Here is a video compilation from last saturday 11-10-07 - please excuse the camera shake - as I was very tired when they launched these aircraft(which I had waited all day for) - but i tried my best.
The F-22 is AWESOME - the way that thing turns is sooo diferent - it is amazing.
I greatly enjoyed the F-4 Phantom - what a hot jet...and the Heritage flight was very good - though I blew the 4 split when they flew over....
The F-117 makes a sneak appearance at the end - but we were losing light fast. I am not certain, but during the day(AM) all flying seemed to stop for awhile - so I feel things were delayed - but of course the T-Birds did their usual show stalling tactics - which pushed this back a bit - it was almost dark when it was done -
The 100,000 plus people made for diffucult filming when the idiots of the crowd would come up and expect a 'front row' seat, when we had been staked out all day waiting - so Nellis AFB has to work on getting more TALLER bleachers in for that 2 day show......

Quoting Blackbird (Reply 2): Great to see that the F-22 can do a lot of the things the Sukhoi 30 can.
It could do anything the SU-30 can and with total control...the thing is that most of what the Russian types perform at airshows are more stunts than anything useful in combat.

What did that video show, what the SU could not and what could be relevant to combat? Air shows are far too slow in general to show anything relevant to actual areal combat.

Not sure if this is a question or not but I'll just say that any good airshow demonstration would clearly show combat relevant things. Maybe you just havn't seen a decent demo yet...

Nooooooo way was that my kid. My son is 23yrs old and has MANNERS - It was like that all day - everytime the 'good' jet's showed up to fly, everybody with an 8yr old(or more) would show up by me and crowd the fence like they were there all day - and ruin my video's by screaming and talking through the whole flight,,,then leave..!!!
Grrrrrrrr
This was such a large crowd, i was hoping for better - but yeah, I know to expect it. Nellis needs to put grand stands in, but set them back just a but - to not block the view - like Salinas does - but the way Moffett NAS used to do it and charge $3.00 to get in the bleachers back in the '80's. I used to be 1st in at Moffett NAS and 1st to the top row at 9am,,and wait all day -
Maybe I should write Nellis a letter and ask them to consider it....
Thanks to everybody for the comments - there has been about 50 downloads off my googlevideo page - which is fine,,enjoy the video.!!
