FJR or F22?

There's a lot of guys here going, "Fat guy? What fat guy?"

I've seen them at airshows as well. Absolutely incredible machines. The maneveurs these pilots can do, abso-freakin-lutly AMAZING! I'm sure glad those F22s and pilots are on our side.

FJR1300--cost $13,500. F22 Raptor--cost $316,000,000 (destination and assembley charges may be extra but no tax!)

I'm pretty sure that the FJR is still faster than the F22, but only in the twistys....

I dunno...that F22 was BUILT for twisties. It IS an air superiority fighter. The tighter turning, handling jet wins. The loser goes home...if they can find his parachute.

Now in the olden days...the F-105...not built for twisties.

Yeah, by Navy standards I'm overweight. Sorry, doesn't really have anything to do with civilian life I suppose.

Eeeeesh, lockheed offered me a job the same day that bell called me up. I'm pretty sure that lockheed wouldn't let me ride my skoot into the "factory".

Lockheed rocks & yes, Virginia, the Skunk Works is alive and well. Keep looking up.

I drove my Evo into one of the hangers to let the mass properties folks teach a vertical CG weights class with it (I wanted the weights & CG location so I can do suspension setup for autocrossing). Weren't no F-22s in there though. Just some other "things".
