It was terrible that the molds and jigs were destroyed at the end of the program, but we had to make sure they would not get into the hands of our enemies in Asia and Europe. Clinton was right to order them destroyed. It's bad enough bad contractor OpSec ended up letting the Chinese make a near copy of the front half of the F-22, for their stealth jet. The frontal aspect is nearly identical. The back half looks like the failed Russian copy of the YF-23.

Saw this same demo this last summer near my house. Had a picnic on my lawn, while watching the Raptor fly like a spacecraft, with no regard for gravity. The falling leaf maneuver is jaw dropping in person. The way that gold tinted canopy glints in the sunshine, reminded me of Master Chief from Halo. Just pure perfection.

That is so awesome you got to watch right from your yard. I'm not sure if this is the maneuver you're talking about. But at one point the pilot flies straight up until the next stops then slowly drops down. When they do this does the engine or engines actually stall or shut off? Sorry about my ignorance. I don't know a ton about jets but I'm fascinated by them. I think it is amazing what they can do.

@@egroegartfart The engines are still set at full power (military thrust, not afterburner) but the nozzles are being deployed downward directing their thrust like vertical take off jets do, just not to the same extent. What is also happening is that the huge flaperons, which in the WWII days were called horizontal stabilizers and elevators, are allowing the Raptor to ski down the vertical axis, like a mountain adventure skier or surfer on a big wave. When you watch those two big flaperons move when they do systems checks on the ground, you can see how truly massive they are compared to jets prior, even F-15 and F-16 ones are tiny in comparison. Two huge surfboards, ready to slip and slide the F-22 wherever the pilot needs to be to get nose on first and first kill. It is one slippery jet at the merge! Thanks for the question and the chat! Have a great week!

that frontal shot really captures the beauty that is the f22

I saw this when the Raptor team performed at a Thunderbirds air show and let me tell you, the sound on this video does NOT do it justice. It is MUCH louder in person. I was also surprised at how quiet it is when it's heading in your direction. I didn't even hear it until it was basically right in front of us.

That guy checking the raptor on startup seems so chill even though there is so much air moving through booster, seems dangerous but I know they know what they are doing, bad ass

Its never been in a dog fight so how does it have an undisputed title lol. It is one of the best fighter jets in this century for sure but there’s a reason for its discontinuation and the more versatile F35 taking the lead.

Awesome video work always sir. with respect to the F-22 itself ... please remember, it not about the actual operational units actually produced in the end. It's arguably more about the R&D inflows a particular program can capitulate on ✌🔛

I swear this has to be the most beautiful fighter jet ever made, the way it looks and maneuvers is just amazing. Too bad we'll never get to see the full capabilites of it, the only one's who do are the pilots and the people in the air force. The pilots are not allowed to fly the aircraft in public or in training with our allies at the same way they would fly in real combat, it's illegal. It also illegal for the US to sell the F-22 to anyone else. They also add stuff to male it less stealthy than it really is, we don't want to give away all the details and true power of it. The true specs are also classified, it can do a lot more then they say it can. The US is the only country that can own and operate it. It truly is an extremely impressive machine and an amazing piece of technology. I've always loved the F-22 and the more I find out about it, the more I love it. Great video, awesome to see the startup procedure, that salute he gave was epic, if I had one wish it would be to own one of these magnificent planes, or even get to fly one. Thanks for sharing this video, it was great 👍
