That's me in the F-22. I was up there looking for hookers when a space shuttle blew past me.

I'd love to know what level flight clearance level that guy has.
Langley F22 Squadron has full clearance. Looks like the tail matches.

I was expecting to see an AP2 engine somewhere in this picture before I entered the thread.

whoa....that's a badass picture. I've always loved the Raptor. Purely aesthetically, I think it looks WAY better than the F35.

Nice find
So do I. Hence, my screen name.

I'm pretty sure he is up there to keep anyone flying in the area that may have some bad intentions.

I was watching a special on the F22. 2 Raptors took out 6 F15 Eagles in a war game without the F15's even knowing what the hell was going on. To quote one of the F15 pilots, "it was quite demoralizing."
