I don't know if you have ever been around these "birds" but the Raptor is a very powerful aircraft. As you witness its awesome power climbing straight up from a takeoff you also feel the force of its power through shock waves striking your body. The only thing this image is missing is the sight of fire licking from the engines. I worked for Pratt & Whitney after my years in the Air Force and feel a great deal of pride in watching this bird perform. #5720705
