Insane !! Afterburner Take Off USAF Stealth F-22 Raptors to Lask Leeuwarden Airbase EHLW 19 Okt 2022

Never actually faced a capable enemy fighter. It has only bombed ground targets and many stationary ones, which can be done by many other fighters as well.

i live in the UK and don't get me wrong we have built some great military aircraft but i would say that America builds the best and watching the war in Ukraine at the moment the Russians would not have a chance against the west .

[@RonBand01]

Never forget the Rolls Royce engine that was placed into those P51 fighters that helped turn the tide of WW2. Made in the U.K.

[@foobarmaximus3506]

@@RonBand01 That engine was convenient and available to install. Nothing big there. We built them in the USA. Britain was a dead-duck by then, wiithout the USA.

[@kegginstructure]

I remember when the SR-71 was demonstrated for a New York to London mail run and the thing lifted kind of like that. Then tipped the nose up at least 70 degrees up and accelerated so fast that the camera at the other end of the runway had trouble following it. These beasts of the air are all pretty much incredible machines.

Probably in a hurry to meet up with his airborne fuel truck.

[@nickyalousakis3851]

i'm in canada and remember the blackbird coming to the toronto airshow in eighty six. came in almost in a dive maneuver with very little sound then full up with an after burner longer than an apartment building. the sound it made was like none other. i used to love the voodoss too. the AK on the raptor is that for Arkansas I wonder?

I was thinking the same thing. Wasn't there an incident related tho this a while back?

Well the thing is that the F-22 and F-35 aren’t designed for the same things

[@johncoffelt6645]

[@ismaelmetero4121]

Adembenemend mooi...

[@n531ed]

Oh the F15 went straight up until it almost disappeared from sight. It is still the most impressive performance I have ever seen!

[@rubenvillanueva8635]

I was a Tower controller at an air base near Phoenix, when on this day, an F-15, called me for clearance. Requested FL410, from KLUF Luke AFB to KLFI Langley AFB, Virginia. Coordination with PHX Approach and ABQ center, came up with his clearance. "Cleared direct to Langley maintain FL410, Restriction: Climb to FL 410 within 5 nm of Luke AFB. Pilot, read back the clearance and said "No sweat on the restriction". I went out on the towers catwalk with my binocs, and watched as the F-15, nosed up at midfield, and climbed vertically into the sky, he reached FL410, remaining within the confines of the restriction and headed East. That was the most impressive climb by any aircraft I have ever witnessed.

[@n531ed]

Both the F15 and the F16 in their original configuration used the same jet engine, except the F15 has two of them. During the early time to climb tests the F15 broke every record with the exception of the SR71 and the X15. As far as fighter aircraft go even the F22 can’t fly as fast as the 15. Respectfully. I followed this closely and I lived on Eielson AFB at the time of the tests. Later as a Airman stationed at Eielson I found a European aviation publication that posted the actual time-to-climb stats for the F15, when I showed it to our Intel section they had a cow because it was supposed to be “classified”.

[@n531ed]

@Phillip Banes I’m with you brother, I hope the new engines do everything they want them to do. I think we may need everything we’ve got when China makes their move on Taiwan. I am so afraid Lincoln was right when he said we could not be defeated from a external force, the real danger will come from within.

The B1-B has the best look when in afterburner. My humble opinion.

[@ruger8412]

And hey look you can see & touch them unlike the unicorn of the Su-57. It's because the su57 stealth is actually black & gray gorilla tape & they don't want you to see the Garmin taped on the dash using 3M tape.

[@pierreschmidt271]

The fact they don't start with brakes on full dry thrust ruins the acceleration at the beginning.

Augmetor not afterburner. Augmentor is used in bypass turbo fans. Afterburner is used in older non-bypass jet engines.

[@jimkillen1065]

I not a pilot, I been told there is a minimum air speed based on sevel things and doing the nose up and landing gear below that speed is a bad idea . I listened to a retired military pilot talk about a plane that did this too soon and after burning did not help .. Plane was going to slow nose up gear up , belly landing. I not suggesting these pilots are doing that here but it was a bad idea to do that

[@JC-oc7um]

Damn……..

[@Tool-Meister]

NOT INSANE! Fairly standard “military type” take off….

[@Tool-Meister]

@Phillip Banes TRUE. I was trying to express the normality of the take off. That’s why I spelled out military power. Bad choice of terms. I’ll edit.

@@maxcorder2211 What do you mean?

[@Diemerstein]

Two of the most impressive fighters in service today are the F-22 and Eurofighter Typhoon, not saying one is better over the other, but will say, nothing is in service by any potential adversary that can challenge either one.

[@foobarmaximus3506]

Typhoon is OK, but not even close to the F-22.

[@Diemerstein]

@@foobarmaximus3506 Tell that to the Typhoon pilots who scored more kills against the F-22 vs the other way round at the Red Flag exercise! The F-22's only advantage is stealth, the Typhoon has all the other advantages. So claiming the Typhoon is not even close tells me you don't know much about either one. The Typhoon is one of the most advanced air superiority in service today, it is only second in stealth!

It's so easy to see why we don't sell the F-22 to our allies!
