F-22 ??

Hi all, just noticed on the F-22 schedule that a gap in the display dates exists over the RIAT weekend maybe wishful thinking but you never know.

^ Exaggeration
Flying prevails whenever a man and his airplane are put to a test of maximum performance.

Can't see it myself as much as I would absolutely love to see it again. One of the best things I ever seen display at riat.

Was lucky enough to see it when it came over and did Farnborough and RIAT.
Was driving home from work, summers day, roof down, heard an almight roar, looked up, F22 flanked by a pair of F15's... couldn't believe my luck.
Was driving to Farnborough anyway, so caught the end of the display.

I saw it at RIAT on the Friday between the downpours that led it the events cancellation.

Spectacular would be an understatement.
