    Default Raptor in CO?!

    Someone confirm please? I am seeing 2 F-22 raptors in the South Metro sky.

    Dunno about South Metro, but I've seen 'em around The Springs recently.

    We see them often in Colorado Springs, fun to watch at the AF games, they come in low, kick in the AB and climb 5k ft under full power straight up. Leaves everyone shaking and quiet for a minute. Good stuff.

    Down here we have everything.

    This past weekend was an air show and they had Raptos, Hornets, Warthogs, and even old biplanes, etc. It was neat. I didn't even have to go as I could sit on my front porch and watch them through the binocs.

    Nah, no raptors are assigned to specifically Buckley Airbase... otherwise I would ve camped out and take some pictures. The only raptors in CO are in the Springs for the recent air show.

    Per my calls, they said, those raptors are probably on transit. Darn it!

    I heard some guys flyin loud this morning, a few hours ago...were they Raptors?

    I know I saw some Hornets a few days ago...their tail end looks similar to the F-22...

    There was something this weekend (I think it was a 14, but what do I know) so low and loud that it rattled a few pictures off my wall. So much win!!!

    Some of you guys on here who are pilots (whether fast birds or commercial), I envy y'all so much.
