You're 100% correct. Saw it last year in an air show in Warner Robins, Ga. Blue Angels were there as well. Blue Angels were the ones who were promoted as something you don't want to miss. And they were awesome. However, this frigging jet was what stole the show. Incredible maneuvering machine. And I'm sure we just witnessed a fraction of its capabilities.

I grew up in Michigan, effectively never seeing an Air Force base or AF jet before joining the AF when I turned 18 because I was so blown away and in love with jets. After boot and tech school (Army post called Aberdeen proving grounds) my first duty station was Nellis Air Force base. I’ll never forget a few weeks after reporting to the base was my first air show in 2006 and watching the F22 demo. I was absolutely blown away that it still leaves me speechless.

Really enjoyed this, Major, Great Job! My son who flies in a Navy Growler Squadron just returned from a deployment on a base with a Raptor Squadron. He gave you the ultimate compliment. "They're cool, dad, their jets and their pilots"!

Man, that is an impressive aircraft! To think the YF-22 is basically 30 years old and you still have this capability from a 22 year old fighter. I had no idea some of the abilities this airplane has. Before leaving tankers in 2004, got a chance to refuel one in training. Also, if you have the ability to go, Singapore is one of the most beautiful places on the planet! Thank you for this video.

When I saw the F-22 at Quonset RI a few years back, I couldn't believe the way this jet was being flown, it was the best flight demo I had ever seen, it was doing maneuvers that no other plane has ever done. God Bless our Pilot's.

The maneuver dedicatedly Bob Hoover gave me goosebumps. Bob Hoover, for those of you that don’t know he is ,was a god in the cockpit. The finest stick and rudder pilot to ever take to skies. I love that he is being immortalized with this maneuver.👍🏻

You are one gifted, accomplished and lucky man. Thank you for your service and God bless.

Awsome, can’t watch this enough. I love how you pay tribute to all who served and the legendary Bob Hoover, I had no idea that that maneuver was dedicated to him, great job. I just saw the F-22 demo on 09/11/21 at the NH PSM air show and it makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Thank you for your service and God Bless.

I like how he low key makes fun of the flanker cobra maneuver. Armchair pilots always criticize the F-22 for not pulling "cool looking" maneuvers and praising the SU planes for being able to flail around, not realizing that the controlled nature of the US cobra maneuver is more impressive and vastly more practical.

@@FoxWithTheAngels It'll probably be a long time before they can come up with anything that is a significant enough upgrade over the F-22 to warrant being a replacement. The F-22 was so expertly designed that it really doesnt have any major flaws or weaknesses in its intended role. Sure, some competitors may beat it in certain aspects, but the Raptor is still strong enough to hold its own and no one of those competitors can touch the Raptor overall. And even if someone does match it, nobody else has the numbers. Having a jet that can beat a Raptor is great and all, but we have 187 or so of them. So unless they can produce numbers to match them, that one jet will have to shoot down all of those Raptors. Not likely. To my knowledge, the Raptor's closet competitor is the SU-57. However, the Raptor is MUCH more stealthy (even the F-35 beats the SU-57 in radar cross section by a wide margin) and the SU-57 has been plagued by complications with production and judging by recent reports, the Russians are running out of money to keep it funded. In all likelyhood, the SU-57 will never have the numbers.

Just saw the F-22 at Selfridge Field ANG this July. It's an amazing aircraft and an amazing show and display. In 1945 during WW2 in the AAC my father came back from Italy and was waiting for his orders to go to the Pacific Theater at Wright Field, Ohio. While he was stationed there, he took part in disassembling and helped to reverse engineer captured German jet aircraft. They worked on making cut-away views on one of the jets in the machine shop there. He would've been proud to see the F-22. I miss him every day. He was my hero.

Nice! Thanks for your service!

I am so damn disappointed I still have yet to see an F22 demo. I almost saw it in 2008 or so but the show became mostly cancelled for financial reasons and they left. I just saw the F35 at Nellis this year do a demo and frankly that plane was pretty damn impressive for a single engine non-thrust vectored aircraft. I expected it to be a bit more compact like an F16, in person, but it's a beast of an aircraft. Flight control systems on F35 seem to be mega capable of making it do abnormal things. Would love to see an F22 and F35 combo demo...that'd be sick.

Thank you for Sharing Major. Aim High US Air Force.

As impressive as it's maneuvering capabilities are, you are only seeing a fraction of what the plane can actually do. From what I recall when I was in, actual top speed, distance/range and a number of other functions are still considered classified.

And, this is traditional flying, in actual combat the F-35 can track a, in reality, unlimited number of enemies simultaneously, and engage several at the same time, at any direction. The pilot can even turn in his seat, see through his own aircraft at an trailing enemy, fire a missile that will flip 180 degree after launch and hit the enemy behind him. 20:1 Kill death ratio at Red Flag, also before the resent upgrades speaks for it self.

ik most might not like this, but the F-22's 'Cobra' maneuver is actually called a Raptor Pounce.
