Cpt. Oscar Mike Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) BRAIN DEAD--F22s NOT F35s...lesson learned..never post while wife is yelling at you...dangerous to accuracy!!! I'm posting a link to an AWESOME Video which has more than F-22s and is different than any other video w F22s I've ever seen...considering the exercise at the base occurred only last week thought would share it...The Video was posted on March 27, 2019...what makes this video different??? It's not an air show...It's from an active USAF Base in Alaska...The 1st 5 minutes is basically just taxing then it gets interesting after showing F-22s in an Elephant walk..but everything after is the REAL REASON I'M SHARING..in fact can fast forward to around 5:25 minute mark or so is a quick COBRA but then if keep watching will see what I call a modified cobra maneuver is ~6:04...after that is handful of different things I've never seen including an F-22 flying alongside a WarBird...a prestige Mustang no less...any case..Wasn't sure where to Post so apologize if in wrong area..I'm new to DCS..Believe most will enjoy...Disclosure...IT IS NOT MY VID...I just stumbled across it and wanted to share...I saw it on You-Tube...Title of Video is: Two Dozen F-22 Raptor Showcase Overwhelming Combat Airpower During Elephant Walk Link: It looks to be filmed by a civilian or maybe ground crew...The Weather that day was not severe clear..due to being Alaska can't tell if early morning, sunset or what time of day it is..but looks very cold w snow everywhere--also no commentary, no annoying noises, no crowds, no fanfare...just someone w a handheld regular camera...really cool though...hope all enjoy who view it Edited April 4, 2019 by Cpt.

Ocelotunit Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I didn't see a single F-35 in that video. And Raptors often fly with Heritage aircraft. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMEDooley Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Alaska doesn’t have a single F-35 yet. The only combat coded base at this time is Hill AFB in Utah. And we did do an elephant walk last November. I was there when it happened. It was about the dumbest thing I’ve done in the Air Force lol.

SFJackBauer Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 That's not a Cobra maneuver. In a Cobra Maneuver traditionally performed by Flankers / Fulcrums the aircraft does not gain altitude as the F-22 did. It was just a high AOA climb. And also, dude... that Youtube channel is chock full of clickbait videos and true "fake news" its not even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracoLlasa Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I feel the whole OP was click bait. Only the users 2nd post.. Maybe some can at least move this to Chit-Chat, it's def not news.

While I agree that particular maneuver was not the Cobra the Raptor can easily do the Cobra and others the Flanker couldn't...

SFJackBauer Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 While I agree that particular maneuver was not the Cobra the Raptor can easily do the Cobra and others the Flanker couldn't... Both have two wings, two rudders, two engines and TVC. Both are subject to the same laws of physics. I don't see how the Raptor in any way could perform a maneuver that the Flanker couldn't.

The Cobra results a small altitude gain during the manoeuvre and loss after regaining the normal flight. And yes, the F-22 performs only a high AOA climb pull.
