Dr. Apex Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 It's a little shakey because it was hard to keep up with the speed of the planes at times. The Raptor is amazing, goes into a vertical climb then hovers pointing straight up and flips over....any other plane in the world would stall and crash!! Awesome show but pricey, Enjoy.

vitamincj Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Thanks for the vid! I was at the show today and it rocked. I love all that vintage stuff. Those Rolls Royce engines sound great! Great vid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 It was pretty cool crawling around in a B-17!! Those things were not built for big guys and the poor guy that had to squeeze into the ball turret at the bottom of the plane.....sheesh!!

coltboostin Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Wow, you guys dont get 1/5th of the air show we get up here. If your into that-its worth the trip up north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 This wasn't a normal annual airshow and you don't see a fraction of what's there in my film, this show featured primarily Air Force planes. Considering the best air shows in the region are put on in Dayton at Wright Patterson there's no need to travel 3 hours up north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 WoW...great vid. The entire weekend was amazing. The F22 does stuff that it just shouldn't be able to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 fyi it's no longer called a YF-22, the Y was removed after they started production. Yeah, bad habit. I heard the announcer say it had been changed to the FA-22 now since the plane had gone into service. It was really cool seeing all the old Mustangs, many of them had a good number of kills to their credit and were still in good shape(though I'm sure somewhat restored). There were around 100 of the said 160 P-51 Mustangs left in existence at this show and one of the only replicas of the Japanese Zero from the movie "Tora, Tora, Tora" as no Zero's are believed to be left in existence.

DrEvil3264 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 It was an awesome show, I was lucky enough to go for a ride in the B25 named "Pacific Prowler" for free. One of my fraternity brother's dad owns and flys the plane in airshows across the country. It was Amazing how loud and small those old bombers are inside.

Brandon Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I saw the whole show on sunday, and the raptor was AWESOME. The russians already have there thrust vector plane, which was prior to the raptor sucoy(sp) s-35 or s-30 I believe search you tube, its insane what it does.

coltboostin Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Considering the best air shows in the region are put on in Dayton at Wright Patterson . Wright Patterson puts on a good show, but take away their sanding display-and Ceveland is the larger show. there's no need to travel 3 hours up north. You must have the slowest s2000 on earth.

SPLN SUX Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I bought a ticket for $5 and didnt even go... i really wanted to see all the WW2 prop fighters... i did see a couple of the P51s fly over my store though... i was talking to my boss on the phone and swa them outside and threw the phone down and ran out to see them. She wasnt too happy about that but i didnt give a shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli1647545497 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 The Raptor is amazing, goes into a vertical climb then hovers pointing straight up and flips over....any other plane in the world would stall and crash!!Not true, but the F22 is still an impressive plane. Thanks for posting that. I have about 4Gig's of footage from the airshow but I'm too lazy to take it off the SDs. *something about Cleveland putting on a good airshow*Cleveland the best airshow in the area? Maybe for amateurs... Quality over quantity - this airshow beat Cleveland's hands down, and since you probably don't know why, 3 words: shitload of P51s That's like choosing wether to go see a dozen Lamborghini's or a sea of Chevy Luminas. And this is coming from a NAVY pilot (jk, I endured the Air Farce stuff there, even enjoyed abit of it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supldys Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 This is that other plane that can manuver like the 22, but it dosent matter that much because moves like that will never be used in combat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I climbed into a B-17 they had there, really neat to see what the planes were like back then....I feel really sorry for that guy in the bottom ball turret, that thing was tiny!!!
