USAF vet here, was an F-15A/B maintainer, 318th FIS. Love the F-22 and its capabilities. Keep up the Warrior way.
Respects to the engineers who designed the jets but dont even have the chances to ride em
You know what... thats one feeling that we always have,....
The test pilots are usually engineers. But, yeah, it takes a team of test pilot engineers and non-pilot engineers.
Still they probably get nearly as much joy watching this fly since its their "baby".
You can't wrap your head around how awesome this aircraft is until you see others in an airshow and then the F22. This thing is light-years ahead of everything else.
You're 100% correct. Saw it last year in an air show in Warner Robins, Ga. Blue Angels were there as well. Blue Angels were the ones who were promoted as something you don't want to miss. And they were awesome. However, this frigging jet was what stole the show. Incredible maneuvering machine. And I'm sure we just witnessed a fraction of its capabilities.
I 100% agree with you. I saw it at Portland airshow about 10 yrs ago, simply amazing. Unreal what it can do. USA!!!
You're right, first time I saw one at an Airshow (2007-2008) it scared me because the maneuvers it pulled were flat spins and stalls. But it just flew out of the situation like no big deal. Been to a lot of airshows and never seen anything like it.
I'm sure he works hard and deserves this, but he's still a lucky bastard!!
MrGriff305 .... He is well blessed by Yahweh bro....👍👍👍
Those guys are studying their ASSES off! I have 4000 hours in a pretty accurate F16 sim, and it took me YEARS to master it.....somewhat!
@Joshua Calosso English??
@Joshua Calosso Was your comment in English?
@Joshua Calosso Oh okay. Well, you seem very credible.
I can tell you right now that you don't have the ability to ever be one.
So cool to see this step by step from his perspective!
u are an airline pilot. u can't fly this fighter jet and when u talk ur lips look like u are kissing
@@talkshowlivehost3476 better than you sitting at home leeching off your family lmao
@@talkshowlivehost3476 You are flushed down the toilet on a daily basis
@@Raze145 lol nice joke
@@jasonguinn132 nice joke 🤣
You guys fly over my house several times a week. I live directly south of the midpoint of the LAFB runway. I love watching all of you and have spoken to several Raptor pilots over the years. I'm also happy to see that you are keeping current during the pandemic. Be safe and you are all in my prayers. FYI My dad was Army Air Corp during WWII and served in Burma.
bionicsjw They don’t fly over my house 😢😭
Man, this was cool. Hearing him explain each maneuver really added to the awe of watching it. The Raptor is a badass jet!
If I was the enemy I would be scared shitless seeing the F-22 Raptor flying over ( if you could see it ), thank you for the video and your service.
It's a stealth fighter. They won't see it.
The other day, a couple of them were flying some training exercises out of Hancock international. Nice and low, the sound was pretty awesome.
Made me wonder, what does an enemy even think when all of the sudden out of nowhere you hear that coming straight at you...
I like how he low key makes fun of the flanker cobra maneuver. Armchair pilots always criticize the F-22 for not pulling "cool looking" maneuvers and praising the SU planes for being able to flail around, not realizing that the controlled nature of the US cobra maneuver is more impressive and vastly more practical.
There is a huge difference from the F22 raptor demo team today from the 1st year the raptor went on tour. Still my favorite aircraft..
Lol @ armchair pilot comparing a post stall maneuver meant for air shows but forgets about the potential of the aircraft can actually do...if you haven't noticed variants of the cobra or the tailslide maneuver yet done by the Sukhois then you are blind
Well the SU is a fraction of the price of a f22
@@Marco-wz3ff F-22 has a 41-1 kill ration in exercises. 8-1 when pitted against other top of the line jets.
So yes, it costs more.
@@neudaiz source?
The f22 is the sexiest plane ever I swear
"So sexy even I wanted to fuck the f22 raptor"
@@nazurimen4578 omg
Always gives me a hard-on.
Really enjoyed this, Major, Great Job! My son who flies in a Navy Growler Squadron just returned from a deployment on a base with a Raptor Squadron. He gave you the ultimate compliment. "They're cool, dad, their jets and their pilots"!
I really enjoyed the insight and info. F-22 Raptor King of the Skies.
