Sweeeeeet!
At 1.19mins, how does the aircraft not stall?? :lol3: Its practically at a standstill:wink2:

Re: F-22 " Raptor "
 

Thrust OVER Lift.... Or, Little Big Balls....

Restricted, to use only 70% power...

This bird has vectored thrust nozzles; Turkey feathers.

Driver, still has 30% power in his pocket...1.16 mph = 1 knot.

I had to go to Jack in er box, Tumbly was goin' GGrrrr; GGrrr...
But, this one wasn't behind JPL, like in the Old Days.....

Anchor, Your calling for rhythm....?

Re: F-22 " Raptor "
 

Fly Jets... Yes. Fly something like this... Oh, Helll No.

This is a huge flying computer... All, Fly by wire. What I flew was controls...

You could Feel the wind over the control surfaces... Stall the wing to land.

Two, J 79 GE jets engines... This thing costs 100,000.00 to maintain after

a flight.

I flew A-4, F-4B Turn and burn lady... Not a comparable...

OOOOOOO..... That's good Karen... And, perfect. What was paid for this whole

production in 1943. Would NOT pay to maintain the F-22 Raptor for one flight.

Re: F-22 " Raptor "
 

Yep... F 105, They have one mounted on a pole at Norad, Right across from
the Park on station.

But, the one from Canada is a twin... U S is a single burner...

James Parsons Labs. [JPL] Stole/bought just about everything including
the disc craft...

I was a Sgt. in the U.S. Air Force 80-84, stationed in nevada and my shop was right next to the USAF Thunderbirds, what a thrill to see them daily among all the other aircraft, I saw them do many things like the F-22 , got to see other aircraft from around the world, saw some crash, and many other things. It was a very cool tour of duty to say the least and i never got tired of seeing what was next that was landing there.

Re: F-22 " Raptor "
 

Hows the F-35 Lightning II compared to the F-22 Raptor?

Military here are waiting for the F-35's, even though it looks to be a really expensive "pleasure".

Re: F-22 " Raptor "

Re: F-22 " Raptor "
 

I'd love to fly one of those birds.

If they can ever make 'em as fast as an ufo, that'd be even cooler.

Re: F-22 " Raptor "
 

So... You want to go for a Ride... Not in a F-22

In this view you can go for one in an F-16...



More reasonably priced.


Trooly,

Re: F-22 " Raptor "
 

Good ol' Norwegian Airforce there.

Why this country with minimal military influence use a heap of money to replace the F-16's is beyond me. We're not supposed to engage in warfare anyhow, and the military force we actually do possess would be knocked out cold in a day if someone decided to attack.

No, we're NATO defended as long as we play nice with the US. :P

Re: F-22 " Raptor "
 

That low altitude flight is really thrilling . Wow I am in for a ride like that :thumb_yello:
3 times round earth back and forth I would love it !!!!

Love Always
