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.
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.
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)
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Awesome video. Great perspective on the T/O roll in a max performance configuration. From an undershoot area to threshold then rotating at the TDZ markers that’s roughly 450-500m for the roll!
Nice. This video is excellent. The Super Hornet is a big fat waste of crap.. I am saying that the original F-18 is a favorite. Some decent noise levels here. With ear buds
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
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.
Nah, he was well in parameter. That was what's called Onspeed AoA, it's textbook approach attitude. You can tell from the yellow light on the nose gear, that's for telling the deck spotter on the carrier what your approach attitude is. Amber is means good. You can maintain that with zero stick inputs, just trim and tiny throttle movements.
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.
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 ! !
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👍

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.
I can see the freaking flutter in the tips of the tail fins! That's how awesome you are with a camera.

Im okay with my taxes being spent on this
My taxes covered the fuel cost from start of runway to lift off .. your welcome
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

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!

Awesome Hornet!
A greeting from the Spanish Hornets from Torrejón AB, great video!
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 !!
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.

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
Fantastique pilotage du F-18 et particulièrement bien filmée.......
If you enjoyed this video then you might like this video of F/A-18 Display at Avalon 2015 ; ua-cam.com/video/rph3hw4Us1Y/v-deo.html
WOW! superb camera footage, hands down the best F-18 display on YT, job well done & thank you for sharing!
One of the best demonstrations ive ever seen. Looks like the pilots were having fun.
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.
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.
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.
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
Woooooow! That was AMAAZING! Really niiice images, nice flight and wonderful sound!!! One of the best YT videos!!!!! Thankss!!!
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.
*It's a shame I can't like that video twice or three times*
Very well done. Great camera work.
gotta love those afterburners!
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 :)
Love this on my simulator!!!
My fave military jet apart from the Eurofighter Typhoon.
4:23 love that sound
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
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.

Impressive video. Nice flying demonstration.
Fantastic footage! What tripod legs and head are you using?
fantastic video!!
no music or chit chat.just flying.beautiful.
This looks more movie quality than most movies... Just stunning
An awesome demonstration and I got to witness it from the best seat in the house! Call sign "Wollongong Display"🎙🎙🎙
This is incredible!
Very nice captured.🖒
Great video and F/A-18 Demo.
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 ?
Awesome video. Great perspective on the T/O roll in a max performance configuration. From an undershoot area to threshold then rotating at the TDZ markers that’s roughly 450-500m for the roll!
Superb Video & Display!
Great steady camera work
Awesome video. Thank you so much!
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!
The most great video with f18 hornet.... 💙💙💙
Stunning display thanks for sharing
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.
Outstanding! Excellent quality video. What did you film it with?
Brilliant footage !
What was the explosion on the ground at the end of it?
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
Best hornet footage I’ve ever seen
That poor light. Just trying to do its job marking the end of the runway XD
And no pointless music. 👍
Thats so cool! Thanks for sharing this video
Hey Ian great video where abouts were you situated to shoot the video? And what video equipment did you use?
Are those Combat Flaps with After Burner on?? Just for show?
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.
I clicked on the fence advertising thinking it was a pop up add, oops
Same!
When does the F-18 super duper Hornet come out ???
Awesome!! Oldies but goodies !! F18 rocks !! Old Mcdonell Douglas team work !!
Those roaring F18s Make me think of being at the Avalon airshow
Amazing video..... Thanks you
Great video shots! Must get a 4K video camera.
Beautiful jet
Nice show of adverse yaw on the aggressive left turn.
Where these the F-18A or the F-18C?
Awesome view! What camera set up?
Awesome camera work ....waiting for 2018 display ?
Great filming! Seems the regular Hornet performs better than the Super one.
BEST JOB IN THE WORLD
Better than Swiss F18 And yet Swiss démo is hefty 💪👏
Great video, awesome quality. Just wondering, what that thing was with the airport fire department?
Thanks. They were putting out fires from pyrotechnics
SEXY. But what was that right at the end was it a detonation display or something ?
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 😂
10:04 How close was it to birdstrike?
About 300 ft
Damn - proud to be Australian. Thank you RAAF
💪👍 great vids amazing hornet..
Nice. This video is excellent. The Super Hornet is a big fat waste of crap.. I am saying that the original F-18 is a favorite. Some decent noise levels here. With ear buds
イラワラ。

やはり、日本とは違いアグレッシブな動き!

一度でいいから本場の航空祭を見てみたい。
Where's your vantage point that your filming from if you dont mind me asking
BMX park on top of the hill.
@@m171562 thank you
Doubt it will be on this year the way things are going
@@Mick_4591 It has been postponed to November. facebook.com/WingsOverIllawarra/
Why would an Australian jet have an cable catch hook fitted to it?
In case of Emergency Landing : ua-cam.com/video/M__nKa52GHk/v-deo.html
That pilot has a lot of seat time, they do not let a cherry play games like this guy or girl demonstrated, gr8 job!!
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
What happened at the end there? Was that just a fire fighting display?
It was a simulated bombing run using pyrotechnics. Fire truck then puts out the fire from pyrotechnics.
What happened at the end?
Ladies and Gentlemen the legendary F-18 Super Hornet.
awesome wish i was there
