Any word or video of the 2011 Raptor demo? This time of year we usually get a peek at the Raptor going thru it's passes, by somebody around the base. With a new demo pilot and whether there are any new manuevers?

| Too bad, we all know the F-22 can do alot more than it is doing. Legacy AC are limited to banking and turning, slower or harder. But the Raptor has a nearly wide open envelope. Maybe we will see more in the future. |

| No reason for the USAF to give away what it can really do since it's not available for export. The Russians are the ones who build tumblers for airshows in order to get crummy little 3rd world dictators to sign checks for fighters they can't maintain. |

| The post-stall stuff starting at 4:50 and especially the backflip at 6:10 and the "hover" at 7:50 is just amazing. And I have to say, seeing it in person is an order of magnitude more impressive than in a video. |
