US AIR FORCE F-22 RAPTORS DOMINATE THE ALASKA SKY AS FALL COLORS AND MT McKINLEY/DENALI ALONG WITH VOLCANO MT SPURR ARE VISIBLE

In this below linked Playlist multiple US Air Force Raptor fighter jets are seen in succession flying above the ocean waters of Anchorage Alaska's Cook Inlet. As a bonus views of Alaska's Fall Colors and of Mt McKinley, also known as Denali, are included, along with scenic Mt Susitna, snow and ice covered mountains from the Alaska Range to include Volcano Mt Spurr with its Crater Peak.

Each video is also accompanied by inspiring music.

The first video even includes an F-22 Raptor Fighter Jet flying above Mt McKinley with both the aircraft and mountain sharing the same frame. As the first video concludes the camera pans back to capture a closer up view of Mt McKinley as its snow and ice covered peak looms up over the horizon from a distance of 120 miles away.
