Got to see the Raptor demo team at the Garmin Air Show in Kansas in 2023. First time I'd ever seen the Raptor perform in real life. I was physically stunned; I had to sit down and marvel at what I had just witnessed. It is not an overstatement to say that it was a life changing experience.
Radar signature, the surface of the F-22 has to be as smooth as possible, any compartments that are integrated will create junctures that will make the F-22 more visibles to the radar ;)
Well judging by Russia,s war with Ukraine i would say that the Raptor is 100% the best multi role plane out there together with American/English pilots i honestly cant see anyone touching these bad boys....Nice one Daff
@@BlatentlyFakeName overrated..... I don't know if I'd say that! As far as modern-day combat effective yeah they're definitely way way.....WAY behind! That said they still have the plane that can move through the air sexier than any other plane on the fucking planet and can absolutely out maneuver an F-22 or 35 in close combat. the problem is close in air combat is no longer a thing! I don't give a shit how good you are at moving and maneuvering it doesn't matter if you're already dead 30 miles before you even figure out your already dead!
@@deannelson9565 The F35 can litterally stop and turn mid-air. The Russian jets can't out manouver that. What happened in Russia is most of the money was being siphoned off by corrupt politicians and businessmen. The Russian military probably didn't get what they paid for.
the view of the rear of the F-22 is awesome - nothing out there today even comes close, it has flaps on top of it's flaps, like that quote from the Transformers movie "that thing has got Alien written all over it"
It was part of the Blue Angels air show in Lacrosse WI this year.. just Google the Blue Angels schedule....only cost me $30 for adult ticket..definitely get your moneys worth and more

I'm in my late 40s and have been going to airshows back when the Blue Angels still flew A4s, I've seen everything in the American inventory fly, as well as a few British, French, and Russian. When I had the opportunity to see the F22 at an airshows in the early 2010s....I THOUGHT THE THING WAS GOING TO CRASH!!!!!! Very impressive/ kinda scary. Well worth the money Welcome to the U.S. btw, I assume your from the UK Dafydd???
honestly you'd think that watching something that's been around since 2005 that we would eventually get tired of watching it ........ thankfully i'm not one of them. knowing it's the king of air superiority helps too
I was here too! I believe I was just a dozen yards away from you. TBH this was probably the best airshow in the US this year, especially as EAA didn't get many decent demos & ground displays this year. Wish they had B52 and B2 as well though.
Why do these types of videos make me 🤔 about well you know,why?I mean is it the Top Gun thing that gets me 🤔 about it or is it the power,the noise,the excitement,the thought of Iceman being the pilot in every single darn aircraft,seriously am I the only person?

F-22 (YF-22) Raptor has great fan following in India including me as I love this jet , dreamed to touch it's once in future I like it over F-35 as F-22 is more stealthy over anyone in the world from 1997 , thnx man for this work 🙏 love from India, If India get only one of this than one F-22 can destroy 2 squadrons of Chinese J-20 before take off 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hope is continue 🙏🙏🙏 respect from India🇮🇳
Nice footage Dafydd, the F22 Raptor sure is one hell of a fantastic jet and being displayed in very capable hands 👌🇺🇲✈️ Thank you for capturing and sharing 👍👌🇺🇲✈️ ATB Andy
That truthfully is ☝🏻 gorgeous aircraft 💯.I also love the first sounds of it when he first fires it up because it’s the whistling sounds that I 🤍 To Listen Out For ☺️.
Another exceptional video Dafydd!! Looking forward to our Sun and Fun Airshow coming up in Florida in March 2023. You should try to make over here if you can; I know you'd really enjoy it!!
Always fascinates me see how it can rapidly shift to go vertical. I’m sure other planes can too. But imagine fighting against this beast and it takes vertical and then turns mid air to your nose and you’re looking right at it. Would hate to be that guy for sure lol Have to be on the side of this plane.
Indeed, seeing an F-22 is a scarce 'commodity'. it IS nice to see an F-22 make a cameo appearance. That's odd..... For the first minute of the video, you can see RIVETS! and what looks like sections of patched material on the fuselage! I have never seen this before. Rivets are known to compromise stealth characteristics,. They also detract from the craft's smooth lines and just look ugly. Either these were added specifically to mask its stealth characteristics, or I've missed seeing this peculiar 'feature' all these years.
Despite the F22 having 20 years or more on the F35, it's still my pick for superior fighter. On that note, I'm sure there's a guy a tad older than me saying the same of the F15 vs the 22. 👍
What a beautiful plane. Best design ever. And i dont think that future planes will ever look better. The Raptor is PERFECT!
su -57
your absolutely right the material of the plane will increase in quality
The shitty part about the future is that planes will probably just be flying circles that are AI
@@MrchillGuy23 🤣 Not even close.
@@SystemSalvation True, the Su 57 is alot better looking.
There is just something incredible Apex about the F22 Raptor. It's design and function really suits it's name. I love it
It is now the Air Forces official plane to shoot down Chinese balloons :)
Thanks for watching 😎👍
Thanks for filming.😉
Always interesting and great camera work. Thank you.
These pilots are amazing, I don't know how they can fly like they do and as fast as they do. I can't even handle a roller coaster.
I saw the Raptor demo for the 2nd time this year at CCAS at KMHR. That thing still bends my mind. #3 on my list of faves behind the F4 and A6.
It’s an incredible jet👍
A machine so badass that we won't even sell it to anyone else!

Obviously F22 is the best aircraft ever. Yet another stunning proof.
Really like that you give time to the preflight protocols. And. I am sure glad that airplane is on MY side.
Watching these live is mind blowing. I cannot believe how maneuverable these planes are.
I'm surprised the F22 doesn't have the cool integrated ladder that the F35 has. Awesome as always Dafydd.
I'm sure you could come up with a 12 gauge round to bring it down brother!!! :D

@@edubogota1 F-35 is also stealth, that is not a viable answer.
The F35 is not as stealth as the F 22

Excellent video. Thanks for letting us enjoy that amazing machine!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Superb aerial display of the coolest F-22A Raptor performance 😊🤩
F22 has a distinct sound, I will never forget.
Looking for this . Just to see it good. F22 RAPTOR RUNZ THE SKY!!
The Raptor is an amazing and impressive aircraft - thanks for showing that so very well
F22 coming to Australia again next weekend for the Australian Airshow in Victoria, it will be the first time for me seeing it, can't wait!
Enjoy!! ✈️👍
The Raptor is bad ass!
Perfect day in Vegas for this, amazing show.
Some clouds would of been nice for contrast.
That is PURE AWESOMENESS RIGHT THERE!!!

Awesome plane. F-22 Raptor my favorite fighter jet ever. Video made my day. ❤️❤️❤️🤘👏❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Happy you enjoyed the video Nancy.

I gotta see the raptor in person one day
It’s a beast

Despite being comparatively older than the F35, you can't beat it for looks and performance, what an aircraft. Thankyou Dafydd 👍
The Raptor is in the, if not the top of my all time, sexiest list!
Thats his job, flying that crazy insane piece of engineering marvel.
Great camerawork! Thanks for 4K
Thank you, appreciate you taking the time to watch it 👍

No sonic boom? 👀
Jokes aside, that air show looked so lit. That shot with the B-1 Lancer and the F22 in the same frame spoke a 1000 words
Goes fast enough now to need it. Which is incredible
Dafydd you are simply the best :-) See you next time on the swiss mountains on Axalp 2023
