My dads actually got Rolls Royce Spay 205 engine with full re-heat. It was originally in a Phantom and then was in the was in Thrust SSC. It was one of Thrusts spare engines and wasn't in it when it broke the land speed record. I can take some pics of it if anyone is interested ??
Same boat as you, That F22 video is about as exciting as watching paint dry.. It looks like another slow yank tank which has stealth capabilities. Why use so much time and money showing off a plane to around 20-30% of its potential..
This is how you display an aircraft:

Whether the dispute that the F22 could out manouvor this is true, by this video, i'd like to see anything pull as hard and as tight as that.
Nothing on a tornado though
