2007 AirPower Over Hampton Roads
Langley AFB, VA
Friday April 27, 2007

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as the Raptors and Eagles return, break to land, and do some pattern work prior to landing.

Like what you've seen? Well, if you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

lol, the maneuverability of the F-15 sucks comparing to the F-22

My initial job title and training was as a F16 Attack Control Systems tech but I was cross-trained into F117s as soon as I graduated tech school and got to Holloman AFB. I did not re-enlist so F117s are all I ever worked on apart from training on F16s during tech. It is my understanding that if I had stayed in, my next station would have been Korea to work on F16s and then back to Holloman after that tour. If I would have been a "lifer", I could have very well been a "Raptor Keeper" today. :)

So what airframe did you move on to?

[chadjcyr]

As a former F117 Avionics Tech... I attest that stealth does work; The proper terminology is "Low Observable" - so no... it isn't invisible. However it is very effective with proper tactics. F117s have flown many of times into harms way without ECM capability and the enemy didn't know what hit them. When in peacetime and training they have "Enhancers" installed on the sides of the fuselage to increase their radar cross section for air traffic purposes.

What's with the poor sound quality? It's so unlike the amazing sound quality of your other videos

[sussexj]

A stealth aircraft can be detected, but its very difficult compared to conventional aircraft. The general ideal is that you have to be very close to pick up a stealth aircraft on radar. Its the pilots intel that keeps him from steering his aircraft directly into a SAM sight. Radar jamming support doesnt hurt either

[sussexj]

People have this misconception that stealth makes an plane totally oblivious to enemy threat radars but that is simply not the case. Its a combination of tactics, support from electronic warfare platforms like the E/A-6 and good intel that make a stealth plane effective and survivable in combat. The idea reduced detection and avoidance.
