Awesome Aircraft

commenter pmbuko tells us, “This phenomenon has nothing to do with pulling Gs, but with the  (temporarily) decreased air pressure in the vortices beyond the trailing  edge of the wings as they move through the air. It just happens over a  larger area on the F-22 than typically seen with most aircraft because  the vector thrust capability can direct a larger surface area into the  oncoming air.”
my favorite banter:izlandi: “It actually runs on rainbows.”mxlytn: “imagine how fast it would go with a double rainbow…”volandil: “Warp 2 for rainbows is forbidden by intergalactical law and you know it!”
