My goodness... Please, everyone, take notes. This is the best quality I've seen for an airshow video. Great focus, not over-zooming the entire video. Also, I have to mention the crisp, steady clarity is off the charts. GREAT JOB SIR!
I worked on Jets on a Carrier most of my time was on the flight deck and this was the most unrestricted flying I have ever seen and we use to see allot of it at sea ;)
I'm from Chicago and we've got the biggest Air Show in the entire country.....and the hornets don't put on nearly the show as I'm watching here. We suck.
I can see the freaking flutter in the tips of the tail fins! That's how awesome you are with a camera. And the pilot. A magnificent and unique demonstration. A+++ Would watch again.
I wish the air shows here in the US had F/A-18 demos as well as the other fighter jets that are as aggressive as this display. Here in the states they're rather tame. Kudos to you! I'd love to see this show in such a wonderful setting with the hilltops and mountains surrounding the airport.
Have you been to an airshow with a hornet demo? This one seemed rather restrictive (probably because of the cloudy sky) but they always show off the roll rate, high alpha pass, minimum radius turn, high G takeoff. Theose are all standard maneuvers, which is why they are put into all demos. Just look at the Blue Angel's. Even they are much more "aggressive."
About demo agressiveness : the most agressive demo of a F-18 ever for me was around '92 in Payerne / Switzerland during my military time. It was a CF-18 from Canada and at this time the minimum altitude during show was ridiculously low. I was even scared myself seeig him fligh so damned low and so damned agressive. (Typical F-18 stuff high alpha low speed / high sigh speed whatever...) It was also during that time that Switzerland was considering the F-18 for replacement of it's Mirage so maybe that played a role ? It was so low that the guy couldn't do the slightest mistake or he was toasted. I sure nobody ever allow such dsiplay routine anymore. Part of the explanation was were military personnel not joe public so normal restriction didn't apply. (Miliaty personnel = expendable commodity lol)
Probably the best airshow video i've ever seen. We don't get airshows like this in Oregon... They're pretty tame compared to this. The sound and camera work here are so awesome.
Awesome, Not a full aggressive demo, but beautifully shot and gave a real feeling of the airport. bet the echoes from the cliffs created tingling I was getting goosebumps from the recording... I went to H.A.R.S. earlier this year and wanted to get back for the airshow this year (always thought Illawarra would be a great place for an airshow with that escarpment). Really jealous now. Best vision of an f-18 display this side of the professionals. Plus i loved the crowd sounds really felt like i was there.. off back to watch it again.. cheers
Ho'nets are always a great display! Very pointable... one of the most maneuverable A/C at slower speed for a good display for an airshow. Good video, cheers.
If anyone can find me a better filmed aerial demonstration please let me know, this is the best-filmed demo on the internet. Btw I watch a lot of UA-cam air demo content.
Who the hell could thumbs down this video of F/A-18's? There are 25 of them and I am sure they all must be liberals. This is a great video showing just what these machines can do. I, for one, am glad these are on our side.
@@MrCool-qi7cy Sure, that is why Hillary sold our uranium to the Russians and pocketed millions. Hillary is a Democrat you know. Hillary also bought that Fake Russian dossier for millions to try to stop Trump from being elected. So, everyone that is intelligent knows who conspired with Russia. Evidently, this leaves you out. sorry.
To the Australian people, this is the sound of freedom.... without a strong Defence Force, we would be open to others that would like to take our way of life....
It was staged. A mock bombing run. They do those at some air shows. The Fire department must always. Be on scene when it's performed. It's a safety reqiurement.
I replied to the wrong comment, but people were asking what exploded, and why there are firefighters swarming the scene. There were people who didn't think in was a bombing run, but thought an accident or a crash may have happened. I just replied to the wrong post.
I live 3 miles from MCAS (MARINE CORPS AIR STATION) here in Beaufort, SC.trust me when these and the F35 takeoff, circle and land during heavy manuevers right before deployment they tend to drive you batshit crazy with the noise that vibrates your eardrums and pictures and plates fall down from it, but like thei sign at the entrance of MCAS says "That noise you hear is the sound of Freedom"
The Carolina Lawn Darts (AV-8Bs) had this weird whistle to them. I think that made them a little more annoying. I'm a MCAS Cherry Point Marine brat. lol.
Just curious, if this is 2017, that looks like the F/A-18 Hornet, not the Super Hornet? I am by no means an expert, but the Super Hornet's intakes are squared, not rounded.
Legacy hornets are actually more maneuverable then it's predecessor the Super Hornet. Check out the Finnish Hornet Demo, the jet with the red wingtip missile rails. Best Hornet display I've ever seen. The pilot flies her with the agility of an F-22. I've never seen an F-18 fly like that. Please find it and watch in utter disbelief.
Who would win between F18 C/D or Mig29 ? Because iran is a threat to my country and the region we’ve got F18 C/D E/F & Typhoon T3 and Iran has the Mig 29 , F14 su23 and Mirage
Trust the Aussies to give a big "fuck-you" display in a fast jet!! None of this gentle arcing, 8-point rolling, punch-pulling bullshit, just a very fun display. Beat the crowd up, wiggle her around to demo the roll rate, boot-fulls of rudder, and a lot of flame and noise :D

