As impressive as it is, what good do those types of moves do a warbird?
Nothing, I think.

Face it, this is a "shoot and kill before you see me" kind of environment,
now. Fighters don't play Snoopy and the Red Baron anymore.

The Air Force F-22 Raptor combines similar maneuvering capability with
stealth technology, making it a vastly superior weapons platform. The
radar cross-section of the Sukoi is the size of a battleship, by
comparison. It wouldn't last long in head-to-head combat.

Anyone who saw the F-22 demonstration at OSH '06 will never forget it.
It's quite simply an amazing aircraft.
