There was an announcer over a loudspeaker. “Ladies and gentlemen, we have a special today. The air-force has kindly had a jet come by to give us a show.” It wasn’t an F-22. I think it was an F-16. This jet comes down the runway. It’s a very short runway. This thing takes off and goes vertical. The sound was amazing.

    Who knows the difference between "climbs vertically" and "takes off vertically"?
    Not the poster, that's for sure.

      The vertical take - off would belong to the Harrier Jump Jet. It had medium capability in it`s age in terms of overall agility and speed ( rather slow ) but managed to have a say in the British defense of the Falkland Islands after those Islands were invaded by Argentina in 1982. Where was NATO then ? A Member State of NATO`s territory being invaded by a none - Member State of NATO ? The French were selling Excocet Missiles to the Argentinians whilst the Americans were leasing us ( us Britons ) some ships. Thanks !

      Let me be more direct. The vertical take - off would belong to the F-35.

    2:30 - Nope.
    There is a laundry list of airplanes that could supercruise decades before the F-22 was conceived. The earliest known instance was in 1954.
    The F-22 was the first MILITARY airplane designed with the capability as a distinct goal.
    The EE Lighting, F-104, F-16XL, Concorde, TU-144D SST, and several more were able to exceed 1 Mach in level flight without afterburner. Hell, even the F/A18-E/F and F-135 CAN do it. It’s just not an advertised feature because it wasn’t ever part of the design.

    From my seat as a Grumman/USAF child and USAF Airman during this time the Y-23 was the better choice , but politics rule the day , if they're not going to make anymore I hope they keep upgrading them, they are worthy .

      Yes. They do. The only time their Radar Cross Section increases is when they open the bay doors to launch/drop ordinance, and by that time it's too late.
