There is nothing like seeing the best of the best in the fifth generation USAF Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor air dominance fighter being put through its paces in glorious full afterburning glory! I never get bored watching the mean looking and mighty Raptor scream through the sky then stop mid-flight and completely change direction using vectored thrust engines!




The Planes of Fame Airshow 2015 included a showcase flying display by the USAF F-22 Raptor Demo Team and as always it was an impressive performance. What is even more impressive is that they only show a fraction of its high-speed and extreme maneuverability during the show! I took the following photos during the Friday preview and the Sunday airshow days.















You always do such a great job of catching those jet in motion.

Thanks. It was a bit of a struggle this show – my camera is getting old, combined with dust, heat, haze etc it wasn’t always cooperating!
