...over California and Nevada.
Decided to take my new F-22 for a short flight from Edwards (KEDW) to Nellis (KLSV)

The VC, fairly decent looking IMO PANTS, quite interactive tho!


After a cruising at FL520, I decided to stick the burners on and dive to medium alt...


What flight of mine would be complete without this? ...


Slowly closing in on Vegas, pulling up alongside a Soutwest 737...


After waving at a few passengers and the pilot, broke away and carried on to Nellis...


Turning for short finals (yes, I know I'm off, but I'm a military pilot...who cares? )...


Down, parked, engines off, another succesful flight...


Thanks for looking...

Great shots!

Hey Jeff,
Just had a look at a pic of a real F-22 panel/cockpit.....that one *points up* is pretty pants eh? :-/

Ah well, she flies great and looks great in screenies too!
I guess I'll just have to spend more time taking pics

I'm sure someone will confirm either way

It will tho...red flag has gotta have one of these babies

Nice pics!

What Raptor is that, from who?

Charlie might be able to best help on this. But supercruise is used once at or above supersonic speeds. I believe the afterburners are used to get it there then they are switched off. Alot like Concorde used to fly.

Did I hear my name? Yep the F-22 does have burners, which day to day would be seldom used I expect. Take off and

Who knows that paint might be on the F-22 in the future, when it becomes a aggressor.
