Scott 2023 Air Show

North American P-51 Mustang flying with Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. The Mustang was introduced in 1941 and has a top speed of 441 mph. The Raptor was introduced in 2005 and has a top speed of 1,500 mph (well, maybe). The extreme maneuverability of the Raptor is demonstrated here, where it is easily flying in tandem with the much slower Mustang.
This photo was taken at the Scott AFB air show last weekend. This is a great event held from time to time on the base.
