Arctic Thunder.

The F-22 is enjoying the spotlight lately as the only functional fifth-generation fighter we have in our arsenal. While other new-age jets struggle to get off the ground the F-22 is flying circles around them. At the Arctic Thunder Air Show in Alaska, fans braved the freezing temperatures to see the F-22 in action.

The enthusiastic staff at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richards gave a spectacular welcome to the F-22 as it bolts right into a vertical take-off. Flying through the clouds with a supersonic roar, leaving double vapor trails as it passes.
