Raptor Flight Control Check BOUNCES the Jet?

The F-22 Raptor is arguably The Beast, the best fighter in the world, and it’s decades old. The car Force is trying to retire them. Not so fast… The Crew Chiefs were doing an engine run on the Raptor, headed home to Alaska after going through Depot Maintenance at Hill AFB. Listening to the start-up was cool. Watching the Crew Chiefs run around the jet was epic. I had no idea how BIG the stabilizers were on the Raptor! When the Crew Chief performed the flight control check, I noticed the jet's nose bouncing up and down, which I had never seen before! #aviation #avgeek #military #airforce #army #navy #usmc #pilot #pilotlife #flight #flying #fly #aircraft #airplane #plane #jet #airport #photo #photography #video #videoviral #viralvideos #lessonsfromthecockpit #podcast #show
