Capt Nick “Laz” Le Tourneau performs preflight checks before taking off in the F-22 Raptor at Aviation Nation 2025 at Nellis Air Force Base. As the commander of the Aerial Demonstration Team, he flies one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world to showcase the precision of Air Force aviation. Air shows give pilots the chance to connect with the public, share their experience and highlight what daily life looks like in the Air Force, from mission prep to flight execution. #F22Raptor #F22 #AirForce #AviationNation #MilitaryCareers #AirForceDemoTeam #AirmanLife
