The F-22 Raptor is the most lethal fighter jet ever built. Capable of flying over twice the speed of sound at altitudes upwards of 60,000 feet, there's a reason the Raptor is the most feared aircraft in the world. Come along with me as I visit the Hawaii Air National Guard to learn what makes the F-22 Raptor the true king of the sky.

For those interested in becoming an Air Force pilot, and even flying the F-22 yourself, one of the best routes you can take is to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy. It's a 4-year tuition free university that graduates the most amount of pilots every year. I'm so excited to announce the release of my online course called The Air Force Academy Blueprint! I cover everything you need to do to prepare, apply, and survive the Air Force Academy. You'll have access to over 60+ video lessons, downloadable resources and checklists, access to a private community of other applicants, and so much more.

Getting to fly F-22 out of Hawaii sounds like one of the best jobs in the military

@HaXxanParhar 1 year ago

Man got the Ryan Reynolds himself for the role of the Pilot

Living in Hawaii and flying F-22's for a job must feel like a dream come true after a lifetime of hard work.

F-22 3-0 balloon

@theboxsitter 3 years ago

It's insane how the F22 has never been shot down in combat. Not even against that balloon (the one time it was in combat)

As a man that has fixed jet engines and have been around airplanes all my life, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate all your efforts in educating us. You are such a great guy, Sam. Please keep it up. Please keep us informed.

The fact that she was first flown in '97, finally introduced in 2005, is absolutely crazy. The fact that the F35 looks similar, is just a testament to how advanced she was/is. Obviously the f-35 has lots more tech than it would appear.

@AndreB23 3 years ago (edited)

Gotta admit, the F-22 is legitimately a technical marvel. Even more crazy when you realize we don't even know the jet's full capabilities. If this thing had HMDS and the relatively simpler upgradability and maintenance of the F-35, it'd probably be damn-near unstoppable for the remainder of its life-span. Makes me wonder how stupid-strong and advanced the NGAD is going to be, once that jet is let loose.

My #1 requested video, so here it is! Let me know what you think of the mighty F-22 Raptor. 🙌🏼

@arvind8302 1 year ago

8:20 the stabs are the size of an f16's wing, that is crazy!

I grew up in Honolulu, so it was very cool to see the squadron who would fly over my school every day featured like this! Thank you for the detailed video, Sam!❤

2:50 “Loco” Lopez was the F-22 Demo Team pilot during the 2018-2019 airshow seasons. I watched one of his performances at St. Louis, 2019. Glad to see he’s still flying.

Cool to see Ryan Reynolds @ 5:15 in the USAF.

I had my first encounter with the Raptor at a very unexpected place. My family had gone to a dolphin show at an aquarium in Destin, Florida. While everyone was amazed at the dolphin, my eyes were towards the sky as two F-22’s flew over, delivering a deafening roar over the aquarium
