I watched a video of a F22 Raptor performing a vertical climb right after takeoff tonight, and I felt inspired  Grin Here are a few shots, same spot just different angles, of a RAF Raptor over Guernsey. Enjoy!

Great shots, Pierre Cool
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Impressive climb !
I bought the IRIS F-22 some days ago, but it has been a small dissappointment honnestly. But of course, nothing realistic could be expected from such a top-secret plane. I simply think it doesn't desserve the same brand as the A-10, which is far superior in terms of quality.
