Lol... he calls the F-15 "aging" in the early 90's. Wonder what he'd call them now considering they and the F-16 are still by in large the mainstay of the USAF. Most of those air frames are over 20-30 years old too.
Wonderful i like that exciting to see just take care of yourself bye I will miss you dear my friend how are you today i holp you're happy with you family right now 😎🇺🇸💪🇺🇸🦅
Even today I still believe that they picked the wrong jet even though the YF23 didn't have a big weapons bay but they could have made some adjustments and put something like the 22 has on like a bigger weapons bay so it can hold more bombs in it
If you read the reports on the decision, you see the f22 was the only real choice. The yf23 was only better in top speed and stealth numbers. The f22 was better in maintainability, weapons carriage, maneuverability and many other areas
@@slickstrings “Interestingly the YF-22 and YF-23 had exactly the same trimmed AoA [angle of attack] of 60° [degrees],” Paul Metz He was the pilot who ended up testing both airplanes. The 23s GE-F120 engine was also more advanced. The 23 had higher top speed and more stealth as you say. It came down to demonstrations and audience. It was a much closer competition than people seem to think.
YoungTimmy at least if you flew r,c edf jets meaning electric, ducted, fan! You could order it from Motion R,C which is a great electric Jet as well as use f,p,v meaning first, person, view with a Fatshark head set with a camera in the cockpit.
We would have a huge advantage and way better stealth with the YF23 . With the 22 I think it has a chance of getting spotted through radar or a big chance with Russia new radar systems
30+ years later.... And the F-15 (1972), the F-16 (1974), and the F-18 (1978) are still in frontline service!
Robert Gates fucked us over. What a betrayal.

It's hard to believe that the Raptor as a design is nearly 30 years old. 30 years before the F-15, most aircraft were still driven by propellers!
the b52 and a10's are old frames and old designs. Everything else is old designs, NEW FRAMES, and updated as f**k electronics.
Awesome video thanks for loading up this awesome video that has great information.
What an awesome comment!

eeehhhhhh. the raptors blueprint is from the 80´s YF22 raptor i from 1990. 4 decades ago fighter TODAY
Paul Metz talked about the YF-22 as the best sports plane
De fapt asta este adevăratul avion F22Rapter și are o viteza mare chiar lam văzut cum a decolat de undeva

It's spelled Raptor.
On my 1st bday, they announced the winner, 😔.I still believe the YF-23 Black Widow should’ve been the winner.

I’ve also heard that Russia’s wanting to purchase them as well as other nations. The YF-23 Black Widow
