2009 Rhode Island ANG Open House - F-22 Raptor Demonstration

F-22 Raptor Demonstration
F-22 Raptor Demo Team

2009 Rhode Island ANG Open House & Airshow
Quonset State Airport
North Kingstown, Rhode Island
Friday June 26, 2009

IN THIS VIDEO, Major Dave "Zeke" Skalicky takes this F-22 Raptor into the skies over North Kingstown for a demonstration that was full of vapor from every which direction. Prior to Zeke's demo, Ed Hamill and John Klatt flew a fly-off aerobatic performance, of which I do not have any video of because it was still raining at the time. Zeke took advantage of the amount of humidity that remained from that passing shower.

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 the time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

@Dremm67 Tell me how a USAF Jet replaces a USN jet?

[jay6541]

@Dremm67 no it didnt lol its actually supposed to replace the f-15 if im correct :P

[Dremm67]

@RyuSphinx The f-22 replaced the f-14

[1bearcatf8f]

Id rather see US planes than any russia plane

[silentdreemz85]

@ThaPyngwyn no matter what way you look at it the f-22 is the most advanced aircraft in the world and will shoot down any aircraft that you can think of EASILY.

[ThaPyngwyn]

@silentdreemz85 Heard of the Silent Eagle? Sure, it's not as stealthy as the F-22, but it's more stealthy than any non-stealth aircraft. And the last time we said we could shoot down enemy planes before we even see them, we went and built F-4s without cannons, leading to some embarrassment when we ended up face-to-face with gun-armed MiGs.

@ThaPyngwyn You can't shoot down an aircraft you can't find on radar this isn't ww2. The f-22 is completely stealth. Anyone flying in a f-15 or any plane for that matter would be dead before they see an the jet. If you could put 40 rockets on an f 22 (which you can't) then you could shoot down 40 f 15's.

@Verdigo76 Exactly. You think an evolution from the SMLE or Lee Enfield would've saved more British lives. The M1 Garand and other weapon innovations of the U.S. won World War 2. For example, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. No else had those weapons and look who ended the war...

@ThaPyngwyn sorry...you lose

F-22; All show, no go. If we had an air war right now, I would rather bet our security on a squadron of battle-tested F-15s than an expensive show-horse that sleeps in air conditioned hangars. Nice demo, though.
