F-22 Raptor Airshow Demo / California Capital Airshow 2009

The F-22 Raptor flight demonstration at the California Capital Airshow was superb. Great vapor shots enhance the incredibly tight maneuvers. Maj. David "Zeke" Skalicky is the Air Combat Command demo pilot.

C-133A Cargomaster cargo bay looking forward from the aft ramp. Note the airframe structure that connects the main landing gear to the wing box. These oversize ribs transmit the load from the main gear to the wing box- the strongest part of the airframe. A spare Pratt & Whitney T34-P-9W is always a nice thing to carry around!
