Both chewing gum and yawning actually help “pop” your ears to equalize air pressure.

He’s probably chewing gum to help keep his ears from popping is my guess.

January 8th, 2009 at 7:21 pm

The Demos have stopped, yet certain pilots from certain F/22 fighter wings will attend air shows as a guest to fly, not as a demo.
The Raptor has proved it’s glory… No more showing off, but will stiil show off at air shows around the world.

Yes he is not the demo pilot anymore, not sure who is replacing him.

If I’m correct (and odds are I’m not) I take it that Major Moga isn’t the F-22 demo pilot anymore. Who is replacing him?

@145slap789, i said mock engagement cos we have nothing to fight against the U.S, so if in the near future we have joint exercises or when im on a deputation course at nellis AFB, in the US next year,for training for newly bought 18 f-16cs by pakistan air force. I’ll put up a challenge.
M air force, the usaf and royal air force are the best the world.

q7guy, I can get a radar lock in a mock engagement on the F-22?
Hopefully, one day you wont have a real engagement to try and lock on to it… Cos you prolly get get bent. Mock engagement lol!

My favorite maneuvers are
The Cuban Eight
Vertical Loop
Inverted Loop
Clover Leaf
Aileron Rolls
Four Point Roll
SLow-Pass
wingover.
But nothing beats going vertical after launch.

I fly the viper in Pakistan Air Force, and i have logged in 700hrs in it.I won the best pilot trophy at PAF Academy. i have participated n numerous exersises in and outside pakistan.
The F-22 maybe a technological marvel, but i can get a radar lock on it, in a mock enagement.
I have sustained 9′gs during the famed max performance turn, with full after burn, at 680knots. plus in the viper all pilots including me enjoy 360 degree all round visibility. i love the seat angle.

Sorry to see Max move onm but I’m sure he’s glad to be getting back to real flying, firing weapons, etc.
A great guy with an amazing sense of hs own airplane. He doesn’t so much fly it as WEAR it.

I just can’t stop watching this. That tight turn was fricking awesome. Makes you wonder what they can’t show us.
February 2nd, 2009 at 4:03 am
fair comment…but we all still got to respect the commitment of all armed forces…even if some of the drill looks abit odd…they are all fighting for the same cause…except maybe the russians
February 2nd, 2009 at 6:26 am
Our drill is just as good as theirs.
February 5th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
i agree… so far the chinese J-XX isn’t in production yet but it looks promising
February 6th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
WOW…what…a…WILD…turn…AWESOME!!!!!!
February 9th, 2009 at 3:35 am
LOL dam i never know that F 22 can do a turn on a time haha.
February 11th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
his salutes are like robotics…i’m from the UK so meh…what do i know
February 11th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Bet the SU-47 can’t do that tight of a turn. Eerrr.. why am I wasting my time to even post that? Anyway…
The Raptor, nothing comes close to it, nothing
