- Six AK tail F-22 Raptors from the Elmendorf Air Force Base were due to depart from RAF Lakenheath. The F-22s had callsigns 'Cube' and they would meet up with callsigns 'Bobby 71, Bobby 72 and Bobby 73', the callsigns for the three KC135 tankers to assist their homeward journey.
However, things did not go to plan as one of the F-22s called a 'Red Ball'. A R'ed Ball' is any maintenance issue that comes up prior to an aircraft launch or during flight.did not even depart. Callsigns Cube 21-24 did manage to depart but about 20 minutes into the flight, Cube 21 had a generator failure and had to RTB and carry out an emergency landing. The F22 arrived and landed safely and the pilot was unharmed. I believe one of the KC135s 'Bobby73' had an issue whilst airborne.
Once Cube 21 arrived safely, Cube 25 requested a 'Quick Climb'...ooooohhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhh! And what an amazing Quick Climb it was!
The F-22 Raptors are part of the 3rd Wing and is identified by the tail code 'AK'. The 3rd Wing is a unit of the United States Air Force, assigned to the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) Eleventh Air Force. It is stationed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska.
The Wing is the largest and principal unit within 11th Air Force. A composite organization, it provides air supremacy, surveillance, worldwide airlift, and agile combat support forces to project power and reach. As the host unit at Elmendorf, the 3rd Wing also maintains the installation for force staging and throughput operations for worldwide U.S. DOD short-notice deployments, and provides medical care for all forces in Alaska.
The wing's 3rd Operations Group is a direct descendant of the 3rd Attack Group, one of the 15 original combat air groups formed by the Army before World War II. The Wing performed reconnaissance and interdiction combat missions from Iwakuni Air Base, Japan, at the beginning of the Korean War.
During the Vietnam War, the wing moved in November 1965 to Bien Hoa Air Base, South Vietnam, a forward operating base, which frequently came under enemy mortar and rocket fire. Missions included close air support, counterinsurgency, forward air control, interdiction, and radar-controlled bombing. Supported numerous ground operations with strike missions against enemy fortifications, supply areas, lines of communication and personnel, in addition to suppressing fire in landing areas.
Today, the 3rd Wing trains and equips an Air Expeditionary Force lead wing composed of more than 6,000 Airmen and E-3G, C-17 and of course, the F-22A aircraft.

It's a rare sight just to see ONE F22 Raptor, but to see multiple, god I love Lakenheath!!
Oiii oiiii 🤙🏼😎 I know right, and they clearly seen our noTEDS and knew we were coming so they decided to depart on that day. Oh and we were there for the last two as well that took off on the Tuesday. This will be Friday’s video as a head up 😎 ooohhh yeah, Lakenheath sure is awesome. 🐄
F-22 such an awesome craft and by far my fave of the modern US jets.
She’s a beaut
F22s are absolutely superb
Ooooohhhh yeah
That was so Beautiful bright a tear to my eye They are so Spectacular Best on the planet 🌎 ❤ from Scotland 🏴
They are phenomenal aircraft
That was just awesome..
Thanks for the video. I’ve never seen an f-22 with external fuel tanks before. Very cool!
Oiii oiiii 🤙🏼😎thank you. Neither have we of any configuration as this was our first F22s
Wow, skim the cow 😂 Great capture
Those Raptors sound really crisp
Ooohh yeah
I was there....built the barracks at end of runway. What fun-watching Raptors take off & land.
Ooooohhhhh yeah 😎💯🤙🏼 Oh cool you built them? How awesome. Yes it sure was fun to see them 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Ted is a total star even the USA Air Force must have known you were there Ted Nikos and Claire!
They sure did ooohhh yeah
Oh yay! Those are my favorite Air Force jets in America! I love the typhoons in the uk too!
They are amazing
That last one was cool!! AB all the way!
Ooohh yeah
Thanks for the footage ,a big thumbs up
You’re most welcome Dave
i was there the day they arrived ! never thought id get the chance to photo f22 raptors ! but i got some good shots what a plane id happily watch them all day .
They are awesome 😎 This was our first time and we were live streaming too wahhhhhayyyy
Saw an F22 at our local air show a couple of years ago. Very impressive. However the cow in your video didn't seem too impressed.
That was awesome. Pretty nice to see the two bag jets. That climb with two full bags was great!
Nice. That climb at the end was the highlight. Next F22 display pilot.
Oooohhhh yeah 🤙🏼😎💯 It was something else that last climb
what a chilled cow!
😂hehe 🐄
❤awesome job ❤
Oohh yeah
My word indeed jeez that last one was amazing.
