F22 parked in front of museum of flight going to be here over the weekend.
This is kind of off topic, but I know there are many nerds who like beautiful pieces of engineering here. There's an F22 parked in front of the museum of flight and it's supposed to be here over the weekend. If you're driving past it on I-5, definitely stop to go see it. It's quite awesome. Hell I would drive there just to go see it.

Thanks for the post, I'll try to stop on by. Do you know if they have a flight schedule?

I heard once that it takes 4hrs of maintenance for every 1hr of flight to maintain an F-22... still, it's kind of a SR-71 moment in my mind as far as the engineering behind it goes.

That's not that unusual.
The Raptor actually takes less than a lot of other aircraft.

Rumors of my demise were greatly exaggerated.

Also, whatever happened to Leon's photoshoot this weekend?

Best shots I could take from behind the fence since I'm not Solid Snake.

I read somewhere that it has the radar signature of a metal sphere the size of a marble.

That's such an awesome plane! I want to see the vector thrust system in action...Being able to turn so fast it can kill a person instantly deserves some recognition.
