It also managed to fly through a canyon within enemy territory less than 100 feet above the ground, destroyed a uranium plant, and shot down an Su-57 in the same day. Not bad I'd say
Another amazing documentary coverage video about F-18 hornet shared by excellent Mike Guardia channel video showed that technological competition amongst US aviation companies created that USA having excellent airplanes in the world ...allot thanks
As a son of a former army soldier i have grown up learning more about the F4 phantom,all the way to the F18 hornets including the f14 tomcats..both the f15,f16 and also the general dynamics f111it's great to see this documentary i was only 8yrs old when this was made
Back in my US Navy days i was lucky enough to be stationed in the very first f-18 squadron on the east coast VFA-131 Wildcats , We also was the first to see combat in Libya is 1986 aboard the USS Coral Sea , Based out of NAS Cecil Field fla 1984/1988 great times !
Supposed to be a show about the F/A-18 but it takes 15 minutes talking about every fighter from the F-4 to the F-16 before finally getting to the point...
It's not really a huge feet to reach American basses from Russia we have air force and marine basses in Alaska and its only like 50 miles from Russia to Alaska across the barren straight. From little diamonds Island to big diamonds Island which is the little ones in America and the big ones in Russia in the winter time you can walk across there and an afternoon cuz it freezes solid
30 years later and the intro music on these videos still makes me happy. These are so well done, and it's so cool to see them again. Thank you.
For series music info, check out "usnraptor great planes database".
I like how that synth guitar kicks in whenever they're about to show the Hornet in flight. It's like the Jaws theme 😂
8:56 You're god damn right!
The f18 has an excellent combat record, it stopped an alien invasion all by itself 🤣
Russell Casse, we salute you 💪
🛸👋

@@idiota8855i think… don’t get me wrong here… that may be a film… it would make good production tho
@@idiota8855 didn't it blow up the death star too ?
Thank you again Mike for these great uploads. Excellent finds my friend. Everyone let’s get Mike more subs!

The F-A 18 is the YF-17 redesigned. So in a way both The YF-16 and YF-17 made it into production.
Its a shame the original nickname didn't stick. Because then we'd have the "Super Cobra" today and that's just a really rad name.
You're getting even better now Sir, England through to the Semis of I cc World Cup and now this? 😂 Many thanks Mike
Hes already won the world cup for the best documentarys On UA-cam, definitely agree that he's got the best one's to watch
The F-14 Tomcat might have been the Top Gun but the F-18 Legacy was the Blue Angel
The Tomcat is much cooler though
@F-14Tomcat-qv5ly the Tomcat is a has been athlete whose glory years are long behind it
@@pontiacGXPfan nope, it's still got sharp claws

Shows fpotage of the saab VIGGEN when talking about the DRAKEN..
Jamming out to that opening tune.
11:40: it's not a Saab Draken, but a Viggen.
Eh.... They're all the same...
@@RedTail1-1 off course that NO
Yeah!!! Go F3H!! Don't mess with the Demon!!

An interesting video, shame about the dull music in the background!
11:40 ....is not Saab Draken (JAS 35) ...but it is the JAS 37 Viggen.
It will be even greater if you can upload Dogfight series after finishing this one
Back then the falcon killed the cobra, but today the mighty growler can kill a viper
Will have to be a very light Growler and a very heavy viper for a growler to take on a viper.
How would a growler, an electronic attack aircraft, take on, and win, against a Viper, a purebred fighter/CAS aircraft?
Its not the McDonnell Hornet. Its the McDonnell-Douglas hornet. The hornet came AFTER the merger.
what’s the music
40:01 Bet he felt that one!
that's an hysterical accent

There was no need to replace the f14.
Damn bugs
f a 18 hornet super hornet growlers more expensive than some f 35 , this is the air of the US, super hornet n f 35, a bit of b 2, lancers ... btfl
Too bad there are zero stats.
Kind of annoying to listen to someone constantly mispronounce St. Louis. But still a good video.
US Navy and Pentagon said Tic tac beat the F18 🛩️🛸
