Description

This YF-22 'Raptor' with vectored exhaust-thrust nozzles is on static display on the flight line at Nellis AFB, Las Vegas, Nevada during the 50th anniversary celebrations for the US Air Force becoming a separate branch of the service. This picture was taken in April 1997 and later scanned. Thanks for visiting, Sig...

This image reminds me that time flies too. 1997 for the YF-22 Raptor...13 years ago already. I like this because this is such a unique POV. I've never had a good look at the vectored exhaust-thrust nozzles before. Thanks Sig.

Very cool.. Nice picture have to say.. Great of course with that rare item in the UK, the sun! There is an article I spotted in a magazine about official tests the RAF and the new Typhoon and the Raptor did.. (As they do...) They would release the results.... Mmmmmmm! Makes you wonder.. Is it as good?) I have seen the Typhoon in full aerobatic mode and boy! But not a Raptor....yet! lol So... Are they actually THAT close.. Great picture.. Rob
