Lockheed F-22 Raptor detailed tour!

Apologies I made an error when I said that the thrust vectoring could move laterally. It’s just up and down. Otherwise, I hope you enjoyed the video and make sure you subscribe as many more are coming. I'm working on the YF-23 video at the moment!

I love how the F-22 is a 1990's plane that still hasn't aged a second. It no joke looks like the F-22 was designed today using today's technology!

I forgot to tell you Paul, one of the jobs I always disliked was climbing into the exhaust after flight to inspect it. If you got to it quickly then the exhaust didn't have much time to heat soak, but if you delayed few minutes.. HOTTER than Hell is an understatement, especially in the summer in New Mexico.

The aircraft on display (S/N 91-4003) was one of nine F-22s built for Engineering, Manufacture and Development (EMD) testing, and it rolled off the assembly line on May 22, 1999. Assigned to the 412th Test Wing at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., the aircraft made its first flight on March 6, 2000. After completing its phase in the test program, this aircraft came to the museum in January 2007...

Bloody amazing aircraft! For a design that's well over 25yrs old, it still looks very modern! Another great tour Paul.

F-22 Raptor is the most beautiful badass fighter jet I have ever seen. The fact that it has thrust vectoring and true stealth is already an engineering marvel that no other fighter jet in the world can even compare. As advanced as the F-35 may be, it still doesn't even come close to defeating this fighter jet.

I'm a former crew chief turned engine backshop and have worked on these Jets for some time. I can say that those engines look so much more different after the improvement and final development phase and mass produced. I love these Jets and I still think they rule the skies.

I was just there last Sunday, and I was blown away at how many pieces they had, and all the volunteers that were so eager to tell us little stories about a lot of the aircraft. It's only a couple of hours from where I live and we plan on going back very soon! My son has been talking about aircraft nonstop since the top gun movie came out, but he discovered a video on the xb70 and that was the nearest thing on earth to him. He didn't know it was in the last building and was getting bummed out that he didn't get to see it, then when he walked through the door his jaw dropped! I was impressed as well lol. I've been showing him your videos this week and he is a huge fan! Thank you for showing us in detail everything on all these planes. I'm glad he's watching something like this rather than the silly stuff he use to watch.

Just realized ive never actually seen the raptor this close amazing vid

It's funny how the F22 is a museum where they'll let you walk right up to it, whereas the J-20, the only foreign fighter that comes close to second place, (not sorry su57), is a closely guarded secret and piece of new tech that's only just gone into serial production, and will drastically affect the battlefield.

This particular F-22 with its light gray paint job is my favorite Raptor.

I love how you actually explain little details that other walkaround channels would've just skipped over. Get to learn things that couldn't just be found skimming through the aircraft's Wikipedia article

Blessed to live 3 hours from here. This was a one of a kind tour of a still very classified jet! We almost never see the Raptor let alone up close like this. Great stuff

There is also a YF-22 on display at the museum at Edwards AFB. Impressive aircraft. Great tour, thank you!

Thanks for the tour! Can’t wait to use the F-22 that’s been in my garage for awhile.

Easily my all-time favorite plane. Great to see it up so closely. The Wright-Patterson air museum is incredible- worth a trip to Dayton just to see that. Terrific vid and thank you!

Another detailed and insightful walk-around as always Paul. Thanks mate!

you know when they let civilians this close to give this much details of the aircraft that they are way beyond this technologically with their new aircrafts. 😍 proud to be an American! can't wait to see the next thing they allow us to see lol

Awesome work Paul, Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Paul. I've always loved the F-22
