I was there Saturday. He was hot doggin it! Sunday stepped out on my porch for it. I think the weather tamed him down on Sunday. This plane holds a place for me as I spent some time in Marietta GA about 8 years ago. :D
jonraptor, you'ld be surprised at how big 6 Gs is. If you look at that superhornet flight display dive, with a quick pull up 45 degrees.. on avg. that's about 7 Gs, on the best, 8G. Even the Hornet radius turns are often 6 G.
This raptor min radius turn is about 350 knts and it's not a min radius. That's all i was saying, not saying Raptor can't do 9G.
The reason we couldn't see the Raptor is because you don't know how to use you camcorder very well Mr. vapor69!...

"maybe 5-6Gs max in radius turn?"
"Max" pulls about 9g's in the min radius, he approaches that manuever at 400knts!!

It looked like they tried to integrate more fluid flight in this display? I didn't see any new maneuvers though compared to other shows?
Maybe 5-6 Gs max in radius turn?
The power loop is pretty cool and everything... but I'd love the Raptor to replicate a Hornet display once?
That would be some pretty flying!

Sweet, it's the 08 demo from here. I hope they add a cobra or the J-turn.
