Check out the Falling Leaf maneuver 1:17 2:40 The Flip 1:50 which is your favorite ?

That overcast actually gives the raptor great contrast.

Mad props to that pilot. He was working the edge

Watching an aircraft perform like this I am awed by the fact that those large, yet remarkably thin control surfaces aren't just ripped right off of the plane. Imagine the structural engineering it takes to allow them to hold up under the stress!

Yes the plane & pilot are incredibly skilled and a marvel of modern engineering. But mad respect for being able to film that. Saw an F-35 at an airshow this summer and tried to even get a few good photos. Basically gave up and decided to just enjoy the show as it was just moving too fast. How you could capture this is a skill of it's own. Good job sir!

I can’t imagine the physical stress that pilot is going through.

The F 22 is an amazing aircraft. It's manoeuvrability is insane. The falling leaf manoeuvre looks fantastic. Just like the plane itself. Fantastic video

This video comes closer than any other that I've seen to capturing what it's like to see this aircraft perform in person! Great job! Some excellent views on the control surfaces moving, too.

Look, I don’t know anything about planes. But I recognize artistry when I see it. Amazing flying. Amazing filming. Amazing hardware and engineering. Breathtaking.

How you manage to keep the aircraft in the center of the frame is beyond me...well done!!

Wow another brilliant display, that falling leaf manoeuvre was unreal, can you imagine what these aircraft will be doing in 10 years or so, great video as always, thanks Elwyn

In the early 90s I had this game for the Sega Genesis called "F-22"...Ever since then I always wanted to see on of these planes. I FINALLY got to see one after decades at the Great Pacific Airshow. The little kid in this old man was so happy to see it.

I'd like to thank the pilots for their service and this amazing display of skills obtained throughout hundreds of hours of flight time. My absolute second favorite aircraft ever built is the F-22 Raptor. The first will always be the SR-71 Blackbird.

The pilot, the cameraman and the F22 all get 5 STARS!

just blows my mind how these things can stay together under that kind of stress. pilot is amazing.

The F22 ‘s maneuverability is truly impressive.

I liked having the clouds behind the plane to make the plane's motion very clear. The F-22 is a BEAST

Absolutely incredible! Makes one proud to be an American.

This chosen pilot just got to live the ultimate dream of flying in an incomparable F-22 Raptor while doing a free for all demonstration showing the Raptor's near unbelievable abilities, and the pilot's precision skills to top my list of F-22 videos. Thank you for being in our service with heartfelt wishes for a long and rewarding career!

Navy here, WOW! What an aircraft and wonderful shots you took! Gald to pay my taxes after that demonstration. I have no idea what the G's are in the cockpit, and don't care because I ain't flying it. Kudos to the pilot and you sir!

My gosh that deserves a standing ovation, thanks so much for sharing!

I’ve seen this aircraft demonstrated twice at 2 different military air shows. It’s extremely impressive, what it’s capable of. Mind blowing things that airplanes aren’t supposed to be able to do, like stopping in the sky and just hanging there in position and then levelling off in place, turning like it’s on a turntable, still not moving forward and then blasting off in the new direction. And that wasn’t even the weirdest thing I saw it do! It’s super creepy and super cool at the same time. It’s very intimidating.

Insane display by the pilot, I'm gobsmacked, especially at 2:40 that was insane Great job & thank you for capturing & sharing this, great work 👏👏👏

Outstanding videography! The clouds actually helped with the perception of speed and maneuvering!

Wow oh wow! Touch of an angel flying a sleek deadly protector of our freedom! Thanks gain Big E! 🤠🇺🇸🇨🇱🥃

That is probably one of the best Transition from the cobra to the falling leaf I've ever seen. Lighting the afterburner on the fly-by was sick 🤘. Btw, the high alpha wasn't bad either 👍

Brilliant display from a brilliant plane and excellent filming. After seeing this, lots of toilets in the Kremlin flushed ...

I remember the first time I saw an f22 fly. It pretty much hovered off the flight path up high waiting his turn. Awesome jet.

I was here at this show! This is where I grew up in Huntington Beach 👍

"Build in the past, ready for the future" Thx for being there😎👍

c'mon man this is absolutely insane what these 5th generation fighter jets can do, it defies logic! I'm curious of what the 6th generation fighters are going to be capable of.

I had the privilege of seeing an incredible display of F22 at the Avalon Airshow (Melbourne Australia) some years ago now. An experience I will never forget and one I talk about regularly to this day. What a machine!

