The F-22 Raptor: I pray to god we never have to use it, but I sleep good at night knowing we can.

I keep on coming back to this. This is the best F-22 footage I've ever seen

I was at this air show and it was nuts how once the 22 got in the air literally everyone stopped what they were doing and watched. The 22 was the last demonstration of the event and even the people leaving to beat the rush stopped and watched. All eyes were in the sky, and nobody spoke. Was cool seeing the 22 in action, 1st time seeing it for me. Got some pretty cool pictures, even one almost identical as the thumbnail of this video.

I was at this airfest event and it was the first time I’ve been to an air show since around 2016. Seeing the Raptor in person was an absolute sight to behold. Your camera work is astounding

The sound of freedom

I had the opportunity to be a crew chief on this bird for 3 years. It was the coolest experience of my life! Good ol Tyndall afb.

Loved Tyndall AFB!

I feel like the scariest thing is as i watched some of the demonstration my only thought was "This thing doesn't fly right". As in from all the planes ive seen preform, its like the F-22 just has its own set of rules.

Then you must have missed all the Sukhoi demo flights ever, because what those plains do in the air makes the F22 look bland, slow, and inert in comparison. They do things that genuinely look like someone turned off physics. This? Nothing remotely impressive about this demo. Any fighter jet can do all these things.

If you’ve never seen these in person, you gotta find an airshow near you and go. The things they can do is incredible! All the aircraft there are so fun to watch!

I had the pleasure of working on the Raptor during flight test at Edwards AFB. The thing I remember most is that the test pilots would say that the Raptor would never get out of configuration. They couldn't get it to stall. This aircraft can maneuver where other aircraft can't. So impressive.

@@dnjoy From what I've heard from people who actually know fighter aircraft, it would be generous to classify Su-57 as a true 5th generation fighter aircraft. It's likely more like a 4.5th Gen if you will. Not to mention their measly production numbers (less than a dozen have been produced).

Impressive footage of the F-22A Raptor with elegant maneuvers 🤩👍

The Raptor is such an incredible jet. Saw it in 2018 in Niagara Falls, NY. Wow.

I had the opportunity to work with a gentlemen that worked on the f-22 platform in the late 90's and early 2000's. I miss him so much. He was so influential in my life. He was a real "mans man". He was a tool and die maker for Lockheed.

LOL, I didn't even realize it was Dyess until the narrator said it at the end, I was stationed there for 3 years as C-130 aircrew back in the 80s. I could see Buffalo Gap as he was landing! 😆

Class footage of this fearsome fighter aircraft. Thank you.

hey tim I think I use to work with your dad

My 1st time seeing the F22 demo really made me understand the greatness of American air POWER!😎

I was there for that one! Unfortunately, we had to catch the show from the parking lot of the local bingo hall, because of the line of cars wrapped halfway around Dyess AFB. If you were there, you know what I'm talking about! It was almost as impressive as the show, itself. My girlfriend said she'd never seen me smile as much as when the F-22 came out. She was almost disappointed that I didn't smile that much at her. I'm sorry, can you fly at Mach 2, vector your own thrust, and turn on your own axis, all the while having the radar cross-section of a bumblebee? Didn't think so. ;)

Very nice footage!! I have generally only taken photos at the airshows but have not explored video to date. I'm curious what sort of focal length lens you were using for this footage?

Excellent footage!

Even as a Brit I have to admire the engineering of this aircraft. When it came out there was nothing close to it in terms of its capability. Even today it's near the top if not THE top of advanced fighter aircraft.

Yes, but it isn't good for anything. After 18 years of service, the only thing it has shot down has been a balloon. It is too expensive to fly in regular combat air patrol missions and it will never be used in large scale combat against China or Russia so it will be retired in five or six years and will never have actually done anything meaningful. Half a trillion dollars and about the only thing it does is perform at air shows. I think it dropped a bomb on some terrorists once, but an F-117 could have done that I think.

The most beautiful plane ever build.

Thanks to whoever this "Wingover UHD" guy is I cannot stop watching videos of the F-22.

Awesome Captures!! The Jet Was Loud, But Awesome

7:11 Thats so impressive... any other plane would've fallen out of the sky like a stone xD I mean the F-22 stood still for a second... i want this as a module in DCS rn xD

Lol I was just there with my EOS 70D! I got some great photos there.

WOW! What an amazing aircraft! John P.

The Raptor is such a sick sick jet. Great footage. New subscriber here! 👍

I love how physics exists and the raptor is like naw, 7:01 MID AIR SOMERSAULT

What a beautiful machine. Seen it many times, but it never fails to impress me.

