Five Elmendorf AFB F-22 Raptor Depart RAF Lakenheath | Quick Climb & Emergency | 09/12/22

[@MrFactualGamingOfficial]

It's a rare sight just to see ONE F22 Raptor, but to see multiple, god I love Lakenheath!!

[@TedConingsby]

Oiii oiiii 🤙🏼😎 I know right, and they clearly seen our noTEDS and knew we were coming so they decided to depart on that day. Oh and we were there for the last two as well that took off on the Tuesday. This will be Friday’s video as a head up 😎 ooohhh yeah, Lakenheath sure is awesome. 🐄

[@rowgli]

F22s are absolutely superb

[@TedConingsby]

Ooooohhhh yeah

[@BRUNO1974]

That was so Beautiful bright a tear to my eye They are so Spectacular Best on the planet 🌎 ❤ from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@TedConingsby]

They are phenomenal aircraft

[@armydog1002]

Thanks for the video. I’ve never seen an f-22 with external fuel tanks before. Very cool!

[@TedConingsby]

Oiii oiiii 🤙🏼😎thank you. Neither have we of any configuration as this was our first F22s

[@marks3750]

Saw an F22 at our local air show a couple of years ago. Very impressive. However the cow in your video didn't seem too impressed.

[@knoxyish]

i was there the day they arrived ! never thought id get the chance to photo f22 raptors ! but i got some good shots what a plane id happily watch them all day .

[@TedConingsby]

They are awesome 😎 This was our first time and we were live streaming too wahhhhhayyyy

[@michaelcarrier4374]

That was awesome. Pretty nice to see the two bag jets. That climb with two full bags was great!

[@Void48585]

You were so lucky to catch that the roar was amazing and they knew you were there again!!! loved the Hat! Ohh yeah! The emergency was a great catch and the climb with those afterburners oiii oiii

[@TedConingsby]

Oooohhhhh yeah 🤙🏼😎 It was one of Nikos’ dreams to see the F22s and a dream came true. Amazing to see and hear for sure. Yes, they clearly knew the TCS were there. This is why we put out the noTEDS 😎😂 Overall, the whole day was simply overwhelming and awesome. Yes, the roar/noise is superb and cannot believe we seen F22s

[@Void48585]

@@TedConingsby keep putting them noTEDS out it seems to be working! I've only seen the f35 not f22 and I only saw the f35b at RIAT but I'm going next year I can't wait to see what's coming!!!! Ohhh yeahhh!!!

[@TedConingsby]

@@Void48585 we can’t wait either and yes, the noTEDS do get notices by airmen wahhhhayyyy

[@seesafar9912]

I was there....built the barracks at end of runway. What fun-watching Raptors take off & land.

[@TedConingsby]

Ooooohhhhh yeah 😎💯🤙🏼 Oh cool you built them? How awesome. Yes it sure was fun to see them 🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@MilitaryAircraftVideos]

Nice. That climb at the end was the highlight. Next F22 display pilot.

[@TedConingsby]

Oooohhhh yeah 🤙🏼😎💯 It was something else that last climb

[@andrewireland7560]

Fantastic video love it Ted and nikos 😀 🤙 👍

[@TedConingsby]

oiiii oiiii man thank you very much

[@kylobear7991]

Oh yay! Those are my favorite Air Force jets in America! I love the typhoons in the uk too!

[@TedConingsby]

They are amazing

[@matthewcarruthers3141]

Saw them flying over Lynn quite high heading West, unusual to see vapor trails that close together

[@TedConingsby]

[@cogitoergosum1474]

West is interesting. Guess they can't go direct right away. Shouldn't they go north over the pole?

[@angbaker8549]

Wow, skim the cow 😂 Great capture

[@TedConingsby]

[@DougBrighTan_o7]

Oooo yes epic climb and marvellous footage on these F-22A Raptors 😁😎

[@Tilly-f7l]

This was very cool 😎 👌 Ted I hope you are Nikos are managing to have a little rest now and enjoying being home in the warm ..Ted hope you get to enjoy lots of salmon over Christmas 🎄 🥰

[@TedConingsby]

Oiiii Oiiii Wenda. We were so excited to see the F22 Raptors for the first ever time and couldn't believe it was going to happen live too. They were impressive. So, as we are preparing for a break, it has come to our attention that there may be some action next week...so as didn't do a Christmas special this year (but we set out to wear our hats for the whole of December as a festive theme) there might be a live Christmas special...We have got our feelers out for info...if we get the right info, we are going for it.. Thank you so much and yes, it is time to keep warm and eat lots of salmon. I love salmon... Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year Wenda 🎅🎄

[@junkpile1986]

what a chilled cow!

[@TedConingsby]

😂hehe 🐄

[@knoxyish]

@@TedConingsby thats lakey....

[@loiclaronche5675]

4 in a row - how nice. But what stuns me the most is ... the clear blue sky and the cow

[@TedConingsby]

Ooohhhh yeahhhh 🐄

[@matthew-gn4qd]

what a great video. love the vibe down the end of the runway there, loadsa good lifts and blue sky is a bonus. looked and sounded amazing 💯💥😀

[@TedConingsby]

Oiii oiii Matthew thank you so much. It’s great at the 06 end but as we say, we like to mix things up

[@lesleyploddypop2950]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Love you Ted 💖

[@SteveMorrisTCS]

So jealous it’s the plane I have always wanted to see, Happy Xmas guys

[@andrewaustin5678]

They are regular visitors to lakenheath. Sometimes twice a year.

