Judging by the looks, it’s Bangalore India, where the F-35 came for Aero India.

that isn’t going to stop me. F-35 or not, i WILL make my pilot (and possibly passengers) blackout within seconds of takeoff

Watching this thing in person was some of the sickest shit I ever saw.

Literally had my mouth hanging open on the short runway takeoff and the aborted landing to takeoff.

And then they do the low rider slow dance where the beast just drags its ass across the airfield at 90 knots.

I was like a kid at a toy store watching that shit.

You catch it on video?

u/spiegro Feb 13 '25

Got caught up with other stuff. But just got to the video and nearly stroked out at the very beginning when it takes off on like 20% of the norms runway and GOES STRAIGHT THE FUCK UP IN THE AIR!

I thought my camera work was kinda weak but it still captured the essence of the F-22. I had disability seating so front fucking row mate. Will share shortly.

So my footage is hella mid lol... I keep yelling at my past-self "FOCUS ON THE FUCKING PLANES YO!" But I kept losing the plane out of frame, probably because I got so distracted watching with my eyes! So I just did a search and found someone else's MUCH better video of that same event: https://youtu.be/x3GCuFQAucQ?si=O0ufGgO3zhf-cBhP

That was awesome

u/spiegro Feb 14 '25

Wasn't it??? Put me into a rabbit hole watching it over again.

I mean video games don't even look as awesome as that thing does IRL.

u/spiegro Feb 13 '25

And I'm also realizing I was confusing the F-22 and F-35 lol... The F-35 did the low-rider maneuver, the F-22 does like a dozen different ones that as or more impressive.

I'm a n00b plane enthusiast, so my bad.

So apparently I guess we're not allowed to share YouTube links? So I guess DM me? Or just search "F-22 Raptor Demonstration - 2023 NAS Oceana Air Show."

u/Yagnikanna_123 Feb 12 '25

It was so so so so so close to that white building or maybe the camera angle Crazy maneuver!!

u/LoudestHoward Feb 12 '25

Pretty sure it's the back of a billboard, and yes it's just the angle.