Great video. Do you have a video of the entire team ground show with RAZZ saluting? Please post if you do. Thank you.

Excellent video ! It would be really awesome😊

Such a majestic bird. Nothing like it.

I’m so excited to see it in person at the Abbotsford air show

I’m honestly impressed by how well engineered the Raptors are. I’ve never seen any plane do the things it’s doing here. The F-22 really is the scariest thing on Earth with wings since the Cretaceous Period

love the raptor flashing the crowd at 4:32

The fact you can see it’s flame trail is fn crazy, like out of a video game

Sencillamente Espectacular !!!

Its crazy to see that the F-22 can go so much faster while not in public airshows

This amazing jet says "screw physics", I'm going that way".... F 22 Raptor pilots are the luckiest and coolest guys on Earth.

That plane is a masterpiece.

Absolutely mind blowing what this plane is capable of. Like most here have mentioned, this plane does not fall into the others category. It is its own rule maker. To watch that thing STALL??? BACKWARDS??? All the slow maneuvers…!!!!??? Crazy

I remember watching these taking off on sorties at Al Udeid when I flew in on my RNR flight. At dusk watching those burners go vertical was awesome. The biggest shame is America pulling the plug on the raptor program too early. Although the F35 has VTOL it's not quite the raptor. Beautiful plane. 🇬🇧

Just wait until you see an EA-18G. The raptor’s engines barely make me cover my ears, although it could be bc I heard too much 2nd world’s loudest civil defense sirens lmao. But the EA-18G was truly loud. I saw them do a flyover at about 100 feet then one turned away but another growler went right above me and shot straight up in afterburner which sure rattled the ground lmfao. In fact the ONLY time I don’t bring hearing protection to an airshow, there is a very loud jet powered fighter. Even tho there were jets at the Chicago air show, I barely needed my earplugs even tho there were F-16s and the legacy F-18 hornet. Saw a bunch of F-22s and I mean…they’re by no means quiet but prb the EA-18 seems so loud bc it produces a higher pitched crackle and not as much of a bassy roar like the F-22 does

the F-22 is a man made Barn Swallow if you have the pleasure of watching them as I do, I have lots of birds and none can match their flying skills and maneuverability

Is like the “sephiroth” version of airplanes

Seems like a thrust to weight similar to an F-16, departure resistance of Su-27 and instantaneous turn of F/A-18. I think the jet could have been pushed harder though. It was a good display but nothing other planes haven’t done before.

@griffinfaulkner3514

10 ай бұрын

Thrust to weight on the F-22 is actually slightly better than an F-16 at loaded weight and 50% fuel, even with the F-22's massive internal tanks. As for the restrained maneuvering, both the F-22 and F-35 are heavily restricted in terms of what they're allowed to show the public. What we do know is that it has such an unholy amount of thrust that it can accelerate during a 9G turn, something only an extremely low fuel, clean configuration F-16 or Typhoon can match.

Where is this

Where's the raptor with the FF tail sign?

"if you aren't afraid, you should be"

Was that the Terminator theme in there for a sec??

I was at a air festival they had a f 22 raptor AND IT WAS SO FAST AND LOUD OVER HALF THE PEOPLE COVERED THERE EARS

4:07 - 4:08 on the right wing, it looked like something fell off, its near the aileron.

SO F’n BADASS

The reason we get to sleep peacefully at night.

Shout out to the camera man

During these shows the Raptor doesn’t show what it’s capable of doing. It can stop in mid air and turn completely around in its own length. Plus an adversary never gets within 50 miles of it before being shot down. They can’t see it, so it hunts them down with stealth.

Personally I think from a natural capability he F22 is so much cooler than the F35 with it's maneuverability and air to air capabilities. The F35 is still a good jet but while it's (obviously) newer and considered a 5th-Gen, it does have more advances tech. Each has its own pros and cons but if I had the choice I'd take an F22

The f-22 is more romantic in a sense. A plane meant to dominate in dog fights and with amazing maneuvering. Don’t get me wrong it could probably destroy most things without they even realizing it was there.

i remember when i was a fighter pilot. MY craft was the F15 Eagle. The best jet in history. I was a Major General with the Marines but i became a pilot when i was just a chief petty officer in the USMS United States Marine Service for those that dont know. i dropped bombs in Baghdad. Also tyhe President would call me and tell me he has a top secret mission for me so i would do top secret missions. I was even allowed to fly to work in the F15 so i saved money on car insurance.

This thing is some kind of monster. Anything on the receiving end of this things wrath is doomed.
