    The Finns and the Swiss have mastered the legacy Hornet. The 2019 Finn display was still the best Hornet demo I've ever seen. This routine is still brilliant, though, and together with that lunatic Belgium Viper driver it's a hell of a 4th gen lineup 👏

    WoW! His style is different from others ive seen, he showed a lot of control over the plane and not letting it to over roll or give the idea the plane was loose even when hitting the after burners and stop or carefully glide along while on full power was amazing @6:16. Also i love the way he turn the engines down as he approach and lighting them up again to make his move here move here 4:43 which he hid from the clouds never knowing where he will punch out of the clouds is one of the high light for me.

    • @MetaliCanuck
      @MetaliCanuck Рік тому +2

      @6:16 is a 30 High Alpha , all Hornets from the first A model perform this at airshows as I did many times too. The Finnish Hornets incorporated some software that they made and created that most Hornets don't have which allows higher angles of attack, but any Hornet can over ride the AoA limiter and G limiter and do this stuff. Its just hard on the air frame.
