I’m very proud to be a part of the development of this aircraft, specifically the flaps and seals for the afterburner section of the engines. I worked for Gunner Manufacturing, which later melded into Gunner/Dynamic, back in the early 90’s. Thanks to my (soon to be at the time) father in law Michael Higgins who worked in procurement for PRATT & WHITNEY, I learned a skilled trade, and carry it with me to this day.
@@yanzn5926 F-22 pilots are unaware of/not allowed to perform many of the fighter's capabilities during training/airshows. There is a good reason we have written law banning the sale of the F-22 to any of our allies. That thing is a sleeping giant. What we see is not what we get.
The maneuverability of the F-22 is great for airshows. The real strength that allows U.S. Pilots to dominate over any adversary is what is inside that plane combined with it's stealth. There is simply no match. Thank God.
its stealth combined with its ability to engage outside all fighter's visibility and radar makes them deadly, the only time they can be detected is when its actively running radar which the pilot toggles constantly to stay invisible.
Yes winning airshows is one of the most important things a modern jet can do. I think to improve it they should use stealth missiles. Because if the missile can't be seen - it can't be stopped
Actually what sets the F22 apart is only its 2d thrust vectoring. The F35 is far superior, it does stuff the F22 does without thrust vectoring all because its FCS is still light years ahead of the F22s. Lessons were learned with the F22 and its all incorporated into the F35. Its also got second gen stealth which the F22 doesn't and its avionics suite combined with radar trump the F22s. I've done DACT against both, I am 1-2 against F22's and 0-3 against F35s all down in Yuma in a F18A. I fear the F35 more these days.
@@MetaliCanuck the f-22 with the newer technology would be even better then the f-35 though. Luckily u dont have to have the best performing plane anymore since whoever pops there head up gets whacked by our weaponry. Btw ive always been curious and maybe u can answer it. Ive flown in flight sims with active and retired military pilots for over twenty years and one thing ive noticed with f-16 pilots is there propensity to go into a flat scissors when they are really pushed hard. Is there something about the f-16 or the training that tends to favor this manuever?
Look at what you can do when you have gods own turbofan x2 strapped to your jet. That slow speed manuvering was just next level, the amount of control that jet has defies logic.
@@JohnTorcasio No it was a German Typhoon that "shot it down". It was in 2012 during a Red Flag situational training mission, in which the F-22 was carrying external fuel tanks and the dogfight took place at close visual range. In other words the F-22 would never be in this type of dogfight, it was a training mission. In reality, the F-22 (in full on stealth mode ie. no external fuel tanks) would shoot the Typhoon down long before the Typhoon even knew it was there.
@@JohnTorcasio After losing 6 Rafales in the process. And the "shoot down" only needed the Rafale to barely get a lock, doubt he'd be able to maintain it on the Raptor anyways
There is just always something magical happens Lockheed gets that "We are gonna build something here look". This here F-22 is a perfect example of that. Kudos to the Whole Team from head designer to janitor, this is one fine project that shows quality and teamwork.

I'm an old Marine F-4B pilot and I am mighty glad I didn't have to fight this plane! It's almost like fighting the AV-8 vertical TO bird except with unlimited power.
@@MVAT1000 not technically versatile cause it only has one role but it’s unparalleled in that role and nothing even comes close except for the f35 which can do just about everything the raptor can better except for the maneuvering and maybe stealth but that’s up in the air the f35 exists pretty much because it was cheaper to design a more rounded arguably better plane than the exorbitant cost of upgrading and manufacturing more f22s which is already an aging platform plus the f35 sells well to nations who don’t have the infrastructure or know how to make these planes but it’s alright the Air Force is already working out the last kinks on their 6th gen fighter they’ve admitted to putting it up in the air already
Figured I’d mention yes the f22 is better in the air superiority role which is why we don’t sell it and that mainly is due to the maneuverability and stealth if I’m not mistaken though the f35 used knowledge that learned from some of the mistakes of the f22 like the way they stealth coated it at first so maybe the f35 is as stealthy who really knows
You mean safe, don't you? With the estimated full lifecycle cost of just ONE Raptor @ $678 million, that makes me feel more embarassed than anything else. To each their own.
I think that the true potential in terms of maneuverability of this air superiority fighter was clear to all of us, nor do I doubt that the technology that is inside it and its stealthy capacity is not negligible at all.
I used to think that, but in retrospect, I would rather see what I am destroying: A-10 Warthog or Apache attack helicopter. You are in the action and delivering ordnance on the spot.
It's pretty hard to believe that this plane made it's first flight nearly 30 years ago. Just imagine what superior weaponry we have that has not even been revealed to the public yet....
Nope it didnt prototypes yes and competetion production was not awarded till later, I was on the source selection panel when I worked for DOD the other aircraft it competed against were impressive also

@@robertwilson3866not really.. it’ll be replaced by better jet. And my guess is it’ll still be flying well into the 30s and even maybe 40. This stuff takes time.

