El Karacho1647545492 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 4 flew over our dealership on Wednesday in formation. Loud and low enough to shake our windows, looked cool to see 'em all turn west together in formation. I don't believe I've ever seen an F-22 in the air, it was pretty remarkable to see.

Putty Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Anyone near the base...? Wonder if there's viewing access from public area. 44 F22s would be cool to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not going to be able to see them from any public area where they are parked at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buelliganx1 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 But if you or someone you know has a pilots license you could land at Rickenbacker and taxi right past them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