The maneuver dedicatedly Bob Hoover gave me goosebumps. Bob Hoover, for those of you that don’t know he is ,was a god in the cockpit. The finest stick and rudder pilot to ever take to skies. I love that he is being immortalized with this maneuver.👍🏻
Man, that is an impressive aircraft! To think the YF-22 is basically 30 years old and you still have this capability from a 22 year old fighter. I had no idea some of the abilities this airplane has. Before leaving tankers in 2004, got a chance to refuel one in training.
Also, if you have the ability to go, Singapore is one of the most beautiful places on the planet! Thank you for this video.
Imagine what we will find out about our actual current capabilities in about 30-50 years from now...
I live in Hampton, and see these almost daily in the skies. One thing that no one ever talks about is the weird ass "WAAAA" noise these things make when they turn. It's mental.
Tell me more, dude. Have you seen it in a video? I ask because I saw one once and thought I heard something weird like that, but figured I was just hearing things.
all fighter jets to that to some extent & to varying degrees of pitch i.e. some louder or quieter than others.
Alex Hendel yeah but never in the way the F-22 does. I’ve heard F-18’s, F-15’s, F-16’s and the like. Only the F-22 has that distinct sound
Push Back this is a great video with that noise. Super common but this the first time I’ve been able to find a video of it. th-cam.com/video/_PDswHe9y8Y/w-d-xo.html
I live on Langley and it wakes me up on my off days 🙄
When I saw the F-22 at Quonset RI a few years back, I couldn't believe the way this jet was being flown, it was the best flight demo I had ever seen, it was doing maneuvers that no other plane has ever done. God Bless our Pilot's.
I grew up in Michigan, effectively never seeing an Air Force base or AF jet before joining the AF when I turned 18 because I was so blown away and in love with jets. After boot and tech school (Army post called Aberdeen proving grounds) my first duty station was Nellis Air Force base. I’ll never forget a few weeks after reporting to the base was my first air show in 2006 and watching the F22 demo. I was absolutely blown away that it still leaves me speechless.
You are one gifted, accomplished and lucky man. Thank you for your service and God bless.
Thanks Josh, it’s always more fun to watch when you can understand and appreciate what all your doing there. 75kts. Amazing. So proud of you guys.
That is absolutely impressive on sharing how the performance is done and well done and thanks for coming to Singapore ;)
A Singaporean dude here😎👍
Awsome, can’t watch this enough. I love how you pay tribute to all who served and the legendary Bob Hoover, I had no idea that that maneuver was dedicated to him, great job. I just saw the F-22 demo on 09/11/21 at the NH PSM air show and it makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Thank you for your service and God Bless.
My favorite aircraft. Saw you tear apart the sky at Quonset point years ago. Still remember the magic of watching that routine and the sound of those F119’s letting loose. You guys own the sky. Thank you all , so proud of our service members. 🇺🇸
From Brazil here.. an Airline pilot perspective. Amazing F22 Raptor. Certainly a dream of any pilot. God bless USA. ⛪
Jair Bolsonaro is much better than Lula the Communist
@@farzana6676Absolutely True. Semper fi.
Bless y'all down there, our fellow brethren in Brazil. Love ur oranges. Stay Safe, Bee Well.
Shalom. Regards, N.Tx.
Detroit appreciates all our Brazilian cousins. You folks pilot some awesome aircraft. Your acrobatic teams are legendary. Keep 'em flying!
'God' is a delusion.
Thank you SO much for this! I've followed the Raptor since the early "YF" days, have seen them perform here in Anchorage, and have done a quite detailed 3D model of the aircraft for use in still images and animations. (Yeah... Fanatic.) The demo description will help me animate the demo accurately, and so I appreciate your first-hand descriptions. Excellent!
F-22 Nation just appeared on my feed, and I’m glad it did. Really enjoyed your talk through of the maneuvers. Got to see an F-22 demo flight last Oct. at Shepherd AFB. Man, what a performance. It was like watching something out of Star Wars. It looked like the Raptor was flying backwards during the tail slide. Thanks for your service and God bless all your brothers and sisters in arms. I know defense budgets and priorities are complicated, but I have to agree, we should have have more of these flying.
Fantastic video, great work Cabo and the rest of the F-22 demo team👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Well commented and well recorded - wonderfull to see the secret of maneurerability, the vortices springing of the wing and strake.
