I was there today, Saturday. We drove up,from Bellingham to see the show.What doesn’t translate on video…and I’ve watched a lot of F22 demo videos…is the SOUND that thing makes. I went to a lot of airshows when I was younger, seen F14’s F15s, F16s, F18s, F4s, F104s and even an SR71. But the F22 is on a whole different level. It’s truly a full body experience seeing one fly.
I lived near TOP GUN SCHOOL, SAN DIEGO. I'M THE PLANE NOISE EXPERT. The jets flew over our hotel ( LaJolla Sheraton/ Nikko ) just to piss off the rich guests at the pool. Lol😂
Props to the cameraman! Amazing how you kept a supersonic capable fighter jet in frame and steady as hell while many people can't record a clip of a stationary rock without shaking like they're having an epileptic fit.
This made me laugh. Thanks for the elaborate compliment. I'm the first to admit I'm not always perfect. Far from it. But I was very happy with how I did this time.
Great if you want to follow rivets on the plane. Maybe next time also include a wide with the horizon as reference. Sorry, but i a local filmmaker. Try next time a 2nd camera, or use a background not the clouds.
There is absolutely nothing comparable to the first time ever experiencing a fighter jet up close and personal like this. It is a rush I can’t explain. You must be there for it and experience it first hand at least once on your life. I actually get emotional because it’s just mind blowing and makes me feel so proud to be an American. 🇺🇸
I saw this at the Friday airshow, It stole the show, unless you were there it is hard to describe the power of the engines you feel through out your body. Great airshow.
I've been to a couple NHRA drag races, with over 10 thousand horse power. I think I can understand how you feel as thin as a piece of paper vibrating when they take off, but I'm sure this is on its own special level. I would have loved to have been there
Disagree…the camera was too zoomed it. Was cool for a bit but we see the plan. Being zoomed in so much didn’t give a context of the speed it was going or lack of and the maneuvers. Again as a pretty shot of the raptor…but as far as watching the flight it was just a plane against a solid sky backdrop.
I find it almost impossible to comprehend how such a terrifyingly deadly weapon of war can still be such an utterly beautiful and graceful work of art at the same time. Thank God we're such good friends with our neighbors to the south. ...😊
I drove up from Bellingham and was there at this show in the photo pit, I got a few dozen good photos, but I decided that I wasn't going to do any video because I knew that someone with better gear would be recording it and I would be able to watch it on UA-cam. Well, here it is. Respect to you for capturing an amazing F-22 performance. The only thing that is missing is how freaking LOUD the F-22 is.
En tant que français et fier de notre Rafale,je trouve le Raptor comme le chasseur le plus Badass de tout les temps. Puissant, magnifique et à voir comment les pilotes sont au combat. Il est superbe 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷. Très belle vidéo
Thank you for filming this, Airshow has been a family tradition for me and my family for many years and I recently moved to Alberta and wasn't able to make it back this year. Sad I missed the f22, hands down the best fighter jet.
@@brendabest9086 I was also an Army Brat from 1949 to 1963 and used to play on M48 and M60 tanks when I was a kid. Cool stuff, but when I enlisted in the Air Force in 1968 the coolness factor went supersonic. :-)
I remember seeing a f16 when i was younger in a air show the sound was so load that my entire body felt it I freaking loved it. I can’t imagine what it was like watching the f22 and the photography is amazing!
@@ghostrider-be9ek wow, very much disagree with you. The snowbirds are an extremely competent team… and it will be a sad day when the Tutor is retired. 9 ship, slow , tight formations are not seen often… you can’t do the same in fast jets
@@CCitis the team is good no question, but as an aviation mechanic, these machines are killing off the men and women who fly these death traps - they are a laughing stock of an aircraft anywhere else and completely unsafe in 2025.
Abbotsford was awesome. My first time seeing f22 live. Awesome capabilities and such a flat profile when flying at you. The feeling I got when it hit the burners reminded me of when I was growing up our PMQ was across a field from the airbase and they used to fly Voodoos. Same feeling right through the gut! Awesome plane. Glad we're on the same side.👍🇨🇦❤️
Canada doesn't need one, because they effectively already have one at their disposal. The USA will absolutely step up to defend Canada if needed. There is a small percentage of loudmouth Americans that love to rip on Canadians (I live in Bellingham, and hear them moan all the time), but most Americans, including myself love Canada and Canadians. You guys are awesome neighbors, and your country is beyond amazing.
The way these things move is like no other aircraft I've seen, every movement is precise and there is little wobble. I've seen Russian planes with thrust vectoring do some crazy maneuvers, but the F22 is so smooth and slick. Combine it with the right pilot and it is leagues above any other fighter on Earth.
The maneuverability is super cool to see, but it's the electronic warfare capabilities that makes it hands down the most deadly fighter on the planet. G-D I love my country 🇺🇸❤
I watched the f22 last yr at Cleveland Air show. Absolutely amazing to see and witness still sends chills watching on video. Most incredible thing I've ever seen
I saw the A-1 Skyraider and F-22 flying in VERY close formation when I was driving through Abbotsford. I was on call with my Dad who is also an aviation enthusiast... Definitely made my month.
The F-22 has been the best Fighter jet since it was first in active service 2015, maybe the 10 year younger f-35 has a chance but I doubt it the f22 is air superiority the f35 is multi, the big problem with the f22 is is that it costs unbelievable amount of money, but it’s also much much better than the competition, and even if you have the small fortune it costs it’s one of the weapons have a 100% export ban on, B1 and B2 the same, the US Air Force is unfortunately good and expensive 😮 and the super carriers 100.000 tons nuclear powered, even the old ones are far better than what other countries can build, always funny when Americans take like there are a series military treat to them, probably a single of the 11 super carrier groups are more powerful than all of any other navy, don’t remember the number of ships and submarines a group has but its like a full navy
It seemed like the high speed pass of the raptor was slower than the CF-18 Hornet, although it could have been an optical illusion because the raptor is bigger. Wondering if anyone else thought so as well. I was there Friday and Sunday, and I think the Friday evening might have been the best with the incredible lighting with the sunset. Also, the raptor on Sunday couldn't do the flat spin that we saw on friday because of the cloud layer. The moment you captured the weapons doors open with the afterburners going would make a great still photo as well! Fantastic footage you got and hope to see more!
Abbotsford is always a fun airshow because the USAF pilots and RCAF pilots are constantly one upping each other......(the US Navy was in the mix too but they havent (blue angels)been around since 2018)
I had no idea that US *AND* Canadian military performed at the same shows. I'm not an airplane geek so I don't follow this stuff closely. Just saw the Manitoba Airshow last week. My 15 yo loved it.
Bit off topic. Retired F/A 18 airframer here. The most insane shows of power I have seen was B-1 lancers taking off in Qatar and the fly bys. Shook rust from the hangar rafters every time. Great videos, beautiful bird the F-22
I missed this year but honestly thank you for posting this! I just got into fighter jets not too long ago and honestly i'd die to see an F-22 Raptor and an F-16 in person
When I was in the marines I saw a raptor make some INCREDIBLE moves! This was in 2015. I can’t even imagine all the new tech upgrades it must have now! GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY! SEMPER FI!!!
I saw this demonstration. It was my first time to see an F-22 and I'm totally blown away by the awsome power I felt as it flew by with afterburners. At 43 years of age this may be the loudest sound I've ever heard. Absolutely incredible!
Thrust vectoring a long with its huge control surfaces makes the raptor cutting edge for decades to come. My uncle piloted the F4 phantom in Vietnam when I was a boy so I'm a little bias but you can't help but be impressed with the F22. God bless America. 🇺🇸