Kudos to the photographer, this is amazing and to think the pilot is holding back on it blows my mind

Now I haven't watched every F-22 air show/demo video there is out there but I have seen a bunch and to me this is the best one showing a lot of the capabilities of the jet.

No G forces were harmed in the making of this video. It was close, but they’re ok.

F22's just get me so pumped up watching them. Maybe its the Airshow kid in me, but I love watching the capability of these machines in action

The lord of the skies quite literally

Falling leaf, eh. My jaw hit the floor when I saw that manoeuvre. Absolutely stunning. Great camera work. Thank you!

That thrust vectoring is amazing

I went to a airshow at Andrews AFB a few years ago and saw the Raptor do the stall and fall demo. The jet looked like it was less than 1000 feet high when it started falling. I was so stunned by the moment I didn't even get a video of it. I thought for sure it would crash but it pulled out of the stall with plenty of altitude left. Truly amazing aircraft!

Seagull 1: Boy, that bird is flying fast. Sealgull 2: You'd be flying fast too if your tail was on fire.

Okay, so now think about this, these guys are performing for the crowd, imagine what this thing can do in a real gunfight 👀

The flares at 1:20 are a nice touch! I hadn't seen that before. Also, having that little blue hole in the clouds as it stalls at the top of the Falling Leaf maneuver at 2:40 was breathtaking! What a shot! How did you arrange that? 😆

I'm retired Air Force. I often take a beach day and go to the beach at Tyndal AFB in Panama City, Florida. They have/had (before Hurricane Michael) F-22s there. You could watch them do touch and goes all day long. Compared to earlier top fighters, the F-22 is surprisingly quiet. 40+ years ago, you had to have ear protection on the same beach, especially when F-4s were still around!

The fierce sounds from those engines are incredible !!!

Very impressive both the man and the machine. It seems we have come a long way in a century of flying.

The falling leaf is simply insane.

Absolutely an exquisitely beautiful plane. Love it! Proud to be an American.

Growing up an Air Force brat in the 70's and 80's I wondered what would come along in the US air arsenal that would outperform and outmaneuver the F-16 and F-15. The F-22 does this and then sum!! That pilot makes that thing "dance" in the air like no one's business! CRAZY! Makes me proud to be an American!!

Your videos are the best on the Internet.

Previous comments have said it all: just sensational. Thanks for another gem, Elwyn 🙏🏻

I have seen a lot of aircraft flying at countless airshows over my 56 years on this planet and nothing, absolutely nothing, compares to the two times I have seen this aircraft going through it's paces. Just obscene what the F-22 can do in a demonstration flight.

When I see them raptors Makes me proud to be American

I remember watching a Dutch pilot at a Mildenhall air show going ballistic in an F16 up from the centre of the display line until invisible in a clear blue sky. He then put it in a flat spin and tumbled back into view and pulled out at about a thousand feet or less into a tight loop around the perimeter of the field. I remember it thirty years on as clearly as day. This display must have been as memorable to watch first hand too. ❤

phenomenal performance and no wonder there are no export version of this jet

Showing how graceful this plane can be, deadly and graceful all at the same time.

That was AMAZING. From the skill of the camera person to that of the pilot, what a great video!

What an amazing piece of engineering. Flyby wire and vectored thrust was a game changer.

Totally awesome Elwyn 👌👏👏 the manoeuvrability of the F22 Raptor in the hands of such a skillful pilot is just insane, then add flares and my favourite, a good amount of spluff galore, like at 3:50 and 5:15 just to mention a couple 😍😍👌👏👏 Thank you for traveling all that way to bring us this back, top man Elwyn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👌👏👏 ATB Andy

Excellent display. Great flying skills. As an Army helicopter pilot even I have to take my hat off to this USAF pilot. Great work!

Absolutely breathtaking. 🤩 Thanks so much for sharing. 😃

Man I wish they'd come back to RIAT again soon.. unreal display.

That pilot is the real deal.

The falling leaf maneuver is my favorite…thank you for this. This was absolutely fantastic

1:20 Dom, pop a Sunburst! Lol

Amazing skills. I have to confess, I find the Falling Leaf freaks me out a bit. In my head I know it's OK, but in my heart it's like nooooo, don't do that.

