Chrome F-22 Raptor - WSINT 21B Launch and Recovery

[@mitubes]

The quality of your videos is out of this world!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RobertEMason]

I agree! Fantastic resolution!

[@brnby8984]

That chrome Raptor is straight out of Ace Combat, and I'm all for it!

[@e.a.n.n]

This is by far the highest quality audio I've ever heard for these jets, with headphones it feels like they're right there. Made my day, thank you!!

[@Spacemannnn31]

Amazing Camera work!!! Not easy to get such high quality shots of these airframes. Thank you for sharing!!! 🇺🇸💪🏻

[@CobraEmergency]

The amount of variety you get at Nellis is oustanding. Well captured!

[@CobraEmergencyNorthAmerica]

Well. I was curious to know what spotting at Nellis was like. Now I know - it's beyond epic. Such variety!

[@CobraEmergency]

Ah.

[@delten-eleven1910]

Something about those F-1s...beautifully swept lines. 05:58 ...and the F-35s seem to squeeze every last droplet of moisture from its wingtips like no other jet.

[@ZhukelDror]

And if they had cut the clip of that particular aircraft, it would have made this video 103% better. But they didn’t, so it’s not as pretty.

[@firemantim91]

I don't think any of us were expecting the Chrome Raptor to do a missed approach that day

[@UKAviationMovies]

Absolutely sick footage Rich. Love the landings! 😎

[@Rosweld76]

8:31 - Eagles to the Viper "Listen Viper... you're not one of us... but you can hang with us" So cool to see them in formation like this! Would love to see more mix-matched formation flying with other air-frames as well!

[@Alan-in-Bama]

Great Video ! I'm thinking the Chrome on the F-22 is either IR related or a substrate for active camouflage...

[@firemantim91]

That Chrome Raptor should've flexed for us 😂

[@Duality306]

Some new experimental coating... Sweet

[@dankuettel5063]

That Raptor looks amazing

[@EmillioMelendez]

I believe the chrome raptor is being used a test for the new NGAD

[@rondoofnightmare775]

Great video! And the F22 Chrome experimental coating...bet it's for countering Russian IRST on the SU57

[@44070Swinger]

My thoughts EXACTLY!

[@i_9_power_allah321]

Wow 😮 i wasn't ready for the French mirage,with that paint scheme.

[@treefittyfoh1562]

That F 22 looks like an experiment to determine just how effective an unpainted stealth aircraft can be without its coating. Cost savings? They only want it to be partially stealthy to mimic another plane like a Russian or Chinese Stealth attempt? Who knows?

[@beyourself4450]

Just seeing that f22 . Gives me goosebumps.. 🇺🇸!

[@i_9_power_allah321]

Peace, 9:31 is a beautiful shot,just look how the pilot is facing you. You can imagine the stick,pedals,trimming. Anyway, Awesome work!!!

[@atthefence111]

Love your videos!! Please keep posting! That Chrome Raptor though... wowzers

I found this video from the news, very interesting.

[@Skank_and_Gutterboy]

Hey, I think that guy needs more antennas on the bottom of his plane.

[@keithbrown2458]

I’m 69 years old ex military I am amazed with the footage that you have a great display for us this is obviously very private showing most people will not understand what you’re looking at having some knowledge but just a little incredible footage thank you ! As usual you amaze me with your presentations

[@RaptorDad]

Hmm Aggressor F-35s, definitely going to be a tough fight if they are going all out.

