Great job done by a F-22A Raptor pilot from the #USAF's 3rd Wing currently on deployment at #Kadena Air Base, #Japan. Its left main landing gear tire burst during take-off. The pilot immediately aborted, kept the jet on the center of runway and then taxiied the jet outside. pic.twitter.com/t6KQVM4LwV
