Soooooo an F-22 Raptor just got its entire product line's first confirmed air-to-air kill... against that Chinese weather balloon the news was freaking out about

The F-22 Raptor program began in the early 90s and has cost a total of, according to one source, $32.4 billion dollars. It has been by most metrics a complete failure which has failed to produce a viable multirole air superiority fighter. It has - by the act of replacing certain obsolete aircraft but then being cancelled after the aircraft it replaced were retired - punched holes in the USAF's lineup that the F-35, its successor, cannot fill. It also has the dubious distinction of its production process being so monstrously fucked that it would, at this point, cost less money to invent a new aircraft than to restart F-22 production.

Until today, it had zero confirmed kills. It now has one - an unarmed, unmanned balloon.

In a very real way, the United States just paid $32.4 billion to pop a balloon.

Soaring to New Heights: Mastering the F22 Raptor Jet Fighter

In the world of aviation, few achievements rival the mastery of piloting the F22 Raptor jet fighter. This marvel of engineering demands not only technical expertise but also a deep understanding of its capabilities and the environment in which it operates. So, how does one become the best on the F22 Raptor? Let's explore some key steps:

Understanding the Machine: The first step to mastery is to intimately understand the F22 Raptor. Study its aerodynamics, systems, and capabilities. Knowing your aircraft inside out is crucial for making split-second decisions in the air.

Technical Proficiency: Develop a high level of technical proficiency in handling the aircraft. This includes mastering maneuvers, understanding avionics systems, and proficiency in navigation and communication protocols.

Physical Fitness: Flying the F22 Raptor requires peak physical fitness. Pilots undergo rigorous training to endure the high G-forces and demanding conditions of aerial combat. Regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle are essential for maintaining optimal performance.

Continuous Training: Mastery is a journey, not a destination. Stay committed to continuous training and improvement. Regular simulation exercises, mock dogfights, and real-flight scenarios help sharpen your skills and keep you prepared for any situation.

Adaptability: The ability to adapt to changing circumstances is vital in aerial combat. Develop quick decision-making skills and learn to anticipate your opponent's moves. Flexibility and adaptability can often be the difference between victory and defeat.

Mental Resilience: Flying a fighter jet is mentally demanding. Develop mental resilience to stay calm under pressure, manage stress effectively, and maintain focus during intense combat situations.

Teamwork: While flying solo missions showcases individual skill, successful missions often require effective teamwork. Learn to communicate efficiently with your wingmen, coordinate tactics, and support each other in the air.

Risk Management: Flying a high-performance aircraft like the F22 Raptor comes with inherent risks. Learn to assess risks accurately, prioritize safety, and make informed decisions to mitigate potential hazards.

Passion and Dedication: Above all, be passionate and dedicated to your craft. The journey to mastering the F22 Raptor requires unwavering dedication, relentless pursuit of excellence, and a love for the thrill of flight.

Humility: Finally, remember that even the best pilots are always learning. Stay humble, seek feedback, and never stop striving to improve.

Becoming the best on the F22 Raptor is a lofty goal that requires commitment, discipline, and perseverance. By following these steps and embracing the challenges along the way, you can soar to new heights and achieve mastery in the world of aerial combat.

The F-22 Raptor engaging its cloaking device! It doesn't get any better than the Raptor, vapor, and afterburners! Florida may be humid, but that's a recipe for awesome vapor.
