They sure are, aren't they? Makes for some nice wallpaper too, if so inclined.

A little love to the Edwards jets. Despite how they look, at various periods of time, the Edwards jets can be considered the most advanced F-22s flying.

Several F-22s from Tyndall's 95th FS arrived at Spangdalem AB, Germany on 8 August 2018. The stated mission goal of the deployment is as follows:

The 95th FS is deployed to Europe for several weeks to conduct training with other European-based aircraft as part of a Flying Training Deployment. Forward locations enable collective defense capabilities and provide U.S. and NATO the strategic and operational breadth needed to deter adversaries and assure our allies and partners. The F-22s will also forward deploy to other locations in Europe to train with NATO allies in order to maximize training opportunities...

That 2018 Hampton demo was awesome. Correct me if i'm wrong, but that Raptor took off with 17K of fuel and barely at the 2:00 mark goes into a 360 degree turn that only takes 19 seconds.... That's incredible-
Loco is one cool dude!

F-22s arrived and training with Spanish Typhoons and Hornets for the first time at Albacete, Spain on 16 August 2018. According to Spanish aviation journalist and photographer Jorge Portalés Alberola and reported to the article's author:

...there were 2 different WVR (Within Visual Range) dogfights: the first one was a 1 vs 2 between an F-22 and 2x Eurofighters from Ala 14 based at Albacete; the second one involved the other Raptor and one F-18 Hornet from Ala 12 (122 Squadron) – actually this second aerial engagement was slated to be a 1 vs 2 scenario but one of the Hornets aborted.
