Post by: biggles on March 02, 2011, 09:42:29 AM

watch the raptor display on bbc news web site,crackin display especially the nose over tail manouvre.
typhoon is superb but this is a different class with the thrust vectoring.

The Raptor at RIAT last year was totally unbelievable. It really does blow the Typhoon (and any other aircraft) out of the sky when it comes to manoeuvrability.
