Fuck yeah!

Those F-22s are fucking badass^4. They make them here in Georgia and I saw them flying around one day. The F22 was chasing a F-16 and basically cut him off on the inside. Probably in the same manner Rossi would pass me in a turn. Ultimate ownage.

That's not an easy feat because the F-16 was designed as a dogfighter and be more agile than anything else (ability to cut inside the turns of every other aircraft of its day).

Oh, I know. I grew up with a father in the Air Force and knew everything there was to know about jets. The F-16 was the shit to me because I knew how well it could manuever. To watch the F22 (a jet I played on a video game from years past as the YF-22) own it like that was amazing to me.

I was on the USS Nimitz when this was taken. We were on sea trials off the coast of San Diego after we got out of dry dock(DSRA) in 1990.
