An F-22 Test Pilot's Lecture about the Raptor

There is a lot out there about the F-22. However, there's a lot that is, honestly, not understood by the public about the Raptor and how she flies. At least, until now:



Lt. Col. Randy "Laz" Gordon gives a lecture on the raptor. It's quite impressive and damned cool. The lecture was for MIT's Private Pilot Ground School.

There are a lot of tidbits for the F-22. The level of automation for a bird as old as she is ...is pretty impressive. The drive covers a number of highlights here:

I do recommend watching the video instead. The lecture is an hour long though, so hold on tight.

Thanks
I'll give it a watch

Gave it a watch earlier myself. Nothing earth shattering info wise, but hearing the info related by a test pilot with his angle on presentation was insightful. For a man with his background it was a really down to earth layman's explanation of the bird and its flight mechanisms.

I watched the first 10 minutes of the video when this thread was posted, and bookmarked it to come back and view the rest later when I had more time, like now.

So now I tried to watch the rest, and find it's gone! Why would they remove it?
