- As part of the Australian Defence Force’s support to the 2020 Superloop Adelaide 500, Air Force F/A-18A/B Classic Hornet pilot Flight Lieutenant Kyle conducted two spectacular aerial handling displays and a flypast above the race circuit, showcasing the aircraft’s impressive capabilities.
The displays included high speed runs at up to 900km/h, low passes and a demonstration of the aircraft’s maximum turn performance - all while Flight Lieutenant Kyle experienced forces up to 7G.
The F/A-18A/B Classic Hornet can reach a top speed of 2,200km/h and can defend from air, ground and sea attacks with precision guided weapons using a range of advanced, integrated systems. You can find out more about this aircraft at our website: www.airforce.gov.au
Our Classic Hornet fleet is currently on the process of being phased out, and replaced by the fifth-generation F-35A Lightning.
I would love to hear Kyle do a commentary over this video. What g he was pulling, how much he was struggling and his overall experience. Would be fascinating to hear the pilots first hand account.
Great idea! We'll see what we can do in the future.
@@AusAirForce This would be an awesome idea!
How about some matching ground imagery for the more dramatic bits
@@AusAirForce I would love to see the RAAF do a video like this ua-cam.com/video/kT7qrYi8R_M/v-deo.html

Rippa👍🏽👍🏽
Man ever since I was like 3 I'd always hear the F18s fly over and I'd always run outside with my dad and watch them. I'm 19 now and still do it aha I just absolutely love watching them It really puts a smile on my face. Thank you RAAF for everything you do❤
@Peter Gossner yea you can never be to old or young to enjoy planes. And iv heard of those planes but never seen them 😂
@Peter Gossner I just got taught a history lesson pretty much and wow I really learnt alot just from you I really appreciate all you wrote and stuff really gets the brain going. Who needs internet when you have people like you aye it's awesome 😀
@Peter Gossner ... I worked with Mirages onwards... up until the F16's. I never saw the Sabres flying, nor the Vampires... but have seen them STATIC: The Vampire mounted on a pole outside the RAAF Base POINT COOK, The SABRE in the RAAF Museum, all good to know about... I am 72 now... and the comments were for 1969-1979
I started going to the car racing in Adelaide when I was about 10 with my dad and absolutely fell in love with the jet planes and it was the most excited thing about the whole weekend, I’m 29 now and honestly i love them more know
Seeing the fly overs now make me feel like a that little kid again even if it’s just for 10 minutes
Trust me mate, you will never lose that feeling you get when you see them regardless of how old you are
Tell me that isn't the greatest office on earth!
What's really cool is seeing places in the background that you know, like Adelaide Airport, Parafield, etc.
7:00 - the 'climb rate' of that jet is phenomenal !! What I wouldn't do to take a ride. The F/A18 has always been my favourite 'fast jet'...
I am sorry but F35 are coming to Australia
@@bigboys108 a stupid, and very expensive mistake...
I know they are every money In the toilet type of people
We were at the Fringe when he did a low flyover. I think most of nearly had heart attacks LOL Too cool!
I was there Saturday to see this awesome display. 16 years in the RAN using these things for target practice but I didn't know they were capable of some of those manoeuvres. He made it look like it had thrust vectoring. Absolutely ripped it. Great pilot!
Was listening with headphone Stones Gimme Shelter + this clip, I thought I'd pass out...lol. This is my Died and Gone to Heaven moment. Could watch this ALL DAY.
He flew over my house and the sound hit me. It was insane. The best adrenaline rush.
Thanks for sending one of the FA-18s over, it's very much appreciated. Even if it rattles all the glass in my house during a flyover. It always amazes me the lesson in speed difference between light and sound while watching the display.
I was in the Grandstand on Pit Straight and the noise from a low fly past damaged the 8m TV screen. It took more than an hour for the technician to get it all the working again. It must have vibrated the circuit boards out of their mounts. Great show!!
He was really hooking on that first approach! I cannot begin to understand the pride Kyle must have had to put this together. Absolutely the best job in the world.
