    The Raptor is my favorite war plane so far.

    If you are a pilot as I am, you will appreciate this fabulous airplane.

    Watch it demonstrate flying.
    Pay attention to how fast it turns totally around. This is valuable in combat. Notice it performs what appears to be feats of magic. Notice how quickly it changes from level flight to straight up flight.

    Anyway enjoy your warplane.

    Awesome aircraft. I wish they could make the F-22 for DCS World flight simulator. Unfortunately they concentrate on older aircraft that they can get all the details on that I am sure are highly classified in the Raptor. Oh well, I'm still having a blast with the F/A-18C and A-10C.

    It's a nice aircraft, but my all time favorite is and will always be the A-10. I wish they would come out with a new, modernized version of it, though still with the turbofan engines and that ridiculous gun.

    Would you supply us with a video where the Warthog is praised and lamented for being a tank for an airplane?
    mind you I too think the Warthog proved its worth for troops on the ground.

    The two seat version that was proposed (and a modified one built as a one off ) would be better. Even uglier than the production A-10 but otherwise plenty effective.

    I know the F35 is a flawed but fine airplane but for fighting the F-22 is superior.

    I have been on the Tarmac with the A-10 and reports are it is one hell of a tough airplane with tremendous fire power. We need that kind of airplane.
