    F22 is a BEAST. Love the way it's "tail feathers" were moving/adjusting as it came over the top at 9:54 ...Almost like it was living thing, feeling its way through the maneuver, (as it's fly by wire computer/controls recalculated its needs, thousands of times a second)

    Nothing wrong with any of these aircraft and everyone has their own favorite(s) and there's nothing wrong with being proud of one's country and their unique abilities. Expressing appreciation for any one aircraft does not mean someone is 'better' than anyone else, as we all have much to be proud of within our own respective countries.
    Respect from the United States of America.

      @Thomas Robinson That isn't true my friend. My father is an aerospace engineer and understands how stealth technology works. Stealthy tech does not make a plane invisible from radar, that is a lie. It minimises the chances of being seen and there reducing the chance of being shot down. Besides, Typhoons and Rafales have been beating F22s from close through to medium ranges regularly at Red Flag for years.

    Raptors are beasts! Saw one going thru testing driving down I-75S in early 2000 near Marietta GA (home to Lockheed Martin). It came out of nowhere, vertical and less than 200 feet from my car!!! Scared the s**t out of me and everyone else doing 80mph on the interstate... glanced in my rear view and saw cars scrambling not to pile up when it flew over.... it had its bay doors open and no one knew what it was. Got to my hotel and did a quick search and sure enough, it was being tested in Marietta at the exact time it flew over the interstate.... the only platforms missing here are the Bone and C-17. Raptors are beautiful machines🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

      F-22 is indeed still my favorite though, but from the ones that can actually be exported to other countries, I have to say that my favorite is actually still F-16. Because its rather cheap (relatively speaking), combat proven, agile and reliable fighter and there is something about its looks that I still prefer over the other 4th/4.5 gen fighters.

    My favorite takeoff was an F-15, years ago in Memmingerberg AFTER the air-show, on its way back to Ramstein! That really showed the power of the new fighters, compared to the old Phantoms and F-104s. The F-15 held the climbing record at that time. Really impressive, how it accelerated from the runway to the (far away) woods and then pulled it up, vertically.

      Yeah, the Frenchies pushing the stick forward to stay low was just awesome in both their Dassault Rafale and Mirage. Just awesome.

    America has F-15 F-18 and now the most advanced stealth fighters F-35 in the world... that can take down all of these European plains with out batting an eye at them...

    My fav?
    Gotta give it to the RAF's Typhoon, next would be Spanish Hornet and finally the USAF Raptor.

      Not the Flanker? I'm surprised. ;-)

      The F-16A might’ve been my favorite. It just looks sooo cool with the smokewinders

    Saved the best for last. Quite a few of these aircraft made badass takeoff rolls, but the F-22 is just fucking insane. The F-35 was also a much better an aircraft than I anticipated at the recent 2018 RIAT. It would be right up there with the F-22 if it had two engines instead of one.
