2008 Jones Beach Airshow - F-22 Raptor & Heritage Flight

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
Sunday May 25, 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 .

That would be awesome! You did a fantastic job taping the F22. Very still and your camera did not go out of focus. Would like to see your 2009 work. I have seen people upload long videos. If not, do it in parts. I would definitely watch it. my favorite part is when the F18 came close to the sound barrier and you saw that vapor cloud formation. Never saw that before!! Hope you got it on film.

My video from the beach this year (Sat only) is TERRIBLE. I was unprepared for the cold wind that day and let's just say that the video is like that of AC, Oceana, and Pensacola 2008.

I live in seaford and can hear the F-18s flying over right now... i think theyre probably practicing i saw 4 before at a distance but couldn't tell if they were F-16s or F-18s... i doubt they were F-22s

[airshowfansh]

I can almost guarantee you heard F-16s. The Thunderbirds should be there by now.

costs 140 million each but worth every penny

The war in Iraq wasn't a good move, but it wasn't to get oil. Good thing Argentina has never fought a war of aggression. Oh wait.. they did. How did that go again?

beautiful planes, both of them bot my grand dads flew in ww2 one was a ball gunner on a b-17g and the other was a P-51d mustang pilot they told me a story that one time the one flying the p-51 was the escort for the bomber squadron that my other grand dad was in

[elite055]

i love it when the jets climb and the pilots face full burners to the ground and its like a mini earthquake

[Harvckbuffalofan]

[PringlesSourCreamxD]

@ah4321 OMG the video is from PowerRussia she make the biggest Propaganda with MarshallJukov they always say that Russia is the best OMG T-90 and the best 1 Missle of a Raptor and the T-90 Burn in hell!

[hotsexyLoretta]

look the body still half complete?!! hahaha! thats so stupid! after being blown out of the sky half of the body is still complete. most of F-22s parts should be falling in pieces not in two big parts.

what a propaganda this is. even more crazy is that the other half came from F-35!!!! hahahah!

[Crypt1cmyst1c]

absolutely beautiful. i love the f-22. i fly it all the time in simulators but they never do it any justice. i wish the topspeed details would be released :(