[@aviation.satire]

I wonder if they removed the stealth paint and the f-22 was an adversary

[@longsweep1]

Awesome video 'The Nellis Spotter' looks like Janet is passing behind the AWACS @ the beginning of this video

[@TheNellisSpotter]

Good catch. Didn’t notice that lol

[@mukadewolf530]

*The chrome like coating reminds me of the ww2 bombers , the reason why they coated those bombers was to disguise them from ground AA defenses, flying high and the reflection would simulate the sun flash.*

[@slickstrings]

No WW2 aircraft especially not bombers were chrome coated. It is simply polished bare aluminium. There were several reasons for this. Paint adds weight, and every kg counts. Time. bombers especially needed to be churned out at a high pace and moved to theater. keeping them for weeks to paint was a burden which at high altitude was seen as un-necessary towards the end of the war. Speed. A polished bare skin aircraft is faster due to skin friction than a matt camo paint job. Both fighters and bombers benefitted from this. There is no conceivable way that 'simulating' the suns reflection would be practical or even a good idea. Besides highlighting your position, how could you reliably fly at the correct angles to reflect the sun towards the intended audience? Not to mention that the sun would also be in a different position in the sky at the same time.

[@m1k3droid]

That F22 is the Raptolorian

[@nielsdorhout058]

Is the chrome just a testbed? Of are they all gonna be like that? Last year we had 4 visiting my home town Leeuwarden in the Netherlands, cant wait to see them again sometime. Great video 😎

[@MARSTYPER-rb6cj]

the f-22 looks beutiful

[@MZ-bl6wg]

7:08 ? And also 10:24 Anyone know what these are? Some amazing aircraft photo’s here!!!! Especially the secretive mysterious chrome 9:29 F22 wowwwww!!!! Great work to the photographer! Some jets here I haven’t seen much of, ever.

[@sergeant_salty]

first one is an L-39 Albatross and the 2nd one is an RC-135

9:17 for the title footage versus the other crap

[@Epicaviation47]

so epic

[@brianv1988]

What are those black things on the bottom of this plane at 1:51. Just wondering

[@CrackingGate]

Lamborghini Hurucan @ 04:40

[@TheNellisSpotter]

It was actually an R8. I almost stopped filming the plane to film it instead lol

[@CrackingGate]

@@TheNellisSpotter Can't believe I didn't notice it was a Mirage. Thanks!

[@MZ-bl6wg]

Man I love the advisary air painted aircraft, the Russian sky camo blue F-16’s , along with desert camo Iranian painted F16’s , F4’s , F5’s and F15’s! We ought to jsut send Ukraine some of our Red air F16’s on their colors. 🙂👍👍

[@Herkfixer1]

It's not necessarily a "chrome" paint job or anything experimental. Often planes fresh out of refurb or depot have no paint, just bare metal until paint and tail flash can be scheduled. If it was something "experimental", it would likely be taking off from Edwards not Nellis. Not saying that's what it is but it's much more likely since it is still painted on several critical surfaces and only non-critical areas are bare.

[@TheNellisSpotter]

It’s not chrome. But it’s also not bare metal. If you see the close up pics on Instagram these are mirror like panels. Nellis has had plenty of “experimental” aircraft take off from here.

[@i_9_power_allah321]

Looks like the aluminum, p 47s,38s,and 51s

[@florky_01]

4:32 is that an Aggressor F-16?

[@GameplayTubeYT]

What a Beauty! Maybe this variant of F22 is design to Enter Space and comback to earth and those reflective coating will help the F22 on Re Entry!

[@winstonsmith478]

F-22 apparently bare without radar absorbing coating. I wonder if they were testing how much just the shape of the aircraft provided stealth. Beautiful photography, by the way.

[@rogerbiggerstaff3293]

More likely it's a new coating being tested. They've done considerable testing of the shape's RCS/IR reduction signature, years ago.

[@ussspirit4812]

Would love to see this chrome bird at a 90 deg bank...

[@F3PIZZA]

Must be for defending against IRST.

Chrome coating is to counter laser weapon..

Why is there an F-16 in a russian paint job?

[@rogercalvert8998]

Gotta stay ahead of everyone else.. Or just coat the thing in aluminum foil to mess with their minds?

[@planetfun85]

Maybe they realised that f22 isnt that stealthy, and can be locken on.
