Uhhh...your C-5 is a C-17.

Otherwise nice! The F-22 looks like a Photoshop/CGI plane. Amazing an actual airplane can be that smooth.

Flying next to them in route formation with an Eagle, you can't help but notice how many little protrusions the F-15 has....weapons rack stuff, UHF attennas, fule vents, etc etc.

The Raptor....nada. Sllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeek.

I have flown a few plylon-less jets out of the paint show with very few things hanging, and on a cold day some of them (especially with 229s) could go super in mil. That raptor is (I think) lighter, definately cleaner, and definately has more power. I'm sure the slow flight to max speed exercise in the thing is eye opening..