@@robertwilson3866 Its not, only 33 of the oldest blocks are and being sent to training units, the rest either have or are in the process of receiving complete modernization upgrades, itll be flying for some time
There was once a video where I guess they were having issues with the plane that was going to follow up the Raptor so they told the pilot "we've got a little time to kill, do you have enough fuel? Okay, do whatever you want.." NEVER tell a pilot that.. The pilot said "have you ever seen a F22 rocket launch?" He came in super low and slow and stood it up on it's ass right in the middle of the runway, maybe 50 feet off the deck (I don't even want to know how many alarms were screaming in his ears) and his airspeed dropped to nothing. Then he went full AB and full throttle and it just sat there absolutely roaring and shuddering like crazy. You could see all the little control surfaces that are computer controlled moving around like crazy in a desperate bid to keep the thing "flying" and slowly, incredibly slowly that 70,000lbs of thrust started lifting the plane up and up and up and started picking up a little speed and at probably about 200 feet he nosed over and levelled off and said "I think I better come around and land this thing now.." I'm sure he has absolutely no fuel left when he shut off because they only load a tiny bit more than what they need for the show so that if they crash the fireball will be as small as possible. I'm sure the pilot probably isn't allowed to fly anymore.. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen and I can't find it anymore.
I have seen them do that at Thunder Over Louisville. They set that beast about 100 feet vertically above the Ohio River, then slowly climb and drop horizontal, then wisp away.
@@orogenicman this was like full power off completely dead stop and then power back on.. It's amazing what those planes can do and I'm sure he got his ass chewed out for doing it as it could've very easily flamed out and wrecked at any moment.

@@jag8926 I am aware of this. The F-15 is a marvel of late1960's design that is still in the game with the new EX version which has proprietary avionics and hardware features that will not be available to other nations. The F-15 EX payload capacities far exceeds the F-22 not to mention the F-15 superior top speed which the F-22 cannot match.
@@opencarry3860, They do different jobs. The F-22 now does what the F-15 was originally designed to do and does it far better, granted at much higher cost. There is no comparison in an Air Superiority/Dominance role, but that is not the only role for fighters. F-22 can actually go faster with weapons than an Eagle due to external drag particularly the wing pylons (both aircraft with 8 missiles). F-15 was a giant leap forward in capability at the time as was the F-22 to at least the same degree. The F-15EX is a cost saving measure, not a leap forward in ability. That doesn't make it bad, it's just meant for a different purpose.
@@opencarry3860 the f15 is a little faster at full afterburner ,the f22 can almost reach those speeds without the use of afterburns,that’s the major difference
Just imagine what this aircraft would have been like if they had it designed it with full thrust vectoring capability We literally just watched someone come close to just parking their aircraft in midair, during one maneuver
That was the plan early on, but it was decided that it's impact on the stealth of the airframe wasn't worth it. Setting aside airshows, it's performance gains were deemed minimal in practical usage. What's really impressive is how close they've actually come to 3D vectoring performance without it. They credit those big rudders, but I've seen these planes do things that has me swearing they must be using a differential thrust program.
@@Anubis78250 It's actually mostly those huge horizontal tails; they're about the size of an F-16's wing, and the amount of drag they can generate that the flight control system uses to create yaw rate. At those angles of attack the rudders are essentially blanked.
Let's not kid ourselves. Both the Russians and Americans make fantastic planes. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. We tend to underrate the human factor. It's the combination of pilot+ plane that will win the dog fight not the plane alone. Let's hope we only see friendly planes in the skies and enjoy these incredible shows.
So I guess he wasn't allowed to use the Cloaking Device in the demonstration ? While thrust vectoring is neato, I was more impressed by the Harrier hovering and flying backwards at the airshows I used to go to 30 years ago in Tennessee.
the funny thing is that aircraft will never be in a dog fight. It will know the enemy before it even knows it is there. It was built to defy all radar and anything that exists. It is almost sad that this beautiful beast will never be used. nobody even knows its there
IMHO I think AUKUS should be able to get their hands on the Raptor, too. Certainly when NGAD hits the Air Force fleet, we'll need to either retire the Raptor or give someone else the chance to buy it.
Ummm East Sale is a functional RAAF base and the home of the RAAF Roulettes. Well I hope it is functioning because that is where all RAAF personal go to for basic training and learn to fly... we would have a pretty crappy Air Force if none of the pilots flew planes lol
Are these aerial manoeuvres and performances still unique to just the F-22 to this day? Or can - by now - other planes out there do at least some of them? Like the F-35 or others? Or internationally?
The Russian SU 57 is probably more maneuverable kthan the F-22 because it has more thrust vectors but those additional edges make your craft a lot less stealthy. As you see in Ukraine the Russian’s SU’s have not been able to establish air dominance because of anti aircraft system that have been shooting Russian planes out of the sky on a regular. The F-22 would easily dominate the sky’s over Ukraine within a few weeks if introduced into that theater of war. Maneuverability is good but survivability is better in contested air space and the F22 is still king of the hill in that regard!!
Those event folks, should NOT play any kind of music/noise, when a show is going on. For Christ sake....it is not only the view.....it´s a combination of looks, view and SOUND!
Gone are the days when the jet behind you has to try to figure out how the pilot is going to out maneuver of target range, when he simply stops and the fighter jet behind him shoots past him and then becomes the target.
I LOVE how American contractors build these amazing aircraft, and then we sell them to our closest allies. Teamwork makes the dream work baby! Nice to see Aussies utilizing the power of this aircraft! Let’s hope we have to keep their use to a minimum! God bless America and god bless Australia and all our friends abroad! Please clarify the statement from the op about wanting us to sell some to Australia. I thought we did. I know we have the RAF. I don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t sell to Australia. You folks have been by our side so many times it makes zero sense. Then again. The Aussies are known in America to be amazing in combat. Perhaps Australia simply didn’t need them? Anyone in the know please clarify. Thanks!