Loved this! I got a chance to see you guys a number of years back and it was awe inspiring. You can tell the jet is impressive when it never leaves the field of view in front of you. I got some awesome memories and pictures that day!
Makes me proud I spent 24 years AD and another 14 as a civilian in our AF... liked the way Josh so casually described the moves...
i hope they never retire the f22 like they did with the sr71. They should always keep atleast one for airshows. awesome video thanks
It's still too early to talk about the retirement of the F-22! I mean, they still keep a lot of older F-15 flying around and constantly upgrading them. So no worries for the 22s for now.
@@lennertsiu213 Yup, But they will eventually retire it when something better comes along sadly.
There will be better jet come along every 10- 15 yrs.
@@FoxWithTheAngels It'll probably be a long time before they can come up with anything that is a significant enough upgrade over the F-22 to warrant being a replacement. The F-22 was so expertly designed that it really doesnt have any major flaws or weaknesses in its intended role. Sure, some competitors may beat it in certain aspects, but the Raptor is still strong enough to hold its own and no one of those competitors can touch the Raptor overall.
And even if someone does match it, nobody else has the numbers. Having a jet that can beat a Raptor is great and all, but we have 187 or so of them. So unless they can produce numbers to match them, that one jet will have to shoot down all of those Raptors. Not likely.
To my knowledge, the Raptor's closet competitor is the SU-57. However, the Raptor is MUCH more stealthy (even the F-35 beats the SU-57 in radar cross section by a wide margin) and the SU-57 has been plagued by complications with production and judging by recent reports, the Russians are running out of money to keep it funded. In all likelyhood, the SU-57 will never have the numbers.
sgtchef hmm interesting statement there .chill man this thing is just getting started .
Always amazes me when I watch these maneuvers. God bless U guys 🙏
Your demonstration at AirVenture 2019 was superb. Hoping to see you in 2020 at Willow Run in Detroit. My mouth goes dry in envy while I try to remember to breathe.
Nice video Josh, tanks!
Fantastic explanation of the moves. Thank you for taking yor time to share this. 💗
It's a beautiful aircraft. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for sharing this video! Best aircraft, Air Force pride
All of the team that makes this happen make it look effortless, I know it’s not! Thank you and the entire team!! Take me and black me out... PLEASE! You all ROCK! Thank you for your service and extreme professionalism. F22 one of my favorites in our lethal arsenal.
outstanding - would love to see to guys come to Australia
thank you for your service!!!
Thank you so much Commander Gunderson!
That was absolutely awesome! Thank you!
Maj. Gunderson.. Loved the video tutorial .. Just watched your show at Ocean City MD Fathers day 06/19/2010 . AMAZING.. NO WORDS..
Absolutely awesome! Glad to live in this great country knowing we have the best of the best pilots and the best planes in this world. God bless America, God bless you and your family and thank you for sharing a little of that F-22 Raptor. My personal favorite plane hands down. Thank you!!!
Thank you…terrific report!
Nice! Thanks for your service!
What an absolutely amazing and beautiful machine, that definitely kicks ass and takes names!!!
Thank you for your service ❤️
#Respect #Salute
I must be getting old.....Major Gunderson looks like my paperboy.
Great video. Yes I'm an old fan boy. I used to play Nova Logic F22 on my PC. Good times. You're doing it for real, awesome! Thanks for the video.
Very nice insight into what the F-22 can do. I can only imagine the awesomeness of the classified manoeuvres
It's known the F-22 can do maneuvers that would outright kill the pilot inside it. Just imagine that.
It makes you proud to be an American and thanks for giving Bob Hoover props.....that being said this plane can do things that violate every known rule if physics and aerodynamics and that is the coolest thing ever
Enjoyed your debrief!
I've always wondered if the pedal turn "falling leaf" is useful in normal combat? That being said, this jet and it's teams are AMAZING! You are one lucky guy to be flying the best fighter jet in the world. Thank you for posting this!
Awesome fighter jet F-22! Greetings from the Philippines, Sir..
I have no words. Spot on.
Wow...what did he say...full on intense young man...human computer...hats off son👍
Got to see him perform at Miramar this last September, it was awesome to see.
