F-22 Langley demo - Backflips!!! Cobra!!!

(For much much more, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW2Hvu_mUdU )

The F-22 demo at the Langley airshow - the first airshow to get a REAL F-22 demo, not just a few passes. The backflips and sudden pitch-ups are reminiscent of those seen in Sukhoi and MiG-29 demos.

@spraynpray you mean the first 9/10 of a vertical climb. If you gain altitude, it's not cobra.

@r3dst4r9O Yes, 'cause we all know shitty Chinese knockoffs using twenty year old tech surpasses something the Americans built now.

So where is the Cobra maneurvre

[fawas92]

I think the guy who published the video dint know the difference between a cobra and a kulbit. And people stop hating cuz it does a kulbit. A kulbit is equally is effective as a cobra

I love watching russians and chinese try to bash this thing.

It really is funny, and so pathetic...the first thing you'll see when you youtube the F-22 is a bunch of "related videos" saying CHINA J-20 BETTER THAN F-22??!?!?! or PATHETIC TRUTH ABOUT F-22 or SU-37 TERMINATE F-22 or something pathetic like that.

I just love how they so desperately need attention that they have to flood youtube with that kind of garbage...really, it's entertaining.

I've only seen the russians mig-29, mig-35, su-37 doing the cobra. I didn't see this beautifull bird doing any cobra, and I don't know about the so-called "backflips." Nice jet though.
