In this F-22 Raptor video, Major Paul "Max" Moga talks you through the maneuvers he performs during the airshow demonstration flight. Each maneuver is shown from entry to exit so you get a true feel of the F-22's capabilities. I shot this at the 2007 Sacramento airshow. Strap in!
It'd be interesting to see the Russian show queens or the Eurochicken attempt that type of turn rate . I'm also curious as to the numbers behind those turns (i.e. enter and exit speeds, g load...).

I'd love to see a Mono flip followed by an immediate pedal-turn, thus reversing direction of nose coming out of the flip and maybe segwaying into a 3rd manuever after the pedal!
But who wouldn't want the Raptor to replicate even the Super Hornet's dem flight display for starters? That is one pretty fluid display.

That Charleston video, has something I haven't seen before. Is that a knife edge right after lift-off? I have was @ the March show and couldn't tell whether it was a turn or an edge. I went to the museum side of the AFB, where you get a unique view of the show and of course I didn't bring my camera. The m/v where the Raptor is flying backwards, flat-spining and spiral diving were great because it looked as though it was falling straight down on top of us.

Well the turn was after lift off and was a positioning turn...ie...to the show box.

Can't wait for the Raptor to finally blow the doors off in RIAT 08. Perhaps the demo team will add a new trick or two to the repertoire yet? Wish I could be there anyway.

I would hope for a double hammerhead, but I think that's just wishful thinking.

If they did that they would need re-certification from COMACC. I don't think they'll be adding anything else.

I would like to see a negative AOA, pass. Never been done before, @ a show, that I know of.

Negative AOA pass into a TVC negative half loop, or even a negative double immelman!
