The event is real, but as for the pic I'm really not sure IMO.
Either he was really lucky and took the shot at the perfect moment or some slight editing was involved.
Imagine how fast its moving? Pic doesn't make it look like its goin above 20 mph...

Still cool though. I love fighter jets. Too bad the F22 program is dead

It's not dead, just no more production orders. A terrible mistake.

The f22 is awesome, but buying any more of them is a severe misallocation of defense spending. 140 million for a plane with capabilities which will, in all likelihood, never be necessary. Maybe in peacetime (damn Chinese!), but not with 2 wars going on - and especially when more f22s won't aid in attaining the objectives of those two wars.
