"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

there is another video where pilots are interviewed after participating in a dogfight... one F-22 against five F-15es... the 15es lost and badly...

It is interesting that after that early PIO (pilot induced oscillation) crash, Lockheed Martin really got themselves together and managed to get the handling characteristics for all flight phases and pilot tasks to nearly all ones on the Cooper–Harper rating scale. In essence it is an intuitive extension of the pilots body, with few or no quirks to remember or train for (in regard to how it handles).
