- Hop in the cockpit of a F-22 as a pair of Raptors fly over NASA's Kennedy Space Center and the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building as the SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket launched (timecode 0:56) Starlink mission 6-52 from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
As the rocket ascended, two F-22 Raptors accompanied the Falcon 9 up to 18,000 feet, offering a spectacular one-of-a-kind aerial view, before peeling off and heading west for the 2024 Orlando Air Show.
We're excited to present to you this exclusive POV footage from the cockpit of Captain Samuel "RaZZ" Larson as he and Safety Officer Sawyer Murray follow the Falcon 9 Rocket up to Class A Airspace.
We're extremely thankful to everyone who helped us coordinate this incredible event! We hope you enjoy!

This was on April 18th, 2024. I was at the Orlando Airshow two days later, where the F-22 display pilot also spoke about this event. Freaking chasing a SpaceX rocket on its way to the orbit! With a F-22 fighter... He couldn't believe they actually got the opportunity to be doing this. And he was still smiling days later. I'm sure, he is still smiling now. Just like like most of us, who are now watching this... :)
It's amazing that rocket launches are now so routine that the focus is on the F-22 Raptors, not the Falcon 9. Thank you Space X.
THANK YOU for not putting in annoying background music like the other 99% of TH-cam.
He didn't chase it, he observed it.
The Raptors hitting the afterburners and flying with the rocket is like when dogs find each other and immediately start playing together.
Too bad they weren't chasing Starship. Then you would have raptors chasing raptors...
Falcon: "Would you intercept me?"
This reminds of a mission in Ace Combat 7 when you have to chase ICBMs before they reach space and shoot them down.
Beyond impressive climb rate. F-22 is truly in a league of its own 🫡🇺🇸
Watching a Falcon 9 launch from the cockpit of a F-22, now thats something you dont see every day! Thanks
22: "You should go home now."
First time i have seen a raptor with a legitimate reason to go full afterburner

"What did you do today at work dad"? "Oh nothing much son, just chased a rocket ship into orbit"!!!😅😁
SpaceX gets fighter escort, freaking awesome!
Seemed to get a late start. I guess the point was to get them both in the picture going vertical. The F-22 would win the race maybe to about 30,000 feet, then Falcon 9 would dramatically pull away from it…just the nature of a rocket going to orbit.
When I was at the Orlando air show (first day) I got to finally meet my favorite pilot after the demo (Razz) we talked and I told him how amazing the performance was! After that, he ripped off his F22 Demo Team patch and gave it to me. I have it framed next to my F22 model. You can see that same patch at the very beginning of the video on his bottom shoulder to his right side!

That was incredible - what a rate of climb! Impressive to see it keep up with the accelerating SpaceX rocket for a moment.
A cool hot rod trying to chase a Top Fuel Dragster... still cool anyways!
