You all make me proud to be Canadian everytime I hear your jet engines and see you protecting our skies. May you have a long and safe career as a fighter pilot and keep these videos coming the RCAF needs to promote itself more by encouraging pilots to make beautiful vids that show off our capabilities and professionalism.

    Good stuff...love Hornets. That flare roll reminds me of the time at the Meaford tank range when we let the OPP Emergency Response Team doing some training on the weekend go wild with several vehicle mounted .50 cals-told them it was a great way to burn through some extra rounds. They were having a blast until one of them asked what each round cost. We casually told them about $27. Understanding they were being charged at a "per use" rate for their training that weekend, and they'd just gone through about 500 rounds, the look on their faces? Priceless! Until we told them they didn't have to pay for them, and they were actually helping us out..."
    There's something classically beautiful about the CF-18, or should I say CF-188.
    There's also the old Sea King's...the new Cyclones are 'nice' but I use to liken the analogy to the Sea Kings like "Stiflers Mom"... she looks sexy from afar, and she won't disappoint when you get inside of her, but she needs a lot of attention after you're done or she might come apart at any time. Hence, a Sea King is like Stifler’s Mom.

      @@FlodieWoods Thanks man, glad you enjoyed.
      As for the training, BMOQ is just something you need to put your head down and get through. Just remember, it’ll be over and that sometimes (mostly) being a “grey man” is best.
      As for the actual flying phases, having a good attitude will take you places. If you’re willing to learn from your mistakes and from feedback you’ll naturally be trainable. No one is perfect during training (or ever) but if you demonstrate you’re willing to and able to learn and grow, you will be a good fit for the fighter community. No one starts out as a perfect fighter pilot. You’re built through the training process.
      It’s also important to remember being apart of the fighter community is a team sport. This may mean helping out a course mate who’s struggling with after hour practice sims when able/needed. Everyone struggles at some point, so what goes around comes around when you you need the help.
      Good luck with it. It’s a long road, so enjoy the journey.

    Thanks for posting this man, damn good video and gets me emotional. Doing exactly what youre doing is a goal that has changed my life. In 2022, at 19 years old I was at the lowest point I could possibly imagine, both my parents had just died of cancer and my 4 year gf cheated on me, because of this I had barely graduated highschool and was just giving up. Then one day I came across the idea of becoming a fighter pilot and it changed my life. I immediately started my pilot license (i still fly today). I then wrote the CFAT in March of 2023 scoring well above the minimum score for Pilot. PCL needed was a 40 and I got a 57! I then spent a year redoing all of grade 12 to achieve the extremely high marks needed for RMC. Just this past fall I got conditional acceptance into the military college, felt unreal. All that time id been studying for aircrew, doing everything imaginable to prepare, I even learned to juggle 😂. I was in the middle of working on my medical and awaiting an aircrew selection date this past December when I got an email saying that due to training delays and such they were severely cutting the number of ROTP slots to 10 which raised the CFAT score to a 60. My recruiter said its never been so high ever, to know any other year I would have been good was heartbreaking, and to still be so close. For some reason as well, I just learned that my right ear doesnt hear the 4000hz frequency that well. Who knows if ill even pass a medical. I wont give up though, I will never ever give up. I want to show myself and the people around me that no matter what you go through in life you can achieve anything. I dont care how long it takes I will nake this happen. I appreciate the video, just the motivation I needed today.

      @@Nic_Chy sorry for your loss. I’m glad this gave you a bit of inspiration tho.
      When I first applied half way through university I didn’t get in. Did similar stuff as you did increased grades in university etc. Applied for DEO at the end of schooling and got in. Don’t forget they give points for volunteer/community work etc on your application as well.
      Unfortunately timing has a role in the military. If unable to get a pilot slot this year it might be a good idea to take some time to travel/volunteer/work and boost your application score to get pilot. It is somewhat difficult to get in as another trade and transfer to pilot. But it’s not impossible either.
      If this is what you want to do, don’t give up! It’s possible, as long as you put the effort in. And don’t forget about enjoying the journey. Training can be stressful but try to give yourself a minute or two, each trip to appreciate where you are. I still do this in the Hornet.
      Keep your airspeed up, unless you’re trying to flush the bandit out in front of you.

    2:05 on up Excellent views of the vortices coming off the LERX(LEading Edge Root Extension. These travel over the wing at high AoA allowing the production of lift beyond the normal stall point. The Aussies and the Canucks teamed together to solve the issue of the vibrating vertical stabilizers. The vortices coming of the LERX would interact with the vertical stabs causing the stab. to move back and forth violently. A LERX redesign These entered service for the RCAF in 1982 and will remain in service until the CF-35A reaches FOC(Full Operational Capability sometime after 2032.

      Good info, learnt this about the LEX/LERX too, from an engineering professor, when I was at Carleton University. The LEX Fence (on top of the LEX) was created to disrupt and weaken the vortices enroute to the V Stabs. Interesting to note that even with these modifications, looking back during high AoA you can still visibly see a lot of movement and vibrations in the V Stabs. Can't imagine what it looked like before.
      The HEP upgrades are a game changer.

      @@XCimenaticGaming I was a cadet for a short period of time (great program), it is not required to become a pilot in the CAF tho. I joined as a Direct Entry Officer, university completed prior. To be a pilot you need to pass testing during the application process including aircrew selection testing.
      To become a fighter pilot, you need to be selected for it during Phase 2 flight training on the Harvard 2. This is based on performance, preferences and the needs of the CAF. Once selected, you need to complete 2-3 more courses depending on which avenue you go down.

      Basic training will require many similar skills to cadets, however, in a higher stress environment.
      If you know what you want to do and you're not done high school, joining as a reservist is a great option until you go to secondary school (Not exactly sure of the age limit). Then I would recommend ROTP as Pilot. Typically joining the Regular Force as another trade and trying to Volunteer Occupational Transfer (VOT) to Pilot does not go smoothing or quickly. It can work but is relatively rare.

      Although landing is possible and takeoff is after modifications back to original design (the launch bar is disabled), it is not done. @marcb1551 has the answer.

    I wonder how much maintenance these things require for every 1 hour of flight.?
    very old now.

      They are very well maintained by our Technicians, but yes, they are very old for fighters and require a ton of man hours per flight hour.

    It’s about F-ing time a Canadian Hornet driver makes a cruise video. It only took 40 years 😂 Well done lads 👍
    Looks like they are in Western Europe training against Baltic country Mig-29’s and Su-27’s.

      Ya, we've been selfish, there should be more videos.
      We were in Romania for Air Task Force - Romania in 2022 conducting NATO air policing. Canadian Hornets did this from 2014-2022. You're right, outside operational missions, we were training with NATO allies.

      No, the RCAF does not have Harriers, however, we train with them from time to time. Those ones were from the USMC.

    Nice, and a miracle you found that many flyable 40+ year old Hornets. And another thing, you don't buy a "strike fighter" to defend nearly unlimited sub-artic, artic, and coastline air space. Trudeau should go to jail.
