Yurgon Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Wow, I didn't know about this interview. Truly a fascinating read, thanks for posting!
Snoopy Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 I saw the F-22 demo team perform today....I've been a part of the USAF for almost 36 years in various forms (depended, active duty, reserves, civil service) and been to more air shows than I can count and the demo blew me away, video's don't do it justice. If I saw an F-15 do the things the F-22 did today I would have thought the 15 was about to loose control and crash. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website
Vekkinho Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 ^^^^ It probably would! I saw one of the F-22 displays on YT and it really kicks ass! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Cupra Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 But will this jet ever make a real fight? Or well he be called back if there is a option of loosing an F-22? DCS F-16C Blk. 40/42 :helpsmilie: Candidate - 480th VFS - Cupra | 06

Jona33 Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 The right situation it'll be used.... If we get in a major AA war I've no doubt the F22 will be stunning. Just depends if we end up in one now... (As a side note people complaining about 30 hours of maintenance for an hour of flying I think that's what the apaches were doing and they turned out all right.) Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
EtherealN Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Also remember the deterrent factor: if the existance of the F-22 makes it so that there is no fight at all (because the prospective enemy knows they'd be unable to use the airspace), then the plane has already done a massive job simply through existing.
