Hey, I remember back when the Russians first hit the airshow scene doing those routines. It scared a pants off everyone.

The problem with the F22 is that it's just so American. From the hype to the brain washing to it's so secret caperbilities to the Walt Disney looks.
Regards less of how good it may be, how caperble it could be or how revolutionary it might be, one can not escape the fact that the airshow routines demonstrated by the worlds best trained pilots flying the worlds best performing most caperble airplane, are just so totally, utterly and brain numbingly DULL!

Wake me when the conversation returns to some Russian pilots giving breath taking demonstrations of some totally awesome aeronautical engineering... on a $500 budget!
ZZZZzzzzzzz
