Video: F-22 Raptors in UK
« on: August 07, 2008, 08:54:58 PM »
This video includes a small sample of the footage taken during the first European visit ever of the F-22 Raptor. I suppose you know the story, but just in case: Three F-22s from the 1st Fighter Wing based at Langley (Virginia), arrived to RAF Fairford on Tuesday July 8th in order of taking part in RIAT and Farrnborough Airshows (in the latter just on Monday the 14th). Major Max Moga, the F-22 Demo Pilot, was the man who flew this incredible machine, showing the agility and power of the firt 5th Generation Fighter. Enjoy the video!

Fantastic as usual. Would dearly love to see one in the 'flesh'. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Casper, I'm glad you liked it!  :), there is no doubt that this is one of the best (if not the best) solo demo I have ever seen. Let's hope it will come back shortly to Europe.
