Most intelligent Russian aircraft enthusiasts I know greatly admire the Raptor. It's a beautiful and capable aircraft.
Consider yourself lucky you are "flying" a compact sedan and not the Raptor. BTW, found this on the net:
“The Air Force says the F-22 cost $44,259 per flying hour in 2008; the Office of the Secretary of Defense said the figure was $49,808. The F-15, the F-22’s predecessor, has a fleet average cost of $30,818.”
The USAF responds that USAF data shows that F-22 flight hour costs include base standup and other one-time deployment costs, which the F-15 no longer needs. The USAF says that variable cost per flying hour is a better comparison, and 2008 figures were $19,750 for the F-22 and $17,465 for the F-15. Of course, that’s still higher, and the Raptor program had promised flying hour costs below the F-15.

You must have a serious weed up your pucker.Cue the RUSSSIASTONG!!!111 crew.
Ontopic: Thanks for the Video Minefield! I forwarded it to one of my mates who absolutely adores the Raptor.
Anytime, Hisroyalhighness. BTW, your mate has a very expensive taste!

And yet I have't proclaimed anything on the bird, besides the fact the F-22 is one of the greatest air dominance fighters Mobius 1 has ever taken into battle.
Chill and Focus on those sexy Pratt and Whitney F119s.
I'd rather be focusing on sexy F120s but that's another debate. Sorry for the "RUSSIASTRONG" $hit. I've just seen so many F-22 threads attract that kind of attitude that I almost expect it.And yet I have't proclaimed anything on the bird, besides the fact the F-22 is one of the greatest air dominance fighters Mobius 1 has ever taken into battle.

Here's an olive branch:
Make sure you watch the video close to a place where you can sit down. If you feel disoriented or woosy please let someone know.
Exercise Polar Force: 525th FS F-22A Raptor "Surge" Flight Operations
Best in 1080p full screen.
External fuel tanks. Like putting wood paneling on a Lamborghini.
Nice! A real fighter and raises the bar quite high.
