Default Sheppard AFB Air Show

I am here TDY, just saw the F-22 do it's practice maneuvers. My GOD! What an awesome aircraft! Anyone on LS1Tech going to be at the show tomorrow? There was a NBM Firebird on a transport trailer who had is alarm set off when the F-22 did a flyby!

Yea they had the 22 down here in New Orleans for our last air show for awhile. All I have to say is DAM that jet is scray. It broke all of the rules of flight, lol. Got some good pics too, they parked on our ramp. So all of the civilians never got as close a we got to it. Talked to the crew and learned alot about that jet. Felt as if I was out of a job,

The 22 is a bad *** plane. You'll have a good time watching the crazy stuff it can do. It looks like its going to fall out of the sky but it never does.lol

I was at the show and the practice show/BBQ. Wasn't the first time I've seen the Raptor, but it's still amazing.

Got to see the Raptor at last years Shady J show...bitch was trippin me out. As of a few months ago I was a B1 Bomber crewdawg so I know planes and was just watching her fly around doing all kinds of insane maneuvers. lol to Sheppard...that place has changed a crap load. Went to 7 level there about two years ago and it was WAY different when I was there in 2000 for tech.

yeah i thought the show was pretty gay....... the only cool thing the 22 did was show its armorment bay that was it....... compared to the other planes the didnt let do a display....... maybe cause it does the same **** at every airshow..... the b-2 flyby was even worse......
