Thank you Mr. Elwyn for your videos. I have seen most of the aircraft videos shot by you. I greatly love Fighter Aircrafts and wish to see more videos from you.
I love how the aircraft which have Stability Augmentation Systems (instead of full-authority fly-by-wire systems) can do post-stall tricks, like at 07:18.
@Richard Levy - Actually, none of the production F-18s have vectored thrust. When I speak of post-stall flight, the aircraft is almost out of control, since there is turbulent flow over the wings. The only thing that saves it is the all-moving tails, high thrust, and skill of the pilot. Planes which have full-authority flight control systems (and no thrust vectoring), such as the F-16 and Eurofighter, never let the pilot get past stall conditions. Therefore, their airshows are a lot smoother and less exciting. I used to work in the group which designed flight control systems for the F-16. And I remember our bosses were freaking out in 1989 when Pugachev first did his Cobra maneuver. McDonnell Douglas was quickly able to get an F-18 simulator to do the Cobra. But the F-16 couldn't do it unless certain parts of the flight control system were bypassed.
Nope, F-18 is very well valued as a front line aircraft for US Navy since decades, there is the Blue Angels team that use it and celebrate it for many years and a lot more. Its a two engine fighter, kinda heavy and very (but not extremely) agile. It deserves the fame it has as a successful fighter but its surely not the best aircraft in the west.
I think I synchronized both of your clips of this flight ? for reference 3:40 here matches 2:30 in the other AWSOME clip "Stunning F/A -18 Display Sion Airshow" from 21 Sept 2017. hmm partially ?
Thank you ER. You took us closer to the right place inside.

@@ElwynR Welcome Sir
BELLISSIMO.Grande pilota.

watching the flight controls react so quickly is amazing....
auxpowerunit thought that was vectored thrust.

You bet!
If only DCS would look this good.
Bloody amazing!
Le plus beau job du monde
Georgious! Enjoyed every second - thank you very much.
(Agree with hurbt: you might consider 2 Picture in Pictures of the other cams)
Very nice. I'd love to see a picture in picture version :)
Very nice, good display.
The best job in the world. Period.
Fantastic!
Stunning
Most excellent!
Awesome clip!
Aww why doesn't it show the cockpit perspective during the maneuvers at 4:07?
Cool flying ...sir !
Superb!!😎👌🏻
Beau placement de la caméra
Great display, underestimated plane isn t it?

At 7:20 it looks like it rolls left with right aileron applied, is that pilot input or some FCS "magic"?
Nice, army allow the things like camera / youtube ?
Awesome!
You mispelled the watermark though... the 't' from 'Vincent' ended up in 'Displayt' lol hahaha!
Wow!
Top Notch
pushing the limits F18 computers will be UPGRADED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AWESOME!! Grtz
how did you have the videos in the cockpit ?
I'm sure it burned all it's fuel trough this demo, but amazing demo and skills
TOP!
The mother of the pilot was my German teacher 😎
Switzerland is really small 😂😂
i think amateur display pilot but love ♥
Some people have all the luck be safe.
