While I generally agree with your sentiment, I didn't watch the video and was satisfied reading summary in the linked article.

- sandworm101 6y agoThe article almost made me not watch the video. It is poorly written, by someone not versed in aviation terminology. Much of what said of "raptor pilots" is in fact true of all fighters. And some of the facts are so awkwardly worded that they are borderline incorrect. For instance, the F-22 does not fly at 60-65,000 feet. That is its service ceiling, its maximum possible altitude.
- Aeolun 6y ago> For instance, the F-22 does not fly at 60-65,000 feet. That is its service ceiling, its maximum possible altitude. So it flies at 60-65k feet. I don’t see how that is wrong? If a pilot wants to keep cruising along at that altitude it is apparently possible, even if they might not generally do so.
- mirimir 6y agoActually, TFA says: > ... Gordon notes the aircraft flies at altitudes from 60,000-65,000 feet.
- sandworm101 6y agoWhich would make landings rather difficult.