Say it like Buzz Light Year, “this is not flying, it is falling with style!” 😉
Woody: "pfft he just didn't lose maneuverability post stall"
Damn your just a baby flying that monster . Kidding sort of 😂 Man so impressive getting to where you are at. Just being accepted to the Raptor team is cool enough but then you get on the Demo Team? Unreal Congratulations kid you’ve done your country and your parents proud.
Just saw the F-22 at Selfridge Field ANG this July. It's an amazing aircraft and an amazing show and display. In 1945 during WW2 in the AAC my father came back from Italy and was waiting for his orders to go to the Pacific Theater at Wright Field, Ohio. While he was stationed there, he took part in disassembling and helped to reverse engineer captured German jet aircraft. They worked on making cut-away views on one of the jets in the machine shop there. He would've been proud to see the F-22. I miss him every day. He was my hero.
I loved it when you guys came to elmendorf afb
Thank you for Sharing Major. Aim High US Air Force.
This makes me so happy.
I as in Singapore at the time of this airshow. My perspective was from Changi Naval Base. The F22 team put on a great show!
Amazing stuff! I hope one day you guys will visit the Dutch airforce air show, I'd love to see that beast in action! (next air show will be in ~June 2021, this is a subtle hint :p )
Bless You Maj. That Raptor is so Badd...remembering the first time this jet
flew over it's first N.Tx. air show. Stay Safe, Bee Well, thank you for this
great demo explanation. Shalom to all those current and past for serving.
Regards, Doug
One Amazing aircraft
Wonderful narration following the F-22 thru its various maneuvers. You must be very proud, humble, but proud. lol
Best wishes for a fulfilling career in our air force. May G-d keep his protecting hand on you and your fellow pilots.
Yesterday I just saw the F22 Demonstration team at my local air show commanded by Samuel RaZZ Larson and oh my goodness! It doesn't look real when it's going vertical. And I get to see it again at Oshkosh!
Excellent narrative
By far......the baddest plane on the planet!! Seeing the Raptor in action makes me extremely proud to be an American!! He's got in my opinion the BEST job in the military or best job period. F-22 will never be topped......
Very nice, I flew A6s in the USMC. That plane looks like it loves to fly. Of course I could kick your butt in some ACM. A6 has a one magic turn...then we turn into a grape. Thanks for the video. The Great Gandini
Nice vid!
Thank you for what you do for the USA. Enjoyed the commentary.

That was awesome!
Great description. Now on to the next G6 super performance fighter.
I am so damn disappointed I still have yet to see an F22 demo. I almost saw it in 2008 or so but the show became mostly cancelled for financial reasons and they left. I just saw the F35 at Nellis this year do a demo and frankly that plane was pretty damn impressive for a single engine non-thrust vectored aircraft. I expected it to be a bit more compact like an F16, in person, but it's a beast of an aircraft. Flight control systems on F35 seem to be mega capable of making it do abnormal things. Would love to see an F22 and F35 combo demo...that'd be sick.
That last one would be so fun
Maj. Josh Gunderson appears not only to be an exceptional pilot, but an exceptional orator.. This man is going to continue to go FAR!!! Thanks for sharing all of this (and other videos), Maj. Gunderson.. #f22centralcasting
What an amazing machine
I´ve attended several F22 demos, and I have never seen it breaking the sound barrier in those high speed passes, I mean It would be awesome to see that from the mighty F22!!
They can’t as it will damage civilian property
Trevor and Trevina’s Gaming Channel Trevor Hong they absolutely can! If the demo is performed at an airport but the don’t do it
Awesome video, thanks to everyone on the various Demo Team(s)!! One note, why in the hell would anyone give this a thumbs down? SMDH.
Got to see one at the Kalamazoo airshow back in 2017?. Was loud and awesome lol. It did all these maneuvers :)
I hope someday in near future I'm gonna see F-22 Demo Team putting a show in my country! With love, peace and respect, from Urmia City, Iran!
The only show you're gonna get will be when they are dropping bombs on your country😂 it's just a joke, relax✌️
DigitalAwareness sure, we’ll make sure the only entertainment you will get is the screaming sound of US sinking sailors or US troops inside bunker crying pinned down relax just a joke 🤙🏻
@@DigitalAwareness Now you might not believe it, but I meant exactly the same thing as most people are fed up with this corrupt, terrorist regime!
Ted, most Americans want to see good relations with Iran. Iran is a beautiful country with tons of potential and good people. I hope to see Iran become a free and peaceful country again.
