1:07 proof that the raptor isn't affected by rain.
-
@Tampaslice I wondered that too! Raptor pilot was smart enough to keep his canopy closed.

@Tampaslice lets see it do it at super sonic speed yes it can do it while flying slow
-
I would love to fly for the air force, to feel that power. But I could never go through their boot camps.
-
0:19 WTF?
-
@GUITARPLAYAx93x Because that was the last show being flown with that F-15 as well. It went straight to the boneyard.

cant be good for those on board computers..

Seriously, why do these US airshows 99% of the time play these ridiculously cheesy songs during displays?? One, they sound awful and cringey and two, the sound of that amazing thrust is enough!
Plus, a Strike Eagle and Raptor convoy? F'n amazing! Great vid :D

This video makes me proud to be an American. Oh, and why the hell did the fire truck blast water INTO the cockpit of that Eagle??? That seems... not smart
Thanks for that 10g turn "Max" before landing. Looked like airspeed went from 450kts to 180kts in 2 seconds. Serious decelleration! The F22 is the only plane on the planet that can make a turn like that at 100ft! I wonder how many circuits popped in the F15 when the firehose blew about 50 gallons of water into the cockpit???

@4V14T10N First of all, any person with a basic understanding of anatomy/physiology will readily tell you that acrobatic pilots occasionally touch 12g in competition and usually such will get them disqualified (redbull), however even thinking that such isn't physiologically possible is ridiculous. Just so you don't go through life ignorant, there ARE many pilots who have easily made 12+g turns.
Doesn't matter what the internet says. It's about design, material, weight & human variables.