I have ever seen and we use to see allot of it at sea ;)
Im okay with my taxes being spent on this
My taxes covered the fuel cost from start of runway to lift off .. your welcome
That's about as aggressively as I've ever seen Hornets flown. Hats off to those pilots.
Enjoyable to watch, no talking, excellent quality. +1 sir.
Thanks very much.
And no music👍
One of the most beautiful planes ever!!!
oh cmon, everyone says that to every plane nowadays
My favorite fighter since a airshow i went when i was a kid back in 1995... Maybe its the the best of all but its the one i like no matter what ! !
i'm from canada and this has got to be one of the Best f/a 18 hornet demo i've seen in years
totally AWESOME
Yeah, it really is. Neat location and great flying. I'm coming back after watching it a year ago. Agreed, it's AWESOME.
I'm from Chicago and we've got the biggest Air Show in the entire country.....and the hornets don't put on nearly the show as I'm watching here. We suck.
Heavy hitters from downunder.

Shit RAAF birds don't even go through the abuse US F-18's go through. Are the airframes weaker than USN F-18's?
Ahhh we do they're called the Blue Angels!

Had front row seats for that display (to the right of the runway), it sent shockwaves through my chest with every fly by. Amazing video :D
Great to hear the 'WOW' of kids enjoying the show rather than some awful rock music that accompanies most US Jet displays!
US air show fan here, don't we all know it!
6:15
Right On!
Yes i understand especially when you are right or next to the speaker, most of the time i want to hear the raw power of the jets.
Nothing wrong with rock, it's just the afterburners are far better :)
This is just AWESOME. Looks like having a real F-18 flying in his dining room, action looks so close. Brillant demo and beautifuly shot. Congrat !!
Awesome Hornet!
A greeting from the Spanish Hornets from Torrejón AB, great video!
Great camera work! Almost felt like I was there .
Such a beast of an aircraft. It’s easy to see why it’s known for being a great dogfighter.
2:36 The second hornet thrust knocked the housing from the runway edge light.
"YOUR GONNA HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT!"
@@WinterDutchie l
No Problem if you got Stingers in your house and just shoot those Jets. 😄😄😄😄 ✌✌✌✌✌
Blue Marshall unless they have flares 😂😂😂
What do you mean
Awesome, Not a full aggressive demo, but beautifully shot and gave a real feeling of the airport. bet the echoes from the cliffs created tingling I was getting goosebumps from the recording...

Just watched it again..got chills...thanks.
Thanks for the comment. Yes it was great display by the pilot and beautiful day also.
it's hard to describe, but the 'hornet' is such a fitting name for it.
What a fantastic video!! The Australian pilots get the best out of the F 18. I am a great fan of the RAAF! I live in Holland. Greetings.
Thanks
Meanwhile in Finland...hold my beer
You do an awesome job filming these shows! What I would give to see an f-16, of 15... or any other high performance jet filmed at this field.
Ho'nets are always a great display! Very pointable... one of the most maneuverable A/C at slower speed for a good display for an airshow. Good video, cheers.
WOW! superb camera footage, hands down the best F-18 display on YT, job well done & thank you for sharing!
If anyone can find me a better filmed aerial demonstration please let me know, this is the best-filmed demo on the internet. Btw I watch a lot of UA-cam air demo content.
Great video! It's like I'm there. One of the best fighter jet videos I've ever seen. They really got close to the crowd. Excellent work.
Woooooow! That was AMAAZING! Really niiice images, nice flight and wonderful sound!!! One of the best YT videos!!!!! Thankss!!!
*It's a shame I can't like that video twice or three times*
Very well done. Great camera work.
I clicked on the fence advertising thinking it was a pop up add, oops
Same!
Why hasn't anybody asked "What blew up at 10:17?" I know I would like to know. From all the fire trucks, it doesn't appear to be staged.
I think it may be flairs ejected from the f18. ????
It's pyrotechnics. Staged by the people who run the demonstration, the firetrucks ensure it doesn't start a brushfire and put it out.
Who the hell could thumbs down this video of F/A-18's? There are 25 of them and I am sure they all must be liberals. This is a great video showing just what these machines can do. I, for one, am glad these are on our side.
Not Liberals. Republicans are the ones betraying America by selling out to Russia and the Nazi party.