What amazing bit of kit
Ooohhh yeah
4 in a row - how nice.
But what stuns me the most is ... the clear blue sky and the cow
Ooohhhh yeahhhh 🐄
Coolest plane in the world today!🙂
The sunlight hitting the Raptors was glorious. I've never been to that side of the runway. What's it like for parking?? OH YEAH.
Ooooohhhh yeah The pilots knew we were there as they must have checked the noTEDS 😎 they made sure we got a good view wahhhhayyyy We at the TCS love being on the opposite end of the runway at Lakenheath for a different experience. Parking is the issue as it gets filled up quick as there is room for only about 7 carefully parked cars. Plan B would be to park it in the village and walk from there.
what a great video. love the vibe down the end of the runway there, loadsa good lifts and blue sky is a bonus. looked and sounded amazing 💯💥😀
Oiii oiii Matthew thank you so much. It’s great at the 06 end but as we say, we like to mix things up
Fantastic video love it Ted and nikos 😀 🤙 👍
oiiii oiiii man thank you very much
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Love you Ted 💖
Oiiiii oiiiii Lesley ❤️💙 wow indeed ooooohhh yeah love from the TCS
Saw them flying over Lynn quite high heading West, unusual to see vapor trails that close together
West is interesting. Guess they can't go direct right away. Shouldn't they go north over the pole?
Oooo yes epic climb and marvellous footage on these F-22A Raptors 😁😎
Oooohhhh yeahhhhh
@@TedConingsby awesome bro and oooo yeah indeed!!! 😎👍
@@douglas_brighty_tan127 oooohhh yeah 😎🤙🏼🐄
Cool vid Ted, I've yet to see an F-22 and only live 40 mins from LKZ so gutted I missed these beauties.
Oiii oiiii thanks so much. Our first time seeing the F-22s and then we seen then again a few days later oooooohhhhhhhhhh yeahhhh 🇬🇧🇺🇸🛩️
The F/22 Raptor is a Beautiful looking fighter jet just awesome
Sure is
I’ve only been a paid member since five months ago so I’m just seeing this now that’s why I’m commenting so much!
Oiii oiii Kylo thank you so much. Oooohhh yeah
Great video 👍❤🇬🇧
Oiiii oiiii Nigel 🤙🏼😎oooohhh yeah

You were so lucky to catch that the roar was amazing and they knew you were there again!!! loved the Hat! Ohh yeah! The emergency was a great catch and the climb with those afterburners oiii oiii
Oooohhhhh yeah 🤙🏼😎 It was one of Nikos’ dreams to see the F22s and a dream came true. Amazing to see and hear for sure. Yes, they clearly knew the TCS were there. This is why we put out the noTEDS 😎😂
Overall, the whole day was simply overwhelming and awesome. Yes, the roar/noise is superb and cannot believe we seen F22s
@@TedConingsby keep putting them noTEDS out it seems to be working! I've only seen the f35 not f22 and I only saw the f35b at RIAT but I'm going next year I can't wait to see what's coming!!!! Ohhh yeahhh!!!
@@glxynukedude we can’t wait either and yes, the noTEDS do get notices by airmen wahhhhayyyy

*💪🏻🔥 Fantastic*
Ooooohhh yeah 🤙🏼 🔥
So jealous it’s the plane I have always wanted to see, Happy Xmas guys
They are regular visitors to lakenheath. Sometimes twice a year.
Ooooohhhhh yeah and it was our dream to see the F22 and we seen 5 wahhhhayyyyy 🤙🏼
@@andrewaustin5678 problem is we live on the Wirral and with work and school it never falls right, still maybe next year 😀
Living here in the States I've been fortunate enough to see it multiple times at various air shows and locations in New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, but most recently at Nellis Air Force base in Nevada. It never gets old. I've seen the F-35A multiple times but have yet to see either the F-35B or F-35C perform. I saw the F-35A for the first time at Stewart airport in Newburgh New York in 2019, which quite incidentally was the year that the UK's Red Arrows were on their North American tour along with the Airbus A400M flying petrol station. Great show by the Red Arrows by the way.
@@Gsmooth10455 ooohhh yeah. Sounds awesome 😎
1:11 photobombed by some f-22's while you were taking shots of the local wildlife cows
😂😂😂 excellent 👌 🐄
This was very cool 😎 👌 Ted I hope you are Nikos are managing to have a little rest now and enjoying being home in the warm ..Ted hope you get to enjoy lots of salmon over Christmas 🎄 🥰
Oiiii Oiiii Wenda. We were so excited to see the F22 Raptors for the first ever time and couldn't believe it was going to happen live too. They were impressive.
