2009 Rhode Island ANG Open House - F-22 Raptor Demonstration (1)

[@cdell048]

The incredible F-22 is amazing. This was the second time I've seen this aircraft and nothing compares. I had a few friends who were speechless after this demonstration. I don't care what kind of aircraft your flying no one matches up to our highly skilled pilots.

lest we forget, a HUGE thanks goes to airshofansh and the IMPECCABLE camera work on this video. i know how hard it is to track a moving target from the ground like this, but the audio and video quality is SUPERB. as good or better than anything a hired pro could have done. KUDOS!!!

[@afamguy324]

This is a great video of the F22 Raptor. It is such an amazing plane. Hopefully I might have the opportunity to fly one of these someday.

[@highlanderlj]

This plane IS the definition of AIR SUPERIORITY!!! Look out world!!! It's best to be our allies and not our enemies!

[@F22raptor46]

My jaw hits the floor whenever I see the F-22 do its thing!!!

[@kc135delta]

If I were a fighter pilot the thought of these things hunting me would keep me grounded

[@YaBaBy5000]

[@andrewatchison1991]

True, i live in the UK and at Dawlish Airshow there were a radio station doing a outdoor broadcast! All the stations had was loud noise inbetween songs cos you couldent her the DJ lol :P

[@williepayt01]

[@staysicwithslipknot]

[@RadiioLove]

I love the part at 3:03 where you see right under it. :D

[@banger2181]

AWESOME

[@PitDriver]

Insane!

[@bujoun76]

@1bearcatf8f I wouldn't be so sure about specifics when it comes to the F-22. They're still classified but I did hear the previous Raptor demo pilot say "the F-22's engines produce over 37,000lbs. of thrust each" and then he threw in something else I found interesting. He said that "supercruise above Mach 1.9 is classified". I wouldn't be surprised if the top speed is considerably greater than the F-15's. Time will tell.

[@DNotarbartolo]

Thrust-Vectoring ROCKS!

[@strikeeagle345]

@nuovajolly thats awesome!

[@matthewcardinals]

@1bearcatf8f not ALMOST everything. it out turns EVERYTHING.

[@Airshowfreak77]

Love the part at 5:48

[@nwtruckerll]

the F-100 engines in the 15 produce 30K of thrust, 119s in the 22 produce 39K, USAF says 35K, LM and PW says 39K, top speed for 22 is the same loaded or not others tops speed is when clean. externals slow em way down. Combat loaded, the 22 is faster than the 35, I'm guessing the 15 as well.

[@wolfactivist24]

@MrIHateAmerica Stop hatin'. This plane is the best! It backflips for cryin' out loud! No other plane can backflip!

[@nuovajolly]

at 4.02 the plane hit's a bird with the right wind!

[@ybdiffrent]

And the su-whatevers may have their cobra maneuver, but they are one trick ponys. this baby has the full bag of tricks, and more. the best battle is the one that never gets fought.

[@cambruda]

haha sorry. I meant the Russians and China. Yeah they're trying to produce equivalent aircraft, but by the time they have them, we're already looking into other aircraft

[@elar55]

what makes u say they will take f22 out of service? they have wasted more money on upgradeing it then they have wasted building it so why would they suddenly put thousens of billions of dollars into hangers?

[@f22raptor62]

THE F 22 RAPTOR IS THE BEST JET

[@bmezay2003]

Look its starscream

[@kage1080]

STARSCREAM XD

[@nwtruckerll]

@1bearcatf8f Actually the Su is "faster". The 22 has a better CTR 28 degrees per second, the su 22 per second. (20000 ft) Red flag 2008-4....two part lecture-video :)

[@cambruda]

eh we wont wont have to worry about them too much

[@jstorm001]

all the taxes & debt is worth it!!!!! we need more f-22's!! not f-35's

[@PitDriver]

Insane!
