I saw them [F-22s] at an airshow at Elmendorf right after they were first deployed there.
The pilot brought it in low and slow, then hovered standing on its tail.
I was impressed.
More so than back In '85.
I was working a construction contract at Eilson near Fairbanks. They has an air show also.
An F-15 was flown over from Elmendorf for an exhibition.
They flew it over low and slow, stood it on its tail, then immediately shot to 15k' in a matter of seconds.
It looked like a jet engine with a saddle strapped on it.
The F-22 was a much more delicately controlled demonstration of ability.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
