Truly a weapon to be reckoned with. Here's What You Need to Remember: The F-22 jet is America’s leading fifth-generation stealth air superiority fighter, introduced in 2005 as a replacement to both the F-15 and F-16 Cold War-era aircraft. Earlier this month, the F-22 Raptor demonstration team marked Veteran’s Day with a breathtaking promotional video. Coming in at just under three minutes long, the video opens with a slick reel of Maj. Joshua “Cabo” Gunderson getting ready for take-off. The video sets a new standard for production value in the military hardware domain, capturing the F-22 in crisp detail and at numerous angles, all in silky-smooth slow motion. Gunderson enters a steep climb after taking off and can be seen performing additional maneuvers throughout the video.
