      True. We saw an F-22 Raptor at an air show a few years ago, and it was mind-blowing. I didn’t know that a jet could do the things it was doing. I didn’t even know it was possible according to the laws of physics. The thing flies like a UFO, flying saucer.

        The F-35 is a result of a UFO on the American diet. But it can do pushups!

          i’m fortunate enough to have seen one, as well as numerous other historical planes. The dayton air museum has an f22, the streak eagle, and quite a number of other historically relevant planes in it’s collection as well. Incredible place, it’s in ohio, but other than that, its great.

          You can spend literal days just wandering through that place looking at shit from ww1 to the cold war, and even space travel.

              The Udvar-Hazy air and space museum annex near Dulles is actually the best part of that museum. Check it out!

              i can’t say much about that one, but dayton air museum if you’re ever around the midwest area is honestly one of the best places you can go. Historically it was a pretty strategically important location so it’s had a lot of presence in the past. And it’s pretty big as a result.

              although if i had to guess, that museum is also pretty good as well.