It's amazing that the F-22 is now an old bird and I think those twin engines just give it the edge over the F-35. Like the others are saying we can only imagine what at 6th Gen twin engine plane could do. Thank you Elwyn happy to carry your bags on your next trip.🇬🇧👊🏻👍🏻

Crazy. That must be so much fun if you could do it. I am retired, but for 20 years I worked for a Chicago based company. Every other year or so they would hold the summer outing on the Friday before the Air & Water Show, which is a practice day for the military jets. The company rented a cruise size ship for a couple of hundred of us. Invariably the jets would buzz the ship out on Lake Michigan for kicks. Ours and theirs. I’m sure it was well within the safety zone, but it sure got loud.

The king of the sky right there, folks.

At 2:45 the stability going backward is amazing! First rate camera work, BTW!

I've seen plenty of F-22 demos firsthand, but some of those maneuvers were new to me, and insane!

Simply the best to date, what a performance!

What an incredible machine and what incredible pilots they are ❤️🖖🏼

It always amazes me that something that was built, completely with only functionality in mind, could be so breathtakingly beautiful. Why is that?

Great camera work. I'm happy that I have lived long enough to see this. What a marvel.

Wow! that’s truly impressive to watch. Obviously the pilot has to be congratulated for his training and abilities to put this plane through its paces. Imagine the look on Orville and Wilbur’s faces seeing this fly over after their historic flight at Kitty Hawk and the F22 pilot says “ hold my beer”.😳😮🙄😬

I know it's cheesy, but someone has to say it. "I'm a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar."

The manouvrability of the Raptor never ceases to amaze me. That thing is so fast, so agile, so elegant, and yet so impressive. That fallen leaf manouvre is CRAZY! I LOVE IT! I wouldn't like to be the enemy in its presence! I can't stop watching this over. 😍👍

As impressive as it may be, I doubt any potential enemies plane/pilot combo can even come close to competing with a US Navy or AF pilot and a much cheaper F-15/16/18!

WOW props to pilot, airplane and cameraman. To a pilot of this or other high performance aircraft, I know this is a seriously demanding demonstration both mentally and physically. Does this ever stop being an awesome blast?

The amount of power to pull out of that fall leaf always blows my mind. Amazing thrust. Glad i'm on this side lol

love the falling leaf manoeuvre so much, and while not as showy, the high alpha pass is also a fave. havent had the pleasure of seeing the f22 in person at shows yet. We had the f35 out which had some great flare manoeuvres for the crowd but it would be nice to see it's predecessor at least once XD

Some pretty good flying skills right there 👍👍👍

Wow I thought the F35 was maneuverable 2 best jets in the world

Very grateful to live next to the city of Huntington Beach. Hat's off to the mayor, city officials , and law enforcement , in making H.B. a very safe, and exciting city to visit. They brought in the air shows years ago, along with surf boarding events, concerts, festivals on main street , fine dinning , and everything else. Always loved the air shows , a great place to see these talented , hardworking , pilots. God , bless America.

Bloody hell. Great shooting again 👍 That was some display. I heard the pilot was 6ft 1in when he took off, but only 3ft 2in when he landed.

really is a magnificent aircraft that mini loop at 1:54 was crazy, brilliant as always Elwyn 👍

Nice vid thx. Flying one here on Flight Simulator: its amazing. I suspect it’s easy to get over-confident, testing it’s incredible limits, because they are so damn powerful and nimble. One feels like anything is possible! -Probably it’s best that I stick to the simulator. Haha. Cheers!

this is the dude we need filming UFOs. great camerawork

caught the F-22 in person, in '07. Truly amazing!! USA!!

I thought that f35 display was incredible... F22: Hold my beer 😅❤😅

It's amazing!

Absolutely incredible photography and the pilot from this day forward to me will be known as the “Dancer”

The fookin' flip at 1:46 blows my mind. I don't live in a big house but I think he could flip that thing in my living room.

That is un effing believable. Craziest maneuvers I have ever seen. Can see why Maverick said that his F14 wouldn’t have a prayer against these gen fighters. Incredible

F-22 AND F-35 on the same team......enemies should be quaking in their boots! Great video of a fantastic performance!

My husband worked on the Boeing Prototype for the F-22... wish we had gotten that contract, but its still a beautiful jet, incredible technology.

I have no Idea how the pilot could figure out where he was with relationship to the ground. The hours of training and studies to be a f22 pilot makes him special in my book.

YESS! Just the other day I talked to my dad after he got back from this air show in Huntington, and he told me about the F22 that opened its bomb bay doors as it passed by, and I was like “man I wish I was there, I love air shows” and low and behold, I find a video of it on KZfaq 😅

This thing flies like its in ace combat, amazing
