Nice video of Raptor F-22. Not quite sure how much good 3-D flying is when we shoot down everything with over the horizon missiles, but it great entertainment!!!! http://www.f22-raptor.com/media/vide...ow_Langley.wmv |

I watched a few fly last year at Hill AFB. There were 4 flying in front of the crowd and a 5th behind the crowd doing all the thrust vectoring manuvers. The guy flying behind the crowd was really cool to watch. LJ

A close friend of mine was part of the development team at Pratt&Witney that did the 119 engine for that airplane. I remember when he first started there, he was not at liberty to talk about his work.... then when the contract was awarded he finally got to tell me about running the test engines down in the Florida swamps... This was before they relocated to Hartford (and he left Pratt)....

Wow! That is the most impressive demonstration of post stall maneoverability I have ever seen in a full size fighter! Awesome. I especially like seeing the tailerons move independantly during maneovers. The tailslide was great as well as the waterfall into controlled flat spin. Unreal.

I can guarantee you that the video or any of their performances do not show the 100% maneuver capability that it truely has. A secret is not a secret if you let everyone in on it lol. If you guys have not seen the russian thrust vectoring technology, that is something just as if not more impressive.
