained and the performances were stopped, until the F-22 flew in and started doing turns.

[@wasappeningvato]

😮😮Wooow I thought these maneuvers only happen in movies! Amazing

[@jamesh1641]

American Air Power. ❤

[@Cyclist18]

The Raptor just shits on every other demo😂

[@bernardanderson3758]

Oceana Jet Base Airshow was excellent but when the F-22 did it’s flight demonstration the show was over for me after seeing what this amazing aircraft can really do

[@rickrudd3017]

Nice job, your surehandedness amazing

[@NSVAirRailVisuals]

Sick video, man!! 🔥🔥🔥 Also, I had a question, the Snowbirds from Canada go to the Pacific Airshow almost every year and I've noticed that anytime they are there you never post any footage of their performance. I was curious as to why you leave them out?

[@cf4461]

Snowbirds are boring, that's why

[@NSVAirRailVisuals]

@cf4461 I think the Snowbirds are amazing! Had the chance to see them and i thought they were great! You can have your opinion but I think they are great! Not as good as the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds but they are still really skilled pilots!

[@ahmadtheaviationlover1937]

Amazing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

"ACE combat is so unrealistic!" F-22: "hold my beer" also. Physics: exist. F-22: ...And I took that personally. 3:00 , 3:45 , 8:01

Thank you. All handheld.

[@tommcclelland119]

Fighters are cool. Great pilots too.

[@dangit9439]

Awesome airshow

[@jeffhemmen9088]

F 22 is still unmatched years later. They should bring it back. You just can't explain the turning capabilities of this thing. Nobody beats is in the water or air. With that, we by default own the ground too

[@RW-zn8vy]

Nah it’s too expensive and too limited it also lacks capabilities. The f35 is way cheaper and can do way more. it would be nice to have 200 or so more raptors though.

[@shinzyReal]

Hello, do you know what time the f22 came? I'm going to the airshow this year and can't manage to find the times, only the planes

[@TITOONYOUTUBE]

You have to come to Salinas next weekend For The Airshow

[@bg11696]

Can you do more shots where the ground is visible?

[@Bidyoworks]

so beautiful!

[@NationChosenByGod]

@spencerhughes2255 I was there but outside the fence or admission area. You seem to have a clear shot of the aircraft up close; were you outside but on the side somewhere?

[@spencerhughes2255]

I had my feet in the water in the admission area a little right of show center here.

[@NationChosenByGod]

​@@spencerhughes2255 It is good to know. I thought the F-22 only showed up once because of the rain, but it showed up again. I thought I got teased by the raptor.

[@edwardking186]

WHOA!!! That's so cool seeing the Raptor do a Cobra! The Cobra should be part of the Raptor's normal routine. As much as I love the Raptor, I wish most of the demo would be faster and more aggressive like the Eagle demo when there was an Eagle demo. We got to see the speed and power of the Eagle, and I would love to see some of the maneuvers from the Eagle Demo in the Raptor demo, like the vertical roll to 15,000 ft.

[@RW-zn8vy]

The f22 never does a cobra also this is it’s normal routine

[@JoeBiden1776]

Cobra manoeuvre is the sitting duck manoeuvre among 5th gen planes..these days the planes never get to come close and raptor spots them way before the adversary comes to know about it. The only take away is this that how fast the raptor get over the hangover of this manoeuvre. Only f 18 has has this ability to recover fast of a cobra❤

[@cf4461]

First time I've the F-22 and 35 drop flares in a civilian airshow, nice addition to the demo. Nellis AFB airshow is the only other place I've seen flares being generously used in their tactical demo. Anyone know why Nellis isn't happening this year?

Brilliant footage. However, you do realise that the same companies that released these amazing aeroplanes developed the technology to shoot them down before they were released into service. Do you really believe that an AI surface to air or air to air missile would be fooled by flares. Just saying.
