Wow!  What an awsome video! :o :o :o  Its amazing what they can do with those vectored thrust engines.

I just wish the Air Force would have sent one of these birds to Salinas for this weekends airshow.

Pretty wild! I still think the Black Widow II looked better but of course looks isn't all, even though I think I read it was superior to the Lightning II/Raptor/Rapier or whatever they've decided to finally call the F-22.

THAT is impressive ::unbelieveable::
Watching the elevons (the tail flippy things) work during the tailslide is awesome, I hope to see one at an airshow soon.