One of the best demonstrations ive ever seen. Looks like the pilots were having fun.
Great vid thanks. Couple of those attempts to squat the jet looks like they didn't go to plan or maybe just mixing up the routine.
Brilliant vision. Magic planes, best ever. Could watch this all day
gotta love those afterburners!
Love this on my simulator!!!
My fave military jet apart from the Eurofighter Typhoon.
Fantastique pilotage du F-18 et particulièrement bien filmée.......
5:32 THAT SOUND😵😵😮
WickedMantleOnRBLX
3:50
Awesome camera work ....waiting for 2018 display ?
When does the F-18 super duper Hornet come out ???
Great filming! Seems the regular Hornet performs better than the Super one.
This looks more movie quality than most movies... Just stunning
Impressive video. Nice flying demonstration.
Great video shots! Must get a 4K video camera.
Two planes take off but it seems like only one does all the stunts. The one with the orange tail or am I missing something?
The other one was circling around high over the lake and they flew back to base together.
He defected to New Zealand.
Fantastic footage! What tripod legs and head are you using?
no music or chit chat.just flying.beautiful.
Nice filming old mate. Good on ya. Thanks very much.
Nice show of adverse yaw on the aggressive left turn.
Excellent camera work.
An awesome demonstration and I got to witness it from the best seat in the house! Call sign "Wollongong Display"🎙🎙🎙

And replace it with their version of freedom.
🦅🦅🦅🦅💪💪💪💪
Great steady camera work
fantastic video!!
Awesome video. Thank you so much!
Great video and F/A-18 Demo.
Every single demo I've seen of the F18 in the US is nothing compared to what I've seen from other countries. This plane is incredible!
That poor light. Just trying to do its job marking the end of the runway XD
That pilot has a lot of seat time, they do not let a cherry play games like this guy or girl demonstrated, gr8 job!!
Very nice captured.🖒
Those roaring F18s Make me think of being at the Avalon airshow
4:23 love that sound
I live 3 miles from MCAS (MARINE CORPS AIR STATION) here in Beaufort, SC.trust me when these and the F35 takeoff, circle and land during heavy manuevers right before deployment they tend to drive you batshit crazy with the noise that vibrates your eardrums and pictures and plates fall down from it, but like thei sign at the entrance of MCAS says "That noise you hear is the sound of Freedom"

For the u.s.a now I wish I joined the air force or navy but I joined the marines but still love it god bless america from iraq
Awesome video
Superb Video & Display!
The most great video with f18 hornet.... 💙💙💙
Just curious, if this is 2017, that looks like the F/A-18 Hornet, not the Super Hornet? I am by no means an expert, but the Super Hornet's intakes are squared, not rounded.
Your right. Its a legacy Hornet, not the Super Hornet. FA18/A upgraded to C standard.
There are still many legacy hornets flown by U.K, Canada, U.S Marines, Army...
Catatonic Pikachu Kuwait too C/D & E/F
Best hornet footage I’ve ever seen
Better than Swiss F18 And yet Swiss démo is hefty 💪👏
This is incredible!
Amazing video..... Thanks you
Thats so cool! Thanks for sharing this video
Bloody awesome man are you using a External Mic at all or just internal
Thanks man. I added audio recorded with Samsung S5 phone. You can see it at end of this video; ua-cam.com/video/jvy78vWQAGw/v-deo.html
are going to br heading up for dawn strike end of june ?
Outstanding! Excellent quality video. What did you film it with?
Hey Ian great video where abouts were you situated to shoot the video? And what video equipment did you use?
Brilliant footage !
Ladies and Gentlemen the legendary F-18 Super Hornet.
Damn - proud to be Australian. Thank you RAAF
Stunning display thanks for sharing
9:12 holy...!!!
No Kidding. Was the pilot just trying to prove that the plane can dance on the air?
Cristian Valenzuela what’s that then some sort of robot move 😂
What’s was the explosion on the runway towards the end?
BEST JOB IN THE WORLD
SEXY. But what was that right at the end was it a detonation display or something ?
tomorrow the show will be on again, and I’m gonna go :)
What happened at the end?
Are those Combat Flaps with After Burner on?? Just for show?
Awesome!! Oldies but goodies !! F18 rocks !! Old Mcdonell Douglas team work !!
Awesome view! What camera set up?
Great video, awesome quality. Just wondering, what that thing was with the airport fire department?
Thanks. They were putting out fires from pyrotechnics
Beautiful jet
Man do those afterburners throw off a lot of heat haze! 🥵

Check out the Finnish Hornet Demo, the jet with the red wingtip missile rails. Best Hornet display I've ever seen. The pilot flies her with the agility of an F-22. I've never seen an F-18 fly like that.
Please find it and watch in utter disbelief.
If the Hornet is “legacy”, by definition, the Super Hornet is not its predecessor, it is the successor.
Never seen such agressive take offs on F18s wow
Who would win between F18 C/D or Mig29 ?
Because iran is a threat to my country and the region we’ve got F18 C/D E/F & Typhoon T3 and Iran has the Mig 29 , F14 su23 and Mirage
And to know that they are hardly pushing the bird in comparison to what it can do..
Trust the Aussies to give a big "fuck-you" display in a fast jet!! None of this gentle arcing, 8-point rolling, punch-pulling bullshit, just a very fun display. Beat the crowd up, wiggle her around to demo the roll rate, boot-fulls of rudder, and a lot of flame and noise :D
And no pointless music. 👍
Where these the F-18A or the F-18C?
10:04 How close was it to birdstrike?
About 300 ft
Very nice Vid great Job 👌👍
💪👍 great vids amazing hornet..
