2023 F-22 Raptor Demo TWILIGHT Oshkosh EAA AirVenture

Saturday July 29th, 2023.

[@M66X]

This was the best demo I have ever seen in my entire life. Ive never thought id be able to see the raptor being pushed this hard with my own eyes. Some guy brought his kids who sat next to me as we watched. They went nuts when the RaZZ pulled it into the vertical climb after takeoff. So amazing. Best fighter in the world. 🇺🇲

[@NationChosenByGod]

only a fraction of what the raptor can do. True capabilities are a secret.

[@LilSebastian_]

Yep… they never show what aircraft are fully capable of at air shows and rightfully so.

[@HouTexHemi]

With the lighting you could see the afterburner exhaust so clearly and I didn’t notice any vectoring at all through the demo. Did anyone else see any place where you could notice thrust vectoring? If not then it just shows how much they are limiting it for these demos.

[@NationChosenByGod]

@@HouTexHemi None, in fact, F-22 does not need thrust vectoring to point its nose or perform such maneuvers. Thrust vectoring on the F-22 is just a bonus.

[@moosecapades1722]

Bad ass jet ...

[@Fauxbra]

Those positive to negative G maneuvers are so taxing on the pilot. That guy is in phenomenal shape.

[@sambuvca22]

Thers just some humans on this planet that can take max sustained Gs. it doesnt bother them, im telling ya. A gift many donot possess.

[@nerokcubreva]

@@sambuvca22 most fighter pilots are not unbothered by high g.

[@mjodr]

@@nerokcubrevaMost fighter pilots can take it all, despite whether they like it or not. It's hard, but these guys love it.

[@bekeneel]

@@sambuvca22 Yea indeed, same with like being on a ship on rough seas, some ppl get seasick, i once saw it, and i felt nothing.

[@MatthewPettyST1300]

The color changes on the Aircraft are stunning with the twilight show going from grey to a firegold with the angle change to the setting sun. Now I'm spoiled and want to see all the shows like this ! The clouds in the back ground are a plus with it adding speed, texture, and a reference for attitude change without a horizon to help.

[@venussavage]

You've paid for it with you taxes, so enjoy the colors. Just don't think about how expensive it was.

[@hardyharr9377]

Whats funny is that the certain senator from where ever the F35 is from promised X amount of jobs that would build said fighter jet, while the superior jet fighter known as the F22 Raptor was scratched bc the US congress is corrupt AF...All defense contract companies have 90% of congress members in their pockets...all it takes to bribe a senator is literally like 10k

[@PHAER]

The most incrdible aircraft flying since the retirement of the SR-71 and the Concorde. A piece of beauty in many ways. Fantastic footage btw!!!

[@MiniOne82]

Don't forget the Panavia Tornado.

[@Wise101]

In real combat, it seems like the pilot's ability to maintain consciousness is the only possible limitation to the full spectrum of insane maneuvers the F22 can perform.

[@CaptainAF07]

I was there during this demo and I have never seen or experienced something like this in my life! It was one of the most amazing experiences ever and I just wish I could see that airplane fly every single day!

[@blake068]

Same here, seeing it and hearing it in person is life changing. There's nothing like the Raptor, I wish I could watch it fly every day.

[@christinebarnes3493]

Hiya CaptainA - you saw this?! It’s amazing and the twilight is movie star-making. Love it ❤

[@camsdaddy09]

This was my family’s first time at Oshkosh and it was amazing. However, one of the coolest parts of it was that on friday we had picked out a spot right behind the line where you could not go beyond. Turns out Spencer was in front of us the whole day and we had no idea. We introduced ourselves and told him I had been following is content for years. He was incredibly kind and nice and had a great conversation with him. And got a cool selfie for a souvenir 🤘🏻. Thanks Spencer for what you do for this community!

[@spencerhughes2255]

Thanks for the support! It was really nice chatting and meeting you and your family at the Friday show.

[@breakerbreaker4990]

Thanks a lot for sharing ! Colors and lighting are stunning on this one ! The Raptor is such a beast, years ahead of the competition. Greetings from France 🇫🇷 and God Bless America ! 🇺🇸 🤙

[@Yakob135]

And god bless you and The French our oldest Allies!! 🇫🇷

[@GetOutsideYourself]

Those clouds! That lighting! The mach diamonds. What a feast for the eyes and ears.

[@chrisblashill7265]

An F-22 Raptor, being pushed as hard as it can, full afterburner, at sunset. I think this just became the new coolest video on KZbin.

