Air and Space and LtCol Shower need to check their facts about "operational thrust vectoring aircraft". The Marine Corps has had "operational thrust vectoring aircraft" since the late 60"s. The AV-8A, the AV-8C and the AV-8B which is still operating in Afganistan and Iraq as we speak. Granted it is not a fighter and its thrust vectoring system is not automatic like the F-22 but make no mistake it is a thrust vectoring aircraft that can do some things the F-22 can't do; hover, vertical land/takeoff, etc. I was the Commanding Officer of one of the squadrons at MCAS Cherry Point, NC Semper Fi

I have seen a video taken by some U.S. Agency and I believe it to be unclassified. The things described in this story were shown. This really is an incredible aircraft. I wish the video had been found and included with this story so you could really see how incredible it is.

How fast could the F-22 make it from Alaska to New York and could it do it one one tank of fuel? Just an office bet. Thanks.