[@TedConingsby]

Ooooohhhhh yeah and it was our dream to see the F22 and we seen 5 wahhhhayyyyy 🤙🏼

[@SteveMorrisTCS]

@@andrewaustin5678 problem is we live on the Wirral and with work and school it never falls right, still maybe next year 😀

[@Gsmooth10455]

Living here in the States I've been fortunate enough to see it multiple times at various air shows and locations in New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, but most recently at Nellis Air Force base in Nevada. It never gets old. I've seen the F-35A multiple times but have yet to see either the F-35B or F-35C perform. I saw the F-35A for the first time at Stewart airport in Newburgh New York in 2019, which quite incidentally was the year that the UK's Red Arrows were on their North American tour along with the Airbus A400M flying petrol station. Great show by the Red Arrows by the way.

[@TedConingsby]

@@Gsmooth10455 ooohhh yeah. Sounds awesome 😎

[@dave1455]

Thanks for the footage ,a big thumbs up

[@TedConingsby]

You’re most welcome Dave

[@rich3124]

Coolest plane in the world today!🙂

[@TedConingsby]

[@kylobear7991]

Wow! Ground crew drew must’ve been brilliant as usual assisting! Go team teddies!

[@TedConingsby]

[@andrewaustin5678]

The sunlight hitting the Raptors was glorious. I've never been to that side of the runway. What's it like for parking?? OH YEAH.

[@TedConingsby]

Ooooohhhh yeah The pilots knew we were there as they must have checked the noTEDS 😎 they made sure we got a good view wahhhhayyyy We at the TCS love being on the opposite end of the runway at Lakenheath for a different experience. Parking is the issue as it gets filled up quick as there is room for only about 7 carefully parked cars. Plan B would be to park it in the village and walk from there.

[@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214]

Cool vid Ted, I've yet to see an F-22 and only live 40 mins from LKZ so gutted I missed these beauties.

[@TedConingsby]

Oiii oiiii thanks so much. Our first time seeing the F-22s and then we seen then again a few days later oooooohhhhhhhhhh yeahhhh 🇬🇧🇺🇸🛩️

[@BRUNO1974]

[@Atticus3lack]

Do they know your there before take off? I wonder if they do and want to try and put on a show

[@TedConingsby]

Oiiiii oiiii Adam 🤙🏼 Well, we put out noTEDS to pilots know we are about (and of of course for our fans to find us) but I believe they do know as there are some specially timed turns/pulls/banks etc that would be a case of “if a tree falls in the Forest” scenario. So yes I believe so

[@ElephantKiller23]

If u live around airfield, especially when u r kid... no matter where u will go... " it " will stay with u forever

The raptors louder than the eagles ?

This is a very good question....

Ooooohhhhh yeah 🤙🏼😎

[@MustangF35]

Are the F22 always flying in the RAF Lakenheath? Are they based their?

[@TedConingsby]

Negative. They are not based at Lakenheath. They usually get deployed for a short spell once or twice a year at LN though

[@petervare]

Top flight

[@TedConingsby]

Ooohhh yeah 🤙🏼

[@redrazor9996]

Do we know when they are next due?

[@TedConingsby]

Not yet, but 1-2 times a year

[@redrazor9996]

@@TedConingsby thank you got to see them spectacular jets👌📸🤙

[@kylobear7991]

Oh that’s why they looked different external fuel tanks are not ideal for stealth capability but they add more fly time

[@TedConingsby]

That’s right, they are not stealth but no need, they will need them to get all the way to Alaska from Lakenheath ooohh yeah

[@oumo6078]

Do any planes fly on weekends

[@TedConingsby]

Most training is done Monday to Friday. However this time of year, you may get BBMF at Coningsby but you can always try Mildenhall or Brize

[@teytreet7358]

So that's what a TIE fighter sounds like.

[@LannytheLancasteBomber]

TED WHAT HAPPEND?'

[@TedConingsby]

About 20 mins into the flight, the pilot reported a ‘generator failure’. He had to shut down one of the engines and RTB.

[@kristineschneider9322]

Whenever I see Lakenheath, I feel bad for the cows.

[@Ghoster311]

F-22’s look so weird with external tanks. Like a Ferrari with a luggage rack.

[@TedConingsby]

That’s one way to put it. But it’s a looooooonnng way to Alaska

[@petermokran381]

that cow wasnt impressed at all.

[@TedConingsby]

🤣🤣🤣

[@BRUNO1974]

Send it

[@TedConingsby]

Ooohhhhh yeah

[@oldschool8330]

awesome

[@TedConingsby]

Thank you

[@josephastier7421]

Your tax dollars at play

[@Gsmooth10455]

Ted would you happen to know how many times they have to re-fuel with the three flying petrol stations in order to make it home to Alaska? I noticed that all of them had conformal fuel tanks as well which would give them even greater distance capability as well.🤓💯👱👈✈🛩🛫🛬

[@TedConingsby]

Oiii oiiii 🤙🏼 I don’t know officially but I think with the two external fuel tanks, I believe it to be around 2-3 AAR intervals. Hope this helps.