[@MrMaxyield]

By far and away the best demo of the F22 i have ever seen. Great camerawork and perfect lighting 👌

[@userbosco]

I used to be a DOD contractor supporting operations at LAFB in Hampton, VA when these amazing birds came in to replace the F-15 squadrons. We'd spend our lunches just staring in awe as they did their exercises right in front of us. I still get that same feeling today when I watch videos like this. Thank you!

[@humantwist-offcap9514]

The F-22 is so capable, and we are so confident in it, that its maneuverability is public entertainment and posted on youtube. Pretty wild. Cool to imagine what they aren't willing to showcase. Great camerawork!

[@MrScottgp]

Burners lit nearly the entire performance. An incredible aircraft and possibly the most threatening sounding aircraft in the sky today

[@tbmdd]

The F-35 is louder.

[@tylerwickwire1522]

​@tbmdd I beg to differ. The F35 IS louder when they go vertical. But that's because the thrust is facing down. Also the F22 Raptor can reach mach 1 without the afterburner engaged.

[@robburgundy9539]

@@tylerwickwire1522no need to start a silly argument online

[@zo2246]

​​@@tbmddthe f35 flew moments before this raptor demo.. the raptor was noticeably louder..

[@tbmdd]

@@tylerwickwire1522 I've attended nearly every airshow there is to attend in the US and abroad and I can say with absolute certainty the F-35 is the loudest jet I've ever had the pleasure of watching. It's so loud it rattles/vibrates your bones/insides.

[@JoshuaSkummer]

I was lucky enough to see this live!! Another beautiful Oshkosh sunset show!

[@Monty-Remick]

The way the sunset was gleaming off the raptor was bad a**!!! 💯

[@yfugfiegfiwebg]

yea well my dyslexic ass thought it was a full on dcs render....

[@sugarpoultry]

The raptor is such an exceptional aircraft. Love those roaring engines. Such incredible precision and speed!

[@jamesgrant8289]

Thanks for that! It was a short sighted crime to only build 187 Raptors .

[@sdoc3]

Jesus, I will never travel to another airshow after watching this. No point. This is the pinnacle of airshow and the video is mind blowing.

[@johnosbourn4312]

F-22 Raptor, The Apex Predator of the Fighter World, and also the baddest fighter to ever see service!!!!!!!!!!

[@f0rumrr]

The sunset lighting adds so many dimensions. I thought the thumbnail was a fake one, but i was wrong.

[@lyncressler2608]

I've seen this plane preform at mtn home afb and when he did this fly over the flight line ... it was beyond LOUD !!! The b1 and this rapture are my fav planes !!!!

[@deadlybladesmith3093]

Getting to see this in person was astounding. I was on the far left side of the line so he flew directly over me several times in this particular show.

[@redblueiris]

This has such a calming effect on me for some reason, the colors in particular are breath taking. Feels like my soul is up there, very romantic.

[@Lamblughini]

The colors the sunset provided were absolutely stunning!

[@bowhuntbum319]

I don’t know much about photography but very good work tracking that beast can’t be easy tracking a fighter zoomed in.!

[@acrobaticfish]

The backdrop and the lighting are bananas. Thanks for capturing this.

[@herridge819]

Wow, awesome bit of flying that. Great video too, thanks!

[@jamesrviar526]

Absolutely stunning video with those clouds behind...best I've ever seen of the Raptor. Well done!!!

[@rationalthought846]

Nice video. Love the twighlight shows at Oshkosh... especially with the clouds in the background. Very dramatic. For my money with the variety of aircraft during each days flying, Oshkosh is far and away the best airshow on the planet. F-22 always a highlight but so many great aircraft on display and in the air over the full week. Loved the Lockheed Constellation flyby and landing- but there are dozens of fantastic arrivals over the course of the week. I have noticed the crowds seem to be bigger every year... seems like the word got out.

[@osci08]

This is some of the most awesome aviation photography on the internet ATM, Very impressive capture Spencer.

[@gprimeofx]

The Ultimate Silver Bullet, I absolutely adore this jet!

[@Bucketnate]

Here we go! Love your vids sir and was looking forward to this show since I left Thursday morning o7

[@jimowens2283]

Without a doubt, this is THE BEST lighting and background I have EVER seen. Kudos for the excellent work.

[@mattheweichler]

This an absolute beast of a machine. I live about 20 miles north of Dayton Ohio, and we get to see it every few years or so. Some of the maneuvers this thing can do are mind blowing.