Get rid of the mullahs and they'll be there.
Amazing!
Vectored thrust!! Yeah!
As impressive as it's maneuvering capabilities are, you are only seeing a fraction of what the plane can actually do.
From what I recall when I was in, actual top speed, distance/range and a number of other functions are still considered classified.
That's just the way it should be. haha
I can see why you would hope that. But its a common misconception. You dont classify your advantages - that just reduces the weapons deterrence. You classify the flaws so that they cannot be exploited.
@@nicholasuloth6530 top speeds are usually classified in the military, thats definitely the case for us warships.
The Raptor's top speed isn't exactly a mystery...it's not faster than the F-14 or F-15, but I think it accelerates harder. I'm pretty certain it doesn't go past Mach 2.
To those doubting my post, just remember that as of now, the F22 is banned by federal law from being exported in order to protect its stealth technology and classified features. Top speed, range and certain functions/features of the jet are either a rough estimate or omitted completely.
The slow "conventional" maneuvers are nice. Oh how I'd love to see the fun stuff, I'd bet I'd get a charge out of that.
ik most might not like this, but the F-22's 'Cobra' maneuver is actually called a Raptor Pounce.
So fascinating how people came up w the idea to build these flying machines. Marvels me to this day. Ant machine that flies actually marvels me
So amazing kid!!!!!! wish i could do that !!!! Go USA FIGHTER PILOT!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT AND THE TALENT!! Regards, Rene Briones, Sarasota, Florida
CABO & LOCO,,,your my inspiration as I dream to become a F-22 FIGHTER PILOT,,
Good luck with that bro, youre gonna need it. And good connections too.
@@rykehuss3435 Hard work, determination, and a humble attitude. "Good connections" have little to do with it.
dyce189 If you say so
@@rykehuss3435 I know so.
Did you see the Smirk on the Major's face describing that last maneuver? Throttle-back...he smiled because inside he is wanting to "get crazy" with the F-22 Raptor's power. Lol...The Major loves the raw power and capabilities of the F-22.
Major....stay in Service and make General. God bless you Sir and the men / women who you Command. HOOAH!
That would be tough to keep it from going supersonic towards the end of the show when the tanks are almost empty and you're busy with thirty different things. Impressive!
Thank you for serving Cabo
V/R thank you
I'm sooooo jealous!!
On the off chance that you guys see this, were you guys doing the F-22 demo at the Alliance airshow in Fort Worth, Texas this past year? It was the first time my s/o went been to an air show and he absolutely loved it.
F22 Raptor One Live !!!
Who needs maneuverability (like the Sukhois) if you can just pop them out of the sky without them knowing you're in there airspace. This shit has more info than the AWACS.
No, they still need, or at least prefer having, the AWACS.
Can't compare the F-22 and the operational doctrine with the no guns F-4.
@@KjetilBalstad Ofcourse, it's much better to have AWACS around, but what I'm saying is that, compared to any other fighter they can still dominate the sky without those. Good day
@reverse thrust I thought they didnt put guns on it cause it had misslea
I remember when the the F35 was going to be a better dog-fighter than all existing aircraft. Then she became fat, middle aged and out of touch, Now all you hear is how slow and ugly is beautiful too.
@@nicholasuloth6530 Only you are wrong, and for some reason you and other people that are wrong keep saying this, even if you're wrong.
I don't get why? Perhaps it's the shape, ppl have an illusion of what a jet should look like, perhaps you've seen some Russian air show fighters and decided that's how a fighter should look like?
Well, how about listening to the actual pilots, like the Norwegian F-35 pilot "Dolby" .
nettsteder.regjeringen.no/kampfly/fagprat/f-35-i-naerkamp-hva-har-jeg-laert-sa-langt-the-f-35-in-a-dogfight-what-have-i-learned-so-far/
And mind you, that was under early development, while it was limited and still lacked several features, hardware and software upgrades.
And, this is traditional flying, in actual combat the F-35 can track a, in reality, unlimited number of enemies simultaneously, and engage several at the same time, at any direction. The pilot can even turn in his seat, see through his own aircraft at an trailing enemy, fire a missile that will flip 180 degree after launch and hit the enemy behind him.
20:1 Kill death ratio at Red Flag, also before the resent upgrades speaks for it self.
