F-22 Raptor taking off late in the evening, right at sunset, on its way to the Martin County, FL night airshow. Looking west into the sunset while the Raptor was taking off to the east. Sorry about the quality but it was darker than the photos portray and then lightened in processing. There were two Raptors (F-22) and two Vipers (F-16) staging at Vero Beach and then flying down to Stuart daily for the Veterans Day weekend airshow.

Vero Beach airport has a very nice restaurant right next to the tarmac where the fighter a/c are parked, and diners get an up close and personal view of the aircraft while eating...The Sound of Freedom....Cheers!