I remember a RAF Jaguar doing his thing over Lara at the Avalon air show in the early 2000’s and he copped a smack for going too low and too fast. The pilot deserved a medal, he did a great show. The. Noise was exhilarating. Go RAAF❗️
Thanks so much for this, RAAF and Flt Lt.Kyle. That's a good day in the office. Awesome experience. Go you good thing!!
OMG ! Navy Brat , my Dad flew A4's in Vietnam ( 164 air to ground missions) and we lived at Lemoore . The Blue Angel's were our hero's growing up and we watched more air shows and action you could never see as a kid these days , BUT THIS !!!!!!!!! Can I drive please ;0 ??????
Hey Butch, haven't seen ya in years but watching this makes me so proud of how far you've come. Awesome to see mate!
Is Butch 'Single' lol.....ohhhh love those eyes !!
I was lucky enough to have this guy fly straight over my house
That’s killer 🤩
It's great to see a small part of the skills of the obviously very good pilot on display. Well done whoever you are.
We used to get a free show like this when we were building the Northern Expressway, we had great fun and I think they did as well, although we suspected that they were using us as target practice. Best of the lot, one day pilot got directly above us and pulled straight vertical. The noise was EPIC!!! Had to scream to the bloke next to me! And he held it for what must have been 30-45 seconds!
Dude has the best job in the world...
Awesome fly overs. Loved them.Thank you Kyle. Scared the heck out of my Mrs on your first fly over. Priceless .
Bloody Awesome! Tighten up that harness young fella! And nice big "G" Squeeze at 6:38 ! What were you saying "No" to?
My guess? Something to do with the scale of his GPS map on the centre MFCD. He mashes the scale button like 4 times to zoom out to 160 miles, then bounces out of there?
See how neat and tidy Adelaide is... can't get lost there...
Amazing watching the in-flight cam
Having a nice quiet beer at the fringe..... until you flew over and I just about spilled that delicious beer all over me!!....Without a doubt for me, it’s the best feature of the weekend.... and always has been!!
Still can't beat the pig and it's dump n burn show stopper... old school I know :D
LONG LIVE THE PIG!! 💖
LOL. I heartily agree sir.
@Peter Kyle took a dump....and it burnt his arse in the flight suit.
The 14 dislikes are from the pilots that weren't selected for the display.....
That was so good!! I was smiling the whole time! Fantastic! Big thumbs up to the pilot. Onya RAAF!
It's my dream to be a fighter pilot I know most names of jets off by heart how they work and everything but since I have ADHD and a bit of autism I might not be able to join I try my best and still keep pushing towards my goal.
Just like my crop spraying days in the Cessna Agwagon……………
Great job boys!!!
I never realised how bloody loud that strake vortex is-
Great Video!
Top Gun! I was at the track and he went right over my head... really low. It was Awesome!
Ha. I'd hate to talk that routine through at pre-flight. Well done.
Best part was, "I'll just check my straps before I invert and turn the Earth on its axis.
The little head shake towards the end was a 'tell'.
Yes loved that part.....Little bit of sweat on the brow there Flt Lt Kyle :)
I think they are just the meanest looking plane. I used to make models of them as a kid. The f35 might be more capable, but it looks like a Toyota Yaris.
thanks RAAF, got to love these FA18 super hornets, not sure if the F35’s will prove a worthy replacement
Insane! Love seeing clips of cockpit view from the screens on track!! Felt like it flew lower this year & everyone loved it!!! Dream job 👍🏻
When i was at the 500 on Saturday, it was extremely low and I dived out of the way... Mind tricks, these things do that stuff.
Love these clips, please keep them coming!
Nice driving.
Great clip, thanks for sharing, certainly gets a good view of Adelaide
Great aircraft and display
That right shoulder strap keeps sliding off ?.
Awesome! I agree it would be great to hear something from the pilot too.
i always hear the jet do flybys live close to the track in SA
the cars sound like a bees nest from afar
Do they take off in Edinburgh?
Put a horn on a jellyfish that would!! Seriously great video. Love your work fellas. Especially Brisbane River fire. That noise just makes me happy. ❤️.
Astonishing performance
Does he have a FAC on the ground at the track??
