F-22: Would you intercept me?....I'd intercept me...

[happilyham]

The fact that the F-22 was never sold to other countries speaks volumes as to how amazing of an aircraft it truly is. Even the US's closest allies are not allowed to own this aircraft.

[Mortico]

I think the fact that the F-22 didn't see much combat is partly because it was a successful deterrent. No one tried to contest airspace, because the F-22 ruled the skies.

My son is a Raptor pilot stationed at Langley. I had an opportunity to have a walk around of his plane. What a piece of beautiful engineering. Just gorgeous.

I'm a simple man, I see F-22, I click like.

[chenrayen]

The F-22 is that fantasy fighter jet that came true: it’s mean but sexy looking. It cost ton of money. It has a sense of mystery while owning a great combat record. *edit: [perceived] combat record

'You really ought to go home.' What a line.

My dad who recently retired after 40 years in service, was a engineer working on fitting all the technology we had inside the cockpit of the F-22. He would fly out to San Diego for weeks at a time and he said him and several engineers would spend weeks in a windowless bunker underground while working on the plane. After that we moved to Missouri and got to see the other Air Force darling B-2. I had the pleasure of going inside the B-2 cockpit area and was amazed at the amount of buttons everywhere.

The F-22 is definitely my favourite fighter jet ever, such an incredibly capable and gorgeous aircraft.

Imagine seeing a small blip on a radar that you think might be an error. Then, for a split second, it immediately grows larger than returns to its previous size. It's then you realize an F-22 has acquired a lock and has just sent an AIM-120 your way.

"You really ought go home" is the most gangster shit to be said by a fighter pilot

[gimletinf]

“WOULD YOU INTERCEPT ME?!? I’D INTERCEPT ME!!”

-22💀

[marcelogaea]

As a retired Airman, “You really ought to go home” is the USAF’s slogan to everyone else 🤭

[hectorsilva]

I have seen the F-22 at air shows perform X-box style maneuvers that seem impossible but happened in front of me. Even when it taxis by, you can SEE, this thing is DIFFERENT.

[dan]

The best jet in history, period. So good that the US Gov’t said no to free money from others allied forces which could have extended the platform for another 30 years. That’s the most telling statement.

[skyden]

"Sadly, before it could display its true potential as 'king of the skies' ..."
I'd have to say that an air superiority fighter that nobody else wants to challenge has displayed its true potential as 'king of the skies.' 😉😁😄

[coconutsmarties]

For me, this is the best looking fighter ever made

My dad who hated the idea of video games bought me an F-22 flight simulator in the 90s. It stuck with me to this day. It's my favorite airplane and it will always be.

[monckey]

I was simply obsessed with this thing as a kid. I bought every flight game with an F-22 in it, built models, drew it, etc. the only thing that came close was the SR-71. on one hand it’s good they haven’t really been necessary, cause you know, war. but on the other, it would’ve been neat to really see how they do in real world dogfights

[OReely]

I was stationed at Nellis AFB and had seen every type of aircraft and was used to seeing the Thunderbirds training weekly. The first time I had seen an F-22 performing its maneuvers... I was stunned. It has to be seen to be believed.
