To me, it's almost as visually sensual as a LearJet and as deadly efficient and menacing in appearance as a Great White. But to this old Lear driver I never cease to wonder, with an 'advertised' nearly 600 KM combat range clean, where the hell do they hide the fuel?

For the back of the bus crowd, ever carry a 'full' 5 gallon gas can?

The 600 should read NM, all these years, and still no edit function.

I like the F-22, but the video had so much special effects and manipulation that it actually detracted from the effectiveness of the presentation. The manoeuvres looked neither insane nor spectacular.

concur. I would rather see a little slow motion and mostly real-time footage. But I didn't mind watching it anyway :-)

At least we're getting SOMETHING for the tens of billions that have gone into this plane.
