No where in this topic does it say its JUST about birds.

>Topic title: cool Raptor
>F22 Raptor
>The f22 shares its name with the topic name, therefore it can be posted in here. along with the fact there there is no "birds only thread!" said, anywheres.
>F22dude thinks the f22 raptor is cool. so he posted it in the thread titled cool raptor
>Your opinion is not the only one that matters on these boards gyrene.

>Spam? please find me 5 topics that ive mentioned the f22 raptor in. I rarely talk about the f22, let alone "spam" it.

When I see the word raptor, I'm thinking the ultimate bird of prey.



That would be a scary sight hovering above you.

Gyrene, Tyrannis. Cool it. F22 expressed his opinion, Gyrene expressed his, and then said he didn't. And then Tyrannis did something to get this thread started on something stupid.

Here's one:

 Wow this didn't take even one page to get off topic and get into a hissing match.  Cool Picts of the birds, and not the jet powered type.

Very cool bird!

I'm totally into raptors, and have several of my own!

I suppose the F22 serves a purpose, so is worth having around, but it can't compete with nature's own in looks or aerial ability.  The name "Raptor" for the airplane is really an insult to the real thing, in my opinion.  Talk about an overstatement (referring to an airplane as a raptor, lol).

In the end, it's just a plane...  And it doesn't even have a prop...  Need I say more?

Nope, still your opinion.

Your opinion =/= fact. no matter how much you wish it did.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbofan

I'm not talking about the fact that it has a blade spinning around.  I'm referring to the fact that jets are so gawd-awful ugly-lookin'.  

At least the ones they've come up with so far.

They have no appeal.  No romance.  They're just extra-noisy blow dryers.

I understand that they serve a purpose.  "Art" has turned into "utility".  Nothing wrong with that; it's happened with military firearms as well.

It's possible someone could come up with a neat-looking jet, I just highly doubt it'll ever happen.

As far as the F22 goes, I saw it fly not too long ago on one of my lunch breaks.  It is pretty agile for a jet, but it's still ridiculously clumsy compared to a raptor.

They'll never be able to compete with real raptors in looks or ability.  And they'll never have the romantic appeal of an F4U, P51, Spitfire, SE5A, etc...
