F-22 Snapshots

Photos and videos that make good references for our F-22 simulation …

Wingtip vortices, rudder vortices, aileron vortices, flaperon vortices:

Another version of the new coating spotted over Nellis:

Just three days ago, the coating looked more chrome-like:

Good video of the old version:

A very dusty Raptor … seems like the upside is irrelevant for stealth, or they wait for the new coating anyway.

F-22 after crash near Eglin AFB on 2020-05-16.
The crash was caused by a flight control system malfunction. A procedure was not properly followed while washing the plane. The pilot ejected safely after deciding to abandon the plane.

Old stock footage of weapon tests. Very useful reference for TFXplorer’s cannon/trail API!

All the pics I post are Mine takin by me all over America

Thanks for posting! Those indoor shots are from that museum at Wright-Patterson I guess. That's somewhere I'd love to go, although I'd probably be more interested in their XB70...the awesomest aircraft ever made.

[WeaselOne]

I been there 4 times got hundreds of pics from there includinf xb 70

[Krishty]

Wow, these are amazing! I heard the that the F-22’s geometry and coating look drastically different depending on point of view and weather, something I’d love to see in person. It’s like this color difference between your indoor and outdoor shots, I suppose!

That Boeing prototype above the F-22 is insane; is it the X-36?

[WeaselOne]

I think so it is a prototype whatever it designation
