silverado427 10,770 Posted May 21, 2012 This falls under cool, but its a quick video of the f 22 demo team at andrews afb. Some of this jets moves are remarkable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueLineFish 615 Posted May 21, 2012 That thing is pretty amazing. Is it true that it has to be serviced more than it can fly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soju 153 Posted May 21, 2012 What it requires to maintain those...yes, it is a LOT! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silverado427 10,770 Posted May 21, 2012 I Believe it requires half the ground crew of a F15 E and can fly twice as many sorties before regular maintenance is needed.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSF01 13 Posted May 21, 2012 I Believe it requires half the ground crew of a F15 E and can fly twice as many sorties before regular maintenance is needed.. I don't know if that is true or not but if it is, I would say that it is most likely due to the fact that they are brand new and not 25+ years old. If you owned a car for 25+ years and were still using it as a daily driver it to would need more maintance more often than a brand new car. The cool factor for the F-22's comes from what they are suppose to be capable of, not what they actually are. They still need to work out the bugs before it will be the fighter that it is suppose to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arbelest 29 Posted May 22, 2012 The F-22's are the best fighter jets on the market, but theres only two downsides. 1. Their expensive as anything 2. The last times planes were used in massive dog fights was WWII, but it doesn't help to be prepared I guess. As not to take away from the thread, below is a well known and respected plane, to bad they were retired. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
