The F-22 just lands at a random airport??


Pretty much. The demo team requires a runway that is 7,000 by 75 feet. They also demand single-wheel weight bearing of 65,000 pounds, parking spaces that are 75 feet wide, security fencing, and various other junk like hotels and a gym. I'm sure they'd settle for less in an emergency, perhaps even a wide highway.

I don't think it is all that much compared to the Boeing VC-25 (with Trump) or Antonov An-225 Mriya, both of which landed at the airport.


You are lucky to see the F-22 and the Mriya :)
