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.

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

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.
