USAF F-35A Lightning II and F-22 Raptor Combined Twilight Demonstration | EAA AirVenture 2024

At first I thought we were going to get separate demos for the two, but it turns out that we got both flying together at the same time. Even better, eh? I personally have never heard of these two doing a combined demo before, and much less during twilight, has to be pretty rare if it has happened. This is a bit shaky, and my camera lost focus a few times because it struggles during low light, but regardless, it's still my favorite video that I have ever filmed.

Filmed with a Panasonic HC-WXF1 Camcorder

You can't really appreciate the sound of the F-22 until you hear it in person. You feel it in your chest as much as you hear it. It's a monster.

The sound of that F-22 in afterburner... 🤌

[EstorilEm]

HOLY crap... I've seen a ton of F-22 demos, but NEVER seen a pitch-up like that over the runway. My jaw is still on the

[michaelcole]

The 35 is great and all, but man.... that 22....

[HighRPM]

the F-35 may be beautiful but no one beats the F-22 it is simply perfect 🇺🇸🇺🇸

8:27 raptor *smirks* and says, oh yknow just one of the many tricks up my sleeve.

[Ash-sigi]

The F-35 is cool and all but the F-22 is still a fucking MONSTER

[trucklt]

Dude pulled a full cobra 3 seconds after the wheels came off the ground in the 22. What a modern masterpiece of aeronautical engineering.

Being in England it is comforting that with Putin and others in the world American engineering is still top notch. Thanks guys. Also I think your video being not perfect actually added to the experience of not being there and it is actually as we all would have filmed it. It got me more involved with the action ! All the best.

The f22s ability to do a complete 180 is insane, im not sure how the pilots dont pass out from the G's

You filmed this? I know you said it was a little shaky, but the tracking was supreme! <3

Didn't realise that the USAF gave it's announcers lines of coke before they start the display.

[destinyangel]

F22 engine sounds are better than any music !

Magnificent passes with both the F-35A and F-22A in full afterburners. Great footage 🫡😎👍

F-22: The luxurious car that the boss bought for himself.
F-35: The company car used by the employees.

[Shotcaller]

Seen several F22 demos. Never one this intense.

Think I just found my new favourite video on Youtube <3

All that humidity made for some nice contrail and shock wave action. 👍
