FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The Air Dot Show Tour is taking over Fort Lauderdale Beach.

The undisputed star of the weekend? The F-22 Raptor.

Watching it defy the laws of physics, it’s easy to forget this isn’t science fiction. It’s the world’s premier fifth-generation stealth fighter — one that requires a specially trained pilot to command its power.

There is only one demo pilot for the entire F-22 Raptor Demo Team: Capt. “LaZ” Letourneau.
