Say what you will (and this is NOT a slam), but..a Raptor in flight always looks to me like something from a science fiction movie. An amazing aircraft to be sure. But those 2 pix Scott posted almost makes the Raptors look like CG aircraft.

I assure you it is not CGI. These were shot about May 5. I got them from the father of the guy flying the lead F-22.

Scott,

Very GOOD photo's ! But if you look at it, and this seems very odd and sad to say it this way. But here you have the Old and New. Who would have thought that the venerable F-14 would ever be called Old !!

Thanks again Scott,

Paul

I know I was just responding to ww2John's comment. And oh yes these are for real.
