F-22 Raptors in Action

The F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team flies the advanced stealth aircraft at air shows around the globe, and its demonstrations include the crowd-pleasing power loop, split and tailslide, as well as high-speed passes and dedication passes—maneuvers that are based on those designed for combat operations but are performed at much lower altitudes that most pilots are certified to fly.



The aerobatic display team has flown the F-22 since 2007, when the Air Force approved the aircraft for demonstration, and this replaced the Air Combat Command's F-15C demonstration team. The team participated in its debut air show at Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB) in March 2007, and since that time has performed in more than 250 demonstrations across the world.

An official in charge says nearly one in seven of the Air Force’s F35s can’t fly at all, with some planes awaiting engines that need to be refurbished sooner than anticipated. For starters, COVID 19 has slowed down the international supply chain, on which the global F35 program relies heavily for everything from parts fabrication to shipping. The F35’s engine also needs more time in maintenance than originally anticipated. The engines are developing heat-related cracks in the fan blades, resulting in the blades being changed out sooner. Lockheed Martin have had to find alternate sources for the parts, and they expect to straighten out the problem by 2022. But if they don’t, some experts think the Air Force could see 20 percent of its F35 fleet grounded by 2025