Wasn’t suppose to be a stealth plain?
It's true. Tough to capture that aspect of the experience, but this will have to do. Glad you were able to see it in person! Razz is unreal!
I would agree. Sounds more like a rocket launch than a plane at full afterburner.
Props to the cameraman! Amazing how you kept a supersonic capable fighter jet in frame and steady as hell while many people can't record a clip of a stationary rock without shaking like they're having an epileptic fit.

D@@EricksonAviationMedia I can tell you from personal experience that epilepsy is no laughing matter.
Yah, but no point of reference to show speed by using with the horizon?
Great if you want to follow rivets on the plane. Maybe next time also include a wide with the horizon as reference. Sorry, but i a local filmmaker. Try next time a 2nd camera, or use a background not the clouds.
That pilot was pulling some serious G's. Now I must go fly the F-22 in the Microsoft flight simulator.
Talk to me, Goose!
He was the definition of turn and burn!
Why fly in a sim, when you can join up and fly the real thing? Lol
Takes nerves of steel.
It is crazy. Now wonder U.S.A. Is number is 1st. In the sky. 😮

i went to the Abbotsford airshow once in my life about 25 or 30 years ago, something like that. It was awesome. super loud though!
@@paddington1670 I was there too! Do you know Bob?

Let’s not forget what purpose these planes serve
I was there Friday Night. One of the most profound experiences of my life. It was incredible to witness.
Bloody amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
It's true, the power of these machines in real life is an overwhelming experience.
To the cameraman/woman that filmed this. I hope all your children are successful and your pillows will forever be cool in the summer. Thank you.
Hahahaha thank you! 🤣
That is some funny pillow talk, that's a first LOL
Probably the most wholesome thing ever said on youtube! 😆
the cameraman/woman is lucky for being able to get the right footage of the F22 takeoff. My cellphone was not able to get the same
How dare you😂
I saw this at the Friday airshow, It stole the show, unless you were there it is hard to describe the power of the engines you feel through out your body. Great airshow.
Definitely! Gotta see it in person for the whole experience!

Best demo of a Raptor yet! This dude is one with his aircraft! We done and great camera work!
Ive seen a lot of f22 demos I agree with you this was next level
I agree. I’ve watched Raptor demos live all the way back to Max Moga and this guy is next level. Rock solid flying off the A-1.
5:06 look at the differential thrust!!! Damn, thats the clearest ive seen it being used on an f22

And now look at the flight of the Su-57. That's where the madness and beauty are. ua-cam.com/video/3iaYyYFicMw/v-deo.html
Nice tribute flight with the Douglas A-1 Skyraider . Love heritage flights . . .
I was there on Friday. Awesome video but it doesn't do it justice. You HAVE to see this live!

The F22 was definitely the highlight on Saturday too... shout out to the snowbirds though, always a great show.
Couldn't agree more!
the snowbirds needed to be retired in 1991 - they are huge pilot death traps with pathetic performance compared to even modern trainers
@@ghostrider-be9ek wow, very much disagree with you. The snowbirds are an extremely competent team… and it will be a sad day when the Tutor is retired. 9 ship, slow , tight formations are not seen often… you can’t do the same in fast jets

Absolutely iconic camera work!! Very well done!
I was here! The F-22 had me due to its sound and I even saw the plane did a supersonic boom on my iPhone
The take-off was surreal. Looks like some science-fiction spaceship.
Pretty sure it defies physics haha
Makes you realize it's two jet engines with wings and not the other way around... what is that climb ration? 1/0?
It's climb rate is insane. It's the two beast engines. Pilots can have to pull up to 9 Gs in that sucker.
