Just freakin' incredible. I never get tired of seeing what the Raptor can do. Anyone who's ever foolish enough to tangle with an F/A-22 in combat had better be all squared-up with their chosen deity.

No doubt it's a good aircraft, especially in the hands of a good pilot. But in all fairness, it hasn't been in any action other than some intercepts and chasing an Iranian F-4 away after a very close intercept.

I seem to recall the same comments being made about the F-15....and reading about how a civvie aggressor outfit with F-86's once handed them their backsides until they re-learned Chennault's lessons.

Interesting how he taxied away with up elevator. I wonder if that was to vector the thrust up and not blast everything on the ramp behind him.

Yep, you'll notice that he drops them to neutral as soon as he's a little down the taxiway.
