  • Pretty cool how you can see the vectoring flame of the afterburner.

    Must be so cool to be able to say: "yea I fly f-22s"

    You can see the turbine glowing after the afterburners were turned off at 3:52.

  • i wonder what is that sound ? it sounds like 2 seconds and stop, i thought something wasnt working properly in the plane but then i heard it many times in diff planes, and even the last one when turnned on the after burnining i could hear it again!

    Now I understand why they chose this for Starscream in the Transformers movies.

    This means in a real combat scenario that flamme at the back of F22 is the real weakness . If the aircraft body is invisible on enemy radar ,that flamme is not invisible to powerful heat seek sattelite based in space.
