Sick, sick, sick... sick, sick shot Mike.
The F-22 is a truly remarkable piece of machinery. Can get up to over mach 2 and can just as easily cruise by at a snail's pace. Plus the thing can seemingly stop and turn in mid air with the vectored-thrust thingy. Pictures/movies of it just don't do it justice to its maneuverability. The plane is straight up nuts.
I love the joint airshow... totally worth checking it out if anyone reading hasn't been there before. I was out of town for it this year, but O'Shea and Maria went to check it out.
Here's my favorite pic from 2008; the "heritage" flight with a P-51, F-4 Phantom, F-18 and the F-22. I'm sure to fly in formation, the P-51 had to be full throttle while the F-4 was fighting not to stall, lol.
If you decide to go next year, hit me up. We generally go if we're in town.
It is good to see you back on the board. I was hoping that WoW hadn't completely consumed you....yet.
