The F-22 is no dog either...... I was parked at the north end of RWY 17 at Avalon Airport on their arrival for the airshow when they slammed their twin Pratt & Whitney F119 PW100 engines in full afterburner..... the rest is friggin history......only the B-1 with their 4x GE F101 afterbrurning turbofans came close....... and the FA/18F Superhornet with their twin F414's... WOW just put everything else to bed including the F-16's and F/18's...
