F-22 Raptor Demonstration
Major Paul "Max" Moga
USAF Heritage Flight
F-22 Raptor & P-51D Mustang
Maj. Moga & Ed Shipley
2008 Jones Beach Airshow
Jones Beach State Park
Jones Beach, New York
Saturday May 24, 2008
IN THIS VIDEO, watch as Major Paul "Max" Moga flies an absolutely SPECTACULAR demonstration in the F-22 Raptor. Keep in mind that this aircraft is flown in its complete combat configuration, with all of its weapons carried internally. The Raptor possesses a clean configuration when completely combat configured, as weapons and fuel tanks hung externally from the aircraft will compromise its stealth characteristics. The aircraft's maneuverability is exceptional. You've seen demonstration videos of Sukhois and MiGs from Russia and the Ukraine perform almost the same maneuvers that Max flies in the Raptor, but Max's F-22 is in a combat configuration, while the MiGs and Sukhois are stripped down for their demonstrations.
Following the demonstration, you will see Max join up with Ed Shipley - founder of AirShowBuzz.com - in a P-51D Mustang (yes, he's flying Glamorous Gal!) for a Heritage Flight.
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 .

They're called inverted passes- Good question as well, the F-16C and the Superhornet do the inverted passes...
