Went to the Joint Forces Air Show at Andrews today. I've been to a lot of air shows and this one was much like the rest - cool planes and helicopters, plus tanks and other armored vehicles, various stunt planes plus the Thunderbirds performed, etc. But today I saw an aircraft that was so totally awesome, all I can say is:
O....M....G!!!! :wow:
The F22 Raptor is unbelievable. Speed, maneuverability, stealth, you name it, it's got it. If you get a chance to go to a show you have got to see this aircraft.

WOW!!!

Saw a Harrier demo a few years ago at Fleet week. It came roaring down the Hudson River and stopper mid-air off the end of the Intrepid. From what I understand the Raptor will be the last manned fighter. The avionics are getting so good the pilot is very often just along for the ride.
