From one of them there 'heritage flights' what happens at the end of the airshow.

Top down: P-38 Lightning, A-10 Thunderbolt II (more commonly known as the A-10 'Warthog'), F-16 Fighting Falcon, and the F-22 Raptor.

Amazing they can all fly stably at the same speed. I'd think the jets would start to stall at the P-38's speed.

Gravdigr · 04-05-2013, 02:49 PM

I thought the P-38 could do about 500 mph, but, Wiki says it tops out at about 443 mph in war trim. Wiki doesn't list stall speed for the Raptor, but, what with vectoring nozzles and such, I would guess it's stall speed to be very low. It can probably fly slower than the Lightning.

ETA: Wiki lists the P-38's stall speed as 105 mph, so...maybe not.

Gravdigr · 04-05-2013, 02:58 PM

The Falcon would probably stall somewhere around 140 mph (depending on angle of attack), as takeoff speed is 138-148 mph, minimum.

ETA: Wiki states the stall speed for the Warthog as 138 mph.

Well, they took the picture, so it's clearly possible. I knew the warthog could fly slow, since that's its mission. But the other two jets look FAST.

Pete Zicato · 04-05-2013, 05:05 PM

Or maybe they took the picture just as they were lined up?