[@MattyLMurda]

This is the best filmed video of an aircraft I've ever seen

[@charlesgplott5133]

Marvelous Video!! Perfect sky and Incredible Tracking and Sounds!! The "surly bonds of earth" were definitely "slipped" on this afternoon! THANK YOU for sharing! Beavercreek, OHIO, just a few miles from the USAF National Museum

[@ricecakeFTW]

Seen the Raptor fly man times. But this time during the evening and the sky glowing made the Raptor look even more stunning. Beautiful capture! Thank you for sharing!

[@kevinwheatcroft]

I’ve seen a Raptor demo once, about 10 yrs ago in Oregon. Now I have the chance to see one at Oceana in Sept. You know this airplane is the baddest of the bad if the Navy is inviting a USAF bird to their show….

[@bernardanderson3758]

I was there and watched this powerhouse with all military afterburner and the sound of freedom

[@stephenbrown1077]

That was awesome Spencer, thankyou for sharing. Brilliant display made better by the time of day 👏

[@k1ng_kano_]

The soundscape has to be really great on site. In Germany, where I live, something like that is unthinkable. F-22 is a great airplane, it looks great when tilted and really great with the sunset.

[@robertrobert1971]

Agree this is the best F-22 demo I've ever seen as well. This is my favorite fighter.

[@rfleming7883]

You have to give kudos to the pilot. He must be in fantastic physical condition to withstand those kinds of maneuvers and the g forces produced and still be able to think clearly. Also, the Raptor is a fantastic design, so beautiful to look at and such flyability !

[@aviation-action]

NICE capture! Really wish I could have been there... EPIC!!!!

[@robihobby9490]

Holly Sh.. 😲 Twilight & Afterburner best combination ! 😁👍 Wunderbar !

[@FlyingHighVeteran]

Definitely one of the better demo's of the F22 that I've seen in sometime & I've seen many--even the lighting was exceptional for the show--just beautiful. Those Pratt & Whitney F119 engines roaring out that sound of freedom.

[@snail415]

Been to many demos. This captures a better experience than even being there. Amazing weather and demonstration.

[@leonardodausa3963]

...ahhhh Mr. Spencer...you got me emotional...thank you...

[@bigpapi8179]

Best fighter plane on the planet . ✈️ God Bless America and our military. 🙏 🇺🇸

[@KevinW3278]

Awesome video and demo. The twilight is a neat variation. I have seen F-22 demos several times in person and this one is really nice. The turns @4:08 and @6:12 and the vertical climb at @6:55 are just awesome displays of power and manuverability.

[@bluecrayon007]

what makes it even cooler to think about is all this stuff shown is like 10% of what it can actually do

[@DJ279V]

The sunset just put this demo on a special level!!

[@chrisstopher2277]

f22 reminds me of a flying squirrel and in a great way.

[@kultursender6507]

that looks awesome with the orange sunlight

[@babeburroughs9091]

Absolutely insane watching this Raptor perform, seeing only bits of it's capabilities!! 🤩💯💥🙏

[@stocktonrails9279]

I have to agree- this is an awesome video of the F-22 Raptor in action, showing exactly what it’s capable of when flown by a skilled pilot. And the beautiful orange sky in the background and expert filming just adds to the entire experience. I’ve been to plenty of military airshows back in the day… this video makes me feel like I’m there again! 👍👍

[@eilois]

great plane, great pilot, but also equally important, GREAT CAMERAMAN!

[@michaelcarrier4374]

[@jinyuanzhang9846]

This was the best demo I have ever seen

[@Kevin-tn1hp]

Absolutely insane-O!! My new order of top 5 all time fave jets is: F-22, F-16, F-35, F-14, F-18. The exhaust is even redic. Craziest looking afterburner. Almost looks fake. The pilot in this is superb!🇺🇸Merica!!

[@chrishopkins8987]

Fantastic work, really wish I was there.

[@angelguzman5958]

Sunset demo soo SIIIIC🖤

[@evrydayamerican]

Was hoping and maybe i missed it to see the Leaf either way such a beautiful plane and nice camera work my guy. USA USA USA

[@delten-eleven1910]

I'm certain the low gas tank warning light came on before the end of the routine.🤣

[@chickentuber]

This dude has the best job in the world!

[@delta-31]

I loved this, it was even better in person. Wish I had a better camera than my phone!!

[@RealisticZeus]

Crazy I think of how much thrust must be coming out of the engines in order for the afterburner flame to be that long and stay rigid in the turn and not be blown out of shape

[@yomama629]

35,000 lbf per engine

[@vincebermudez869]

Great video and i love the Raptor.

[@taidean]

Man, makes me want to install the DCS F-22 mod after watching this
