USAF F-22 RAPTOR FREEFALL AT HUNTINGTON BEACH AIRSHOW 2023 - 4K

[@patriot798]

by far the best plane in service in the world to date.

[@marvFX01]

scary to think that an su-57, while perhaps slightly at a disadvantage on 5th gen data points, it has the capability to carry a nuclear payload. something the f-22 cannot do

[@search4greatness]

@@marvFX01 su can carry that payload right into the ground when it tango's with the raptor.

@@marvFX01This isn’t the 1860’s lol we don’t need a jet that Carries a nuclear payload….that’s useless LOL The Raptor will down it before even gets halfway to its drop point anyway💀😂 .

@@marvFX01Doesn’t matter if a raptor sees one in combat or not, you honestly think the US is just gonna let a jet carrying a nuclear pay load straight to America? GET REAL, Not only that but we do have nuclear systems that have way more efficient delivery than a jet…with that being said, there is no advantage of being able to put one on a plane….and 3rd you just contradicted yourself, if the US has been doing it with the B1 then why on earth would the raptor need to have that ability?

I saw a Raptor demo at the Dover AFB airshow a few years ago. First one I'd ever seen. I was in the USAF for over 22 years, 18 1/2 as an air traffic controller. Saw many F16 demo practices at Hill AFB back in the early 80's, and it was impressive. Saw many F15 demo practices at Holloman AFB in the early 90's. Not as impressive as the Viper, but still really good. The Raptor can do things that should be physically impossible. I walked away from the demo in disbelief of what I had witnessed. An incredible aircraft!

[@michaelmorin1926]

I grew up just off base at HAFB. I never get tired of watching all the different aircraft flying in and out. The F4's were deafening and responsible for a lot of cracked home windows in the area. By chance were you stationed at Hill when Capt. Hauck went down in his T38 Thunderbird??? That was a sad day.

Thank SecDef Gates for chopping procurement of these jets 90%. He should be in jail.

[@denniskix5471]

interesting fact with the F22. When Lockheed delivered the F22, somewhere in the documentation, they said that the pilots could operate the jet "with reckless abandon" and would never loose control of the jet (the computer ensures that the jet is always within the stable flight regime).

[@sid2112]

The F-22 Raptor is the definition of "Everything you can do I can do better" doctrine.

[@yawningkitty457]

Although I've seen it a bunch of times before, it still amazes me how the F-22 goes from flying to not flying but not crashing either and back to flying again, also just how small was that min radius loop he pulled right before the taleslide, I have not seen anything like that before, from any airframe, that was insanely small.

[@chinqlinq89]

I finally got to see it briefly in person this past Saturday while driving and seeing it dance around in slow speed just a few hundred feet above PCH was insane. There was an exodus of people leaving on their bikes or to their cars while it was performing due to the rain Im assuming but ended up stopping to watch. Felt like an alien was above considering everyone was sticking their heads out their car windows and dead stopped in traffic 😂

[@RobRoss]

@@chinqlinq89 I’ve been vaguely aware of the F-22 but never seen an exhibition like this. I am blown away. I assume it’s using thrust vectoring? But you’re right, this plane is astounding! It’s too bad they canceled this plane! Then again, I’m not going to second guess the needs of the military just because I think this is Best Plane. 😂

[@drodriguez3935]

I seen it maybe 16/17 years ago at an Air Force Base in California I literally stopped all train of thought and focused on a American war bird. While, my daughter thank God she was fine. Ran off about two football fields. Yeah, she’s a runner. It was something that just shook you from your whole core as it drove by in slow motion. Yeah, I said drove because that’s how slow it was going. I’m still in awe. So much so that I have not went to another airshow for the simple reason that they didn’t have the F 22 in their lineup.😂 🇺🇸

[@chinqlinq89]

@@RobRoss Thrust vectoring definitely is a major factor in allowing it to have the agility and ability to do what 99% of other fighter jets can't, but I assume the design and size of the wings also play an important role on its ability to maneuver at such slow speeds without stalling.

[@MIG29SUU27]

@@RobRoss You are not the only one to “second guess the needs of the military”. The Department of Defense cancelled the F-22 to fund the F-35. Both the Secretary of the Air Force Michael Wynne and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force General T. Michael Moseley were fired for trying to get that decision reversed.

I grew up around Pease AFB and was awe and stunned by the f-111s, f-4s and thunderbirds T-38s…which ultimately led me to join the AF at 17.

[@hondaspeed6785]

Just saw the F35 demo and was quite impressed. But this thing turns it up a notch or 2. The low speed manouvres of the Raptor are insane. And the 360 degree turns are so tight. It will fly circles around the Lightning II.

[@Knight_Kin]

F-22's role as an air superiority fighter means it exceeds F-35 in turn radius and total top speed (F-22 supercruise almost hits F-35 top speed with afterburners, for example). This is by design and not some mistake given the F-35 is a multi role fighter bomber with a different mission set. NGAD is what's replacing F-22's fighting role for near peer conflicts. F-22 was top dog at a time when near peer conflicts didn't occur so it came and went. Great plane that just didn't get a chance to prove itself like it's predecessors. I would say the F-22 is still the world's top dogfighter and air superiority, with avionics capabilities only exceeded by the F-35.

[@ialsoagree1634]

@@Knight_Kin Spot on, and it definitely still plays a role as a deterrent. Any pressure China may want to put against Taiwan will ultimately put them up against F-22's. Their counter to the AIM120 might have longer range, but the longer range is useless when an F-22 is able to fire and hit without the enemy ever knowing it was there. The range on these birds mean they can easily launch from Japan, make it to the straight, wreak havoc on any Chinese fighters, and then refuel on their way back home. While China may be pouring money into it's ability to repel US naval assets, that won't help them against Japanese based F-22's who will be able to achieve air superiority even without the assistance of US carrier groups. The F-22 might be on the way out, but it's still dominating the battlefield in the minds of our potential adversaries to this day.

Sitting here, mouth wide open in amazement. Such a good display and well filmed. Like others have said, very tight turning at such slow speeds I didn't think we're possible without stalling. 10 out of 10!

I swear this aircraft becomes more and more maneuverable with each year. I've never seen an F-22 do a Cobra, or that tail slide loop before. I'm sure that it didn't do these maneuvers 10 years ago.

[@invertwiley1689]

I think it's just the more people start to know about it, the more they're willing to show off at an airshow. It's still a very classified fighter that they won't sell to any other country. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if it could do even tighter loops than what was showed here.

[@controlledburst]

Using flares is EXCELLENT to give a video viewer a sense of relative motion perspective (especially with sunshine). It and it's smoke clearly exhibits the low, or absence of, forward motion, being below control surface maneuverability - the pointed strength of vectored thrust aircraft. Often zoomed in videos of a performance totally removes this perspective, which diminishes the purpose of the F-22's demo. (Some maneuvers are better exhibited zoomed out). Nice upload, a great new aspect of the formatted Raptor demo.
