Insane F-22 Cobra and Flare Maneuver

The most impressive air show maneuver of 2023

[aviation-action]

This is still by far the best air show manevuer I've ever seen! It is rare when the RAPTOR gets permission to chuck flares while doing this... adds a layer of wow for sure. Comment down below if you've been able to see the RAPTOR before and if you have a jet you like better! And please remember to like, share, and subscribe!!!

Imagine a WW1 footsoldier seeing this suddenly appear in the sky during battle. They'd think aliens have invaded earth😂

The smoke Really shows the fluid dynamics in action

"Would you intercept me?...
_Lip smack_ 👄
... I'd intercept me"

[Schwing]

anyone else watch this over and over multiple times. This is insane.

"I don't care for my current angle of attack. Lemme just defy gravity and do a loop in midair."

[tristanlanier]

You've got to stop and appreciate the skilled pilots that discovered what these incredible planes are capable of

[bryangriffin]

That was insane. Excellent pilot he knows his aircraft.

Holy shit thats impressive, really shows off how badass the f22 is

[Steinerman]

The scariest flying object since the Cretaceous period

Ok so, quick fact: that is not a cobra manuever, it is a kulbit, its basically a loop but way more tighter
Edit: Oh damn bro, come back after some time and there was a fight in the replies?

[SergeantPsycho]

Wonderful demonstration of aerobatics, engineering and fluid dynamics all at the same time.

[Ironbattlemace]

This awakened something primordial in me, tears came to my eyes and I don't understand why.

float like a raptor, sting like Lockheed

Instructor: "Alright, this'll be your first day in the F22. It'll feel a bit different than the T38 now, so when you get up there, just do a simple traffic pattern to get a feel for the controls."

I saw an F-22, F-35, and P-51D Mustang flying in formation. The Mustang had the pedal to the metal and the other 2 were just above stall speed, but it was an amazing sight!

That ain't cobra, that's a whole ass python💀

[chrisbayus]

This is proof that the F22 can literally pull a hairpin 180 and fire a missile behind itself
