That pilot is having good fun. Thanks for upload.
I've spent much of my life walking, driving, sailing up and down that massive harbour. You flash over it in seconds! Awe-inspiring.
Sydney was a great port to visit, went there three times when I was in the US Navy, also went to Darwin and did joint ops with the RAAF, had a great time there!
Sydney is so beautiful
That pilot is having fun looking down at us plebs. Looks like the best job in the world.
Coming from the states- amazing and Bad ass!!!!
My favourite part of the Australia Day celebrations! Being in the cockpit is amazing.
Wow you guys down under know how to celebrate
we know nothing compared to the U.s. have seen a U.s. Election, let alone an air show super bowl or Nascar race. We are penny-pinching Has been's.
Why thank you
Ian. S yes we do.
@@JasonBlack66 It's better then nothing mate
Yes we do!!! STRAYA BABY!!!!
Wow! Thanks for putting together this video. Happy (late) Australia day, too, m171562.
Thankyou Air Force for the fantastic post ! Best ever !,
For the eagle eyed spotters out there... Ironically at 5:52, there is a wasp inside the hornet.
Oh yeh there actually is
I guess that wasp was having the time of his life
At first I thought "How big of a nerd do you have to be to freeze-frame that and identify it?" Then I did it myself and you're quite right: it's a hornet-borne wasp 🦟
@@videowilliams You mean there's people out there who DON'T watch Hornet videos at 0.25x playback speed?
WOW, fantastic. Looking great on my TV here in Ireland.
so good the fly over at sydney bro's and guys
That is ridiculously brilliant.
This is awesome. God bless Australia.
Quality footage from the boat
Thank you for sharing this video I appreciate. I used this as my a.m. personal stay at home Anzac Remembrance Service
With gratitude I thank you
Awesome footage.
AWESOME display from ADF
1:33 I kind of feel that the all the programmers and engineers who worked on the fly-by-wire for the F/A18 don't nearly get enough love. Also love the "yeah whatev's" look he has at 2:41, or maybe that look is from the g force
Great video!!
Cheers to lads on the boat!
My Country my Pride RAAF
Nice show !
What a beautiful city, reminds me of California but dare I say better.
Awesome!!!
Just watched the fighter jets today happy Australia day everyone
damnnn you guys are flying so close together!
Cool video. 🤙 So what was that cylindrical object with the domed top and red stripe stuck to your canopy?
It didn’t look like any camera I’ve seen so just curious what it could be.
I really love the people that volinteerd to serve there country in the sky go Australing airforce you rock
How awesome, just love them. Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie👍🏻
The one on our right is a 2 seat B variant.
Great footage, but I don't mean to put a dampener on it but the in cockpit footage is from 2018 or 2017 as the RAN vessel off the Opera House this year was HMAS CHOULES. The vessel you can see from the cockpit footage is either HMAS CANBERRA or HMAS ADELAIDE. A completely different ship.
its actually from 2016 display. Raaf haven't shown 2019 cockpit video yet. But displays are pretty similar, so I used an old footage. Its all in the description section.
Sooo Coool !
good on ya mates , , , let freedom ring : - )
Damn! Do you think they'll be doing this for 2021?
i would love to go for a ride in 1 of those but my back would not take it
OMG what a rush go the RAAF
Ughh darnit. I should've headed into the city to watch this
what is the red device attached to the canopy?
A camera!
Im a grown arse man and dont get jealous of any other man but, when I see a man thrashing the shit out of a fighter jet I get goose bumps and say to myself "god fucking damn it, I wish I was that mother fucker right there' Fuck yea boys
Hey my dream is that I to be a army pilot with a helicopter
Coolest Job in the Universe!
The pilot looks like it’s having fun I wonder if they re gonna do it again this year
I heard they will be using 2 F-35 on Australia Day this year.
Yay
Cool
Ooooo Myyyy GOD ✈️
Although Australia do not operate any aircraft carriers, but since they fly naval aircraft, I’m just wondering if Australian FA18 pilots train for carrier qualification using simulator or on exchange with the US Navy?
Estelle Melodi Mitchell while the F/A-18 was developed for the US Navy and Marine Corps, and are carrier capable, that doesn’t mean they are limited to that use by other forces.
So no I do not believe RAAF pilots do any carrier training as they wouldn’t ever have the need to. However it a pilot were to somehow transfer or get a role flying for the US Navy and had to do carrier operations then they would get the training then.
Carrier landings, takeoffs and manoeuvres require a whole different set of skills and abilities and not all pilots are capable.
@@MeppyMan Yep definitely no walk in the park landing on the boat, I wonder if the hornets we have are even carrier capable or just cheaper variants since we dont really need to land on the carrier?
Bob Brown I don’t actually think there is any major difference in the airframe and landing gear between then, but I may be wrong there.
MeppyMan yeah the US navy hornets have beefed up landing gear for the hard landings on the carriers
@@bobbrown8661 They did have arrestor hooks. It was cheaper to build them with them than it would have been to design and develop a modification to delete them. As "Fastback" says they don't have the catapult tow bar.
Soon to be CF-188
I can do that to but i dont feel like it...
Fly Navy Fly strong
So I live in Australia Sydney and I want to be a fighter jet pilot for the RAF and its been my biggest dream. Wish me good luck! :)
You mean the RAAF.
Yes RAAF lol
@@vinceversinceAU Good luck mate!
@@anti-loganpaul7827 I still gotta wait a while tho lol bcuz I'm only 12
And the Navy boys are thinking ....
1:18 my exact reaction.
This is the ducks guts !
I REMEBER THIS ON THE BEACH MATE
18 meaning f18
Damn them wings have some bend on them when doing the high radius turn I'd be scared they where gonna snap if it wasn't made out of that good ole Pennsylvania steel
Aluminum Spars?
no steel in those wings dude, all aluminium composites, sorry for the americans, aluminum, and titanium alloys
High AOA or Low radius turns.
@@SuperSetright The ends of the wing also pivot upwards to enable better storage on carriers.
In Australia mat
Did anyone else just hear/see these things going past your house at like 10 in the morning today

Yep sure did.....I'm near Plumpton twice I heard them.....each time I ran to go outside to watch but they had gone by the time I got outside lol..

AndSo what
Well yeah, they're jet fighters, not jet pacifists! They're not going to deter wannabe enemies with hugs and kisses.
Should be against the Law to have an empty backseat!👌

Please don't shoot any of us abos please. Been been through a lot. Xx
1:05 you can hear the sonic boom.
It’s illegal to have sonic booms above Sydney, probably that wasp from before
Not allowed to fly supersonic.

look at that 18 girlfriend on the side
First commenter and first viewer
F/A18 is very old. Mig 29k is far more superior than F/A18
Australia is currently in the process of upgrading to the F-35.
jet power will make yo go mad
Happy Invasion Day.
It could have been the Japanese in world war 2, be thankful you dickhead.
when do we get to at least see super hornets doing this? Cheapass Au Gov > ADF
they are killers
AndSo derrrrrrrrr now how long did it take you to work out there military jets.
Shut the fuck up. They protect us from predators you idiot
They give you freedom and a platform to be able to prove that you are a fuckhead like you just have.
