Very cool video!

This is one of the favorite topics amongst a couple of old fighter jocks I work with. Although they may look alike basically no contest between the F22 and the F35. F35 being a multi role aircraft and the F22 being strictly an air superiority aircraft. The F22 cruises at mach 1.8 which is greater then the top speed, with full afterburners, of the F35 at M 1.6.

When Oboma/Congress canceled any follow on procurement of the F22 I asked one of my buddies his thoughts and word from his old squadron was basically that we don't need any more then the 180 or so F22's already built or ordered to control the skies anywhere in the world even if the enemy was flying the F35. It's that dominating!

Put another way the US will sell the F35 to any ally but the USAF is and always will be the only AF to fly the F22 wink
