Pilot's statement:
High Altitude Fighter bomber (Namely the F-22) + Clear Blue Skies and No Other Aircraft (Remember this was when I had FS2000, now I have 2002.) + Cocky, Thinks he knows it all Stick (Stick is the US air force term for a pilot, mainly used by pilots who fly the awesome F-14 tomcats) = A Huge Hole in the ground. Basically I like high alt ops and I took off from Meigs (F-22's don't need a long runway) and climbed to 45000 feet without afterburner. stopped at 45000 ft to regain lost speed and regain speed of sound. then activated burners and climbed to 80,000 ft. Maintained 80,000 and circled around the great lakes (was traveling at Mach 2.5 and boy does an F-22 guzzle up fuel). Was Descending to 50000 ft and lost control of aircraft and at this time was circling city of Chicago. Lost control of aircraft and went into an uncontrolled dive. tried to reduce speed by cutting off engines and extending full flaps and air brake (spoilers). Managed to regain control of aircraft at 3000 ft and stalled the rest of the way down exactly miles out of Meigs runway 36 with the plane full "dirty" (dirty = with the flaps and spoilers and wheel retracted) |