So, as we are preparing for a break, it has come to our attention that there may be some action next week...so as didn't do a Christmas special this year (but we set out to wear our hats for the whole of December as a festive theme) there might be a live Christmas special...We have got our feelers out for info...if we get the right info, we are going for it..
Thank you so much and yes, it is time to keep warm and eat lots of salmon. I love salmon...
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year Wenda
🎅🎄
Top flight
Ooohhh yeah 🤙🏼
nikos you have a merry christmas with your family and a happy 2023 and i hope to upgrade to join soon
Oiiii oiiii Keith 😎🤙🏼 Thank you so much for this lovely comment. Appreciate this very much and wishing you and your family a happy Christmas and an awesome 2023
So that's what a TIE fighter sounds like.
0:03 F22 Raptor climbing the fence he he Woowee! Listen to her howwwwl, magic. 1:27 Look at the Ribbons on that oii oii. 3:14 How high did he climb? He just kept on going. Deafening power and destruction of your ears. But it's a pleasure. Nice Raptors are rare in these parts however Regular guest appearances on Ted Coningsby Channels. Lol.😅😅😅😅😅 For the love of Fighter we pray..
Ooooooohhhhhh yeah the Raptor 😎😎😎
If u live around airfield, especially when u r kid... no matter where u will go... " it " will stay with u forever
Superb video. Wishing you all Happy Christmas
Oiiii oiiii Lyn 🤙 Thank you so much and we wish you too a. very Happy Christmas from all of us at the TCS
Not quite a Vulcan QRA, but pretty good.👍
Oh that’s why they looked different external fuel tanks are not ideal for stealth capability but they add more fly time
That’s right, they are not stealth but no need, they will need them to get all the way to Alaska from Lakenheath ooohh yeah
Wow some take off 😊🤣
Ooooohhhhh yeah 🤙🏼😎
Do they know your there before take off? I wonder if they do and want to try and put on a show
Oiiiii oiiii Adam 🤙🏼 Well, we put out noTEDS to pilots know we are about (and of of course for our fans to find us) but I believe they do know as there are some specially timed turns/pulls/banks etc that would be a case of “if a tree falls in the Forest” scenario. So yes I believe so
Caméra bien placée pour faire ces prises de vues.
Merci beaucoup 😎
Are the F22 always flying in the RAF Lakenheath? Are they based their?
Negative. They are not based at Lakenheath. They usually get deployed for a short spell once or twice a year at LN though
Do any planes fly on weekends
Most training is done Monday to Friday. However this time of year, you may get BBMF at Coningsby but you can always try Mildenhall or Brize
The raptors louder than the eagles ?
This is a very good question....
Whenever I see Lakenheath, I feel bad for the cows.
Do we know when they are next due?
Not yet, but 1-2 times a year
@@TedConingsby thank you got to see them spectacular jets👌📸🤙
F-22’s look so weird with external tanks. Like a Ferrari with a luggage rack.
That’s one way to put it. But it’s a looooooonnng way to Alaska
Where was.you standing ?
06 end 🐄
That poor cow must be deaf by now... lol
😆
TED WHAT HAPPEND?'
About 20 mins into the flight, the pilot reported a ‘generator failure’. He had to shut down one of the engines and RTB.
that cow wasnt impressed at all.
🤣🤣🤣
Calm cows.
Send it
Ooohhhhh yeah
The best air to air close combat superiority to come out of USA but we have typhoons and in tests the typhoon has beaten the raptor a couple of times 😂 awesome to see multiple quick climbs of this formidable plane ❤❤
They’re called “exercises” and the particular one you are referring to was within visual range and both aircraft heading into a merge. The French Rafale have HUD video of a rear of a F-22. No country will go to Red Flag if it’s all about how they’re going to get beat by F-22s. Hence why Typhoons, Rafael’s, SU-30MKK have all claimed to have “won” against F-22s at Red Flag according to British, French and Indian tabloids. So keep repeating propaganda. Stealth aircraft is why the Typhoons are being replaced.
Your tax dollars at play
awesome
Thank you
Ted would you happen to know how many times they have to re-fuel with the three flying petrol stations in order to make it home to Alaska? I noticed that all of them had conformal fuel tanks as well which would give them even greater distance capability as well.🤓💯👱👈✈🛩🛫🛬
Oiii oiiii 🤙🏼 I don’t know officially but I think with the two external fuel tanks, I believe it to be around 2-3 AAR intervals. Hope this helps.