i ❤ this plane i want one nothing wrong with wishing 🙏🤞😜
Gorgeous.
considering we no longer have functional air bases in Victoria, I wonder where the various foreign visitors based their display aircraft?
I seen the Korean black eagles jets parked at the back of Avalon the place is pretty huge i would of thought at the sight.
Ummm East Sale is a functional RAAF base and the home of the RAAF Roulettes. Well I hope it is functioning because that is where all RAAF personal go to for basic training and learn to fly... we would have a pretty crappy Air Force if none of the pilots flew planes lol
@@simonrose8685 like here, across the ditch and the "HELEN EFFECT"...
MERICA!
Great video
f-22 raptor - awesome
That pilot damn near pulls off the Russian "Pugachev's Cobra" maneuver!
I saw an F-16 doe this 30 years ago.
If you see an F-16 do the falling leaf like THIS, it will be without the pilot because he ejected out of the flat spin.
Awesome jet. Do they still use these fighters today??
Are these aerial manoeuvres and performances still unique to just the F-22 to this day? Or can - by now - other planes out there do at least some of them? Like the F-35 or others? Or internationally?
The su-57 has similar super maneuverability, also su-33, su_35.. there's a couple others that can do some wild things.
The Russian SU 57 is probably more maneuverable kthan the F-22 because it has more thrust vectors but those additional edges make your craft a lot less stealthy. As you see in Ukraine the Russian’s SU’s have not been able to establish air dominance because of anti aircraft system that have been shooting Russian planes out of the sky on a regular. The F-22 would easily dominate the sky’s over Ukraine within a few weeks if introduced into that theater of war. Maneuverability is good but survivability is better in contested air space and the F22 is still king of the hill in that regard!!
FKN AWESOME!!!
get em while you can!
How many spies there watching?
f 22 best in the world, so good its not for its tech to be exported.
It's not the plane, it's the pilot.
Awesome!
Definitely the best in world,
Masters of the airalbatics
Definitely nasty and deadly
Pure beasts deadly deadly deadly 😎🇺🇸👍🙏✝️✌
Finally a working method
A controlled "Flat Spin"? Incredible. The F-22 is hand's down the greatest fighter jet in history. The F-35 is a sad follow up.
а вы видели СУ-30см2?
This fighter jet just one of the best,do you think US going to expose their military confidential information to the world so easily?
Freakin face in the sky at 3:21 just to the right of plane .
Best demo
Another great example of Air show DJs picking the worst things to play
Those event folks, should NOT play any kind of music/noise, when a show is going on. For Christ sake....it is not only the view.....it´s a combination of looks, view and SOUND!
Gone are the days when the jet behind you has to try to figure out how the pilot is going to out maneuver of target range, when he simply stops and the fighter jet behind him shoots past him and then becomes the target.
Not even that. AIM-9X and IRIS-T don't care about that. Off-bore lock and problem solved.
All jet fighters against the A-10 will be beaten by the A-10's ability to go slow. F22, "Hold My Beer."
Nice 👍
So,where's the showstopper? Looks to me like that the show continued.
The aircraft is an awesome achievement!
I liked it when he flew the Evel Knievel
USA!
I LOVE how American contractors build these amazing aircraft, and then we sell them to our closest allies. Teamwork makes the dream work baby! Nice to see Aussies utilizing the power of this aircraft! Let’s hope we have to keep their use to a minimum! God bless America and god bless Australia and all our friends abroad! Please clarify the statement from the op about wanting us to sell some to Australia. I thought we did. I know we have the RAF. I don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t sell to Australia. You folks have been by our side so many times it makes zero sense. Then again. The Aussies are known in America to be amazing in combat. Perhaps Australia simply didn’t need them? Anyone in the know please clarify. Thanks!
The only US fighter to ever be barred from export to ANYONE.
Very nice. Can it outmanoeuvre an air to air missile though?
For that price. I hope so-😮😮😂 Mine hasn’t let me down yet!
Yes
Beatiful..don't know if I was pissed or missed actual footage of F22 as advertised.. ?
Right On Go Army!
