Hope you all like this one, I l know I did:

On a side note, remember there used to be a debate about just how much visibility the pilot had out the back? I think the video puts the doubts to rest... |

I must have missed that one. Did someone say the rearward visibility was poor or something? |

| That looked like it was the high g turn followed by J-turn manuevre. Check out the control surfaces. |

This was taken at Langley AFB. The planes on the ramp indicate it was taken during an airshow. They just had their airshow this year but the 22s didn't fly, so I'm guessing this was taken in 2009 (no 2010 airshow).

He might've been mistaken for the F-35 because that's the only current
fighter jet that has been criticized for possible lack of visibility. |
