    That's about as aggressively as I've ever seen Hornets flown. Hats off to those pilots.

    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 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.

    • @yoyoyoyoshua

    • @davbhard
      @davbhard 5 років тому +3

      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."

    • @12345fowler
      @12345fowler 5 років тому +1

      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)

  • @12345fowler

    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..
