Sick AoAs while still flying....the turn radius is impressively small
don`t get into a dogfight with this thing..

the Tailslide looked awesome as well

This aircraft is one huge assembly of modern aviation technology

That was a very cool video. I love that they threw in the Hoover Pitch. Thanks for posting it up.

I'd love to see this plane in actual dog fight scenarios. But that brings me to a question; if the days of dog fights are nearly (if not completely) over, why do we need this plane?

- Just a question.

Dude, that sounds perfect right now.

But seriously, this is some impressive stuff! Love the F-22, seriously capable fighter. I have to say, though, I can't wait for a video like this of the F-35 - STOVL FTW