Love it! Nice work mate ;)
Totally awesome. Some people are just different, I couldn't see myself doing that even as a young man.
Hey Seuss...!! What a machine
Thanks for Uploading.
This is awesome ❤️
Loved, loved the display, the pilot did the RAAF proud, long live THE RAAF!
Nice work mate i love it 🌹❤️🇦🇺❤️🌹
That was fantastic 👏👏👏 more please. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
No doubt the most exciting thing to happen in Radelaide since colonisation...
Ooh, he’s a Flight Lieutenant (FLTLT).
with GoPro? Black7? Nice video ;)
Last item on the pre-routine checklist : Noise Abatement - Not a factor. That was very impressive.
To Be a pilot is a dream come true!
Enroll. DO IT !
I was just a RAAF Firie when these were introduced, in TVL Fire Section... LOVE these AC! Of course, I also did practice on shutdowns on Mirage and Caribou, as well as Neptunes and Orions!
Go RAAF Firies. I was in TVL. I did my LAC trade test extracting one of the pilots from a 75 Sqn bird. Good times.
@@Crashtruk2 .. your name is familiar... in TVL 1976-79 at Fire Section?
This is fucking cool.
Absolutely awesome!!
Fearsome Angels 🙏🇦🇺😎👍
The amount of flex in the wings during some of the hard pulls...
Stunning aircraft and beautifully engineered!
Also... 7G...
Hat's off to those who can throw these machines around!
Would be very very demanding on the mind and on the body!
Thanks for the video and thanks for everything that the RAAF does to protect our national borders and keep us safe.
So awesome
Thank you RAAF and to the pilot for sharing. From western subs Adelaide.
Will there be a video of the Sunday display?
The Classic Hornet! Are these the ones being sold to Canada?
How do you time the ending of the national anthem and the jet flying over so precisely ?
They can broadcast it on frequency or have the run in called from personnel on target.
@Royal Australian Air Force i just took one of these aircraft for a spin out of Dubai. Do you rent these aircraft out?
totaly out of this world thank you so much for sturring up the people looked awesome on TV but yideo wow stay safe all eb
viled and thanks you very much see ya
I saw it cool
That's amazing
Need to add some music to it. Maybe get s more top gun feel. Watch the Blue Angles, Thunderbirds.
Just another day at the office...
Obviously wasn't strapped in correctly. Ground tech ?? Also would have been better if air speed and altitude was displayed in a little box on the screen. (from ex Sumpie, Mirages)
Awsome. !! More of this please RAAF
awesome!!!!!
Looks like he lost his phone down the left side of his seat, keeps looking down there ?
what a machine gave me goose bumps go the RAAF
It is my dream to be an Australian Air Force pilot to serve my country. I will try and do good in school to become an air force pilot!
All l can say awesome
I was there was the superloop of the people in their team who were in the same team as the one who won the league last season with the team in the league last season and the imposter can't win the season yet but they won the championship last season and won the league finals last night and they won the win by winning the win by the season winning
He was hooking along
I want one!
Fuck that's quick
How good of you guys to demonstrate these aircraft before we sell them to our Canadian friends.
Can someone find me his patch in high resolution I would love to see it up close.
From the reflection in the canopy and sqd details. Looks pretty darn close. . . . www.airforcecollectables.com/RAAF-Patch-Sqn-Royal-Australian-Air-Force-75-Squadron-Ops-Velcro-1P-51AS-1AAF-01SQN-2OP-0075SQ-01.htm
Velcro would hold those straps in place.
How low was he flying on the saturday?
My guess was around that Golf Course 630ft....? Any takers know exact?
He gets paid to that! 😀👍
I would like to see his P.O.V
Looks like you really need to be ship shape & fit for that.
All wings, report in. Red 10 standing by. Red 7 standing by. Red 3 standing by. Red 6 standing by. Red 9 standing by. Red 2 standing by. Red 11 standing by. Red 5 standing by. The F/A-18 Hornet was the fighter that killed the Death Star. I always likened the hornet to an X-Wing.
7:15 'I was inverted.'
Cool as.. and it’s called work for some...
Amazing!
