(Video) Hopkins Graduate Demonstrates F-22 Raptor

Maj. Dave "Zeke" Skalicky is one of the few certified to demonstrate the fighter.

As a little boy, Maj. Dave "Zeke" Skalicky wanted to fly like Superman, according to his parents, Larry and Judy Skalicky.

Skalicky may not have super powers, but he achieved his dream of flying in a big way. The  graduate is one of the only pilots in the Air Force certified to demonstrate the F-22 Raptor—an advanced fighter with an unmatched combination of stealth and maneuvaribility.

Flightline HDTV talked with Skalicky at last summer's Great Minnesota Air Show for the above video.
