Amazing how a Raptor and the WWII ear planes can stay in formation together. The prop jobs must be all out and the F22 on the verge of a stall.

Thks - inspiring video. I caught the F-22,Mustang,F-15 Eagle Heritage flight at the Mather Airshow held here a few months back.

I was surprised at how small the Mustang was compared to the jet fighters!!

Goosebumps, nothin’ but goosebumps.

I noticed they got in a plug for more funding by comparing the 15,000 Mustangs to the present procurement of 218 Raptors. It tells of the amazing changes in the world, the awesome production capability of America in WWII, the incredible capability of the Raptor, but alas, the cost factor, too. I only hope they can figure out a way to acquire more of them.

One thing that fires the imagination is to consider how the 218 Raptors compare in dealing with the potential threat scenarios today with the 15,000 Mustangs and what they had to achieve back then.
