F-22 RaptorDemonstration 2008 Joint Services Open House Andrews AFB, Maryland Saturday May 17, 2008 IN THIS VIDEO, watch as Major Paul “Max” Moga flies the Raptor through a very dynamic demonstration over Andrews AFB. Keep in mind that the aircraft used in the demo profile is in its combat configuration, as opposed to the demos you’ve seen in Sukhois and MiGs, which are flown in a clean configuration. This is also a new demo profile, which debuted in March 2008. 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 www.stevesairshow.com .

fucking great plane,,, and salute to Major Paul Max Moga
yea a real brit who is an asshole and has no sense of history or respect
thats why farmers kicked your country’s ass in the 1700’s
if the british won the revo war we’d be a monarchy still
and we did not have to step in those wars they had nothing to do with us japan on the other hand did so we fought them AND the nazis consider us and russia your saviors
fuck you are lucky we even bother sharing our technology with you when lord knows we shouldn’t
i think this is the one plane we will KEEP to OURSELVELS
I Love the F-22, is my favorite plane, but I hate when people make it sound overated or say things that “They have no rival” it makes me sick
Well, the US is by far the world’s most powerful Country in terms of armed forces, and i dont think people consider the amount of aircraft in storage with the US air force, as well as the ones being operated.
As for the F-22, well its just fantastic, the only thing i dont like about your air shows is when they start playing music, dam i wanna listen to those engines lol, but it adds to the drama i suppose:)
how can u not like the internal wepon bay that can hold 6 missiles + 2 sidewinders and the stelth its awsommmmmmmm
you guys are experts
well the US does have over 5,000 aircraft in the airforce alone, with another 2,000 in the navy and a decent amount in the marines and army aswell.
actually when this thing gets deployed into any battlefield any enemy in its way will be runnin to here mom and shiting there pants in the process
China can imitate it but they can’t imitate it’s radar package. They can get close but they can’t keep up.
It’s called propaganda and is usually bullshit.
U bitches bein stupid f22 is the most world famous fighter ever created in our universe. It will over come and destroy anything that comes in sight. Either 100-1000000 uavs or1000000 Migs or both together f22 destroys
USA Rules… haha ever hear the saying “Quality over Quantity”…well we got both Quality and Quantity. beat that russia.
China can imitate this plane and it costs about 1/20 times cheaper than this shit
they didn’t cancel it. All they did was put a hold on further future production. The DOD already said we currently have enough to fulfill the current mission.
We will build more in the future. it’s just a matter of when.
that’s a failed analogy.
ww2 was an era that had literally thousands of allied bombers and fighters going up against lesser but even more massive numbers of Luftwaffe fighters. It was a completely different strategy back then and aerial warfare.
Today’s modern technology and fighters don’t need to be in massive numbers to win. No military these days has thousands upon thousands of fighters. A dozen f-22 with some f-15 are more than capable of taking on any airforce in the world.
As of today, the F-22 is the world’s best air to air and air to ground fighter. It is also the world’s most expensive. It is as much a world beater, if not more so, than the German Me-262 Schwalbe was in the closing days of WWII. Not enough of the Schwalbe’s were built to make a difference in the skies over Europe and, at 186 copies (one crashed), not enough Raptors means they too won’t make a difference in “the next one”. Maybe we should change its name to the Bobby Gates F-22 Schwalbe.
Pilots are history. We don’t need anymore of these old fashion planes which are also utter expensive. It’s time to move on to Air combat capable UAV. UAVs have a lot more potential due to not being limited by pilots G-force capability. F-22 on the other hand is useful only against old Russian MiGs. New MiGs are better by every aspect.
they didnt cancel the raptor. if they canceled it then they would have taken all of them and put them in the scrap yard in arizona…but they will stop production in 2011 when the order is complete
“The DOD originally planned to buy 187″
The DOD originally planned to buy a LOT more than that.
-”but ended up buying only 145 because the senate voted to cut costs by ending production”
It’ll end up buying 187 because production got capped at 187.
yeah
so what they gonna make more, tell me cause i have been on vacation in costa rica not knowing what is going on in the us
