It's Raptor Time

[paintboy]

Thought you all would like this series of photos of the F-22 Raptor Demo from Oshkosh. It was too bad they did not have enough distance to perform the entire demo show, but at Reno Max will have the space to perform the complete demo. What a killer aircraft. This is the first weapon system where I feel my tax paying dollars are being well spent. This has to be the most feared killing machine on the planet. Enjoy the photos.

What an awesome machine. I can't believe how loud they are! It's easy to pick them out over other jets.

Thanks for the pics! As I was watching the demos at Oshkosh, all I could think about was seeing 30 tons of F-22 at Spokane this weekend tumble end over end and doing a flat spin to 2500 ft.....

The V22 at Oshkosh was pretty neat too....all and all a good year except for the humidity, the mosquitos, and the two pilots that died.

Saw my first Raptor at GML last year. If this is your first time, be prepared, it's freaking awesome...

Max just did his show in Spokane Friday and Saturday....awesome!
It is Sunday so I will go back to see him once more in a few minutes but it is cloudy..... (I will say the the Blue Angels are very very good this year.....havent seen them in awhile and I like the show they are doing,
But no JATO bottles on Fat Albert)
