F-22 flight demos are amazing. If you can’t see one at an air show, check out videos on YouTube.

I cannot help but think of a poem called High Flight, written by fighter pilot John Magee, Jr., who tragically was killed in a midair collision when he was just 19 years old. The poem brings tears to my eyes every time I read it.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds,—and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air ....
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor ever eagle flew—
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Speaking as a car guy, that’s a Bronco. A Raptor is a pickup and not an SUV.

They make a Bronco Raptor. My son has toyed with the idea of trying to buy one! Per the Ford website, they start at $89K.

I don’t think he‘d find for for under $100k right now …people are paying $20k+ over MSRP!

I know! I want him to buy a condo instead - at least the down payment on one!
