OSHKOSH 2008: Raptor's agility rules

Although Lockheed Martin’s F-22 Raptor has thrilled the Oshkosh crowds before, even if you’re an aficionado you should not miss today’s display.  The highlights are sure to be several high angle of attack, low-speed manoeuvres; a power loop; and a non-conformal loop, showcasing several tactical manoeuvres “familiar to any Raptor pilot” as the blurb puts it.

As well as the agile Raptor, be prepared to marvel at the Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey military tilt-rotor’s display too.
