- Featured is our raw footage from the 'Fighting First' preparing for Riverfire 2024 with some practice runs over the City of Brisbane in lead up to the Brisbane Festival Riverfire event on August 31st.
2x F/A-18F Super Hornets from the Royal Australian Air Forces's No.1 Squadron based at RAAF Base Amberley conducted the practice runs on Friday August 30th.
We are bringing you more from this event so stay tuned, especially next week as we have something special we are really looking forward to bring to you.

I swear to god, the Globemaster flying through the city put Brisbane on the map and the F/A-18F's are the icing on top.
I like how the tradies pause their work to view the rhino flyover
I was there up the top (the jump) in front of the crane. The sight was impressive but the sound was incredibly awe-inspiring.
Unfortunately the video creators, whom I saw, may have had their vision blocked by a building when the plane did it's vertical climb.
Tradies work? That's a new one on me
@@mike9347 And your job?
@@2jbass We were trying for the shot of the boys with the aircraft coming in from behind- couldn't line it up how we wanted it though.
It would definitely be a tools down moment. Smoko would be great. What a view
Great video So amzing to see these fly through the city. Top markes to the RAAF
I was lucky enough to be working from home that day. Watched the jet flying by from the back deck. The noise was deafening but it was so exciting! Hard to tear myself away but lunch break was over, so had to get back to work! Thanks RAAF, it was magic. Top marks to the pilot. ❤
Tradies with the best view in the house and the crane operator with an even better view haha
After they go down that length of the river they veer left and fly over Kelvin Grove. They were practicing two days before Riverfire. This Aviation is just seemingly effortless. We all wish we were up there too!
Thanks Joel. I'm home sick in NQ and this is awesome to watch. :) I grew up in and around Airforce bases, and love airshows. :)
Thanks for taking the footage. Wasn't able to attend so appreciate your coverage. Felt like you guys were within arms reach of those impressive machines. Thanks again
Our pleasure!
Absolutely marvellous and cool footagevof the F/A-18F Super Hornet performance in Riverfire 😊
0:50 that's why that building is behind schedule.
Beautiful shots so well done thanks.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Top job as always to all RAAF personnel and thank you Joel Thomas for some awesome footage! 🙂👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
The shots looking over the top of your lens are super! I thought my phone footage from the sky deck was nice but this is a whole other level of amazing 😮
If you’re like me you’ve flown this route on flight sim about 100 times haha. Awesome footage as always
Great skills on display….exactly what we need from our defence team
As an Aussie, this is the best
All the Yanks still hate this for being "fake" or saying "how unsafe" it is, and should never be allowed, yet love Top Gun movies.
Yep!!!!😂
Cause they want to play the victim card 😂
No they don’t
The Yanks could never take it when they're outdone
Great filming, thanks!
I left Brisbane after 20 years there, 18 months ago. Two things I miss is the weather, and living just north of Amberley.
Those boys sure can fly....Amazing skill they have...A1 footage as well...Great job...!!!
That was so good. Yesterday?
I was on Petrie terrace doing traffic. Holy Moly!!
Taken on Friday :)
@@aviationphotographydigest I reckon Friday on Petrie terrace was better than Saturday at River fire.
@@aviationphotographydigest the Globemaster on Thursday was soooo low too.
Excellent tracking!
Awesome footage,thank you.
Just gorgeous
Would be cool to see the B2 down the river!
F/A-18F!!!! Thanks for this mate I needed it😂😄
02:20 The behind-the-camera footage provides the best perspective.
What a beauty!
Y’all always got the best angles
OH! Fantastic picture.
Dude some real good footage !!
Loved the close ups, followed by BNE backdrop the slow mo. Great Photography you kept your pace even when it went out of view (experienced photographer).
I saw that from my house yesterday although it wasn't that close up / zoomed.
They were doing it for a good 20 - 30 minutes.
Love this🤩
that was sweet cheers
So good
That's an impressive amount of Bomb mission decals 212 has.
Thanks for this, but I was looking for the Army's Tigers practice run.
But then I realised they can just look up the Golf Course locations on google maps. ;)
very cool edit
Awesome footage
These boys watch over us while we sleep
Have to love it when your in a building and a fighter jet is flying lower than you are 😂
Great day to be a construction worker.
Can't wait for the riverside/ authority to view jets allowance in the new cfmeu eba!
Excellent footage and excellent pilots. What a great combination. This is aviation porn at it's finest.
Wait for our videos next week
HAPPY 2024 BIRTHDAY 2 ME 😂
Apparently the Pilots are very keen to get picked for this job.
With for our interview with the pilots in our next video, out at the end of the week.
Great job tracking the F-18s. Where were you perched?
What camera are you using? It has horrendous rolling shutter performance. However, I must commend you on your ability to track those beautiful aircraft.
I want to know how you get access to the roof?
Glad he missed those skyscrapers 😮
Watch our video that goes live at 7PM AEST tonight, and you'll see just how much training and work goes into achieving a safe Riverfire.
@@aviationphotographydigest of course it is, just jiving. Love it, wish I was there to see it
They need an external fuel tank to get from Amberley to downtown Brisbane??
I would not think so. Probably doing some other training while in the air.
They need Sparrows and Sidewinders, too, apparently.
I assume the munitions are dummy and are just there to create the look that they think the public expects. Perhaps the drop tanks are there for the same reason?
But, as said above, who knows what operational reasons there are?
54 ks from RAAF Amberly to Brisbane, if they need drop tanks to get here, then we bought dud aircraft mate ! 😉
0:50 - Odds on, construction industry family BBQ day on theat site coming up.
Thanks heaps for that awesome video... we live 500km west and never get the chance to see this display in person... in fact, I only knew it was on because our local country ABC radio was broadcasting the Broncos game and they said the aircraft were flying over Suncorp
fantastic i wish they where f35
👍
Where is fire? I remembered saw that long times ago.
Different aircraft. The aircraft you see in this vid can't do dump and burn.
I saw the pilot in another video and he looked like a 25 year old kid.
Watch our interview with him and the WSO out tonight 7pm AEST
@@aviationphotographydigest 👍👍👍
Nothing wrong with that aircraft in a dogfight!
Is there going to be two at the actual riverfire?
Website says singular but fingers crossed
It will be single, 212 was the backup crew yesterday. Stay tuned for more next week as we will b ring you something pretty special on the event.
This was really sad - after seeing two in practice was hoping for two on show day!@@aviationphotographydigest
sound?
Yes but we have the best pilots in the world, that’s what they hate.
So why do the rest of us, states, not get this display. Tasmanian taxpayers are ..... tax payers. We contribute to the RAAF but never see them.
That's a fair point, I've wondered about the cost factor. We just had the air show on the goldie too. Maybe it's just because they are based here and it's "only" the cost of a flight and not moving them from state to state?
RAAF flyovers down ANZAC Parade in Canberra. on ANZAC Day are an annual occurrence.
@@22bseano the cost is just practice anyway, so not much more than they would normally do.
Yeah AB turns threw the city??? This isn't the thunder birds...Fake shit
Meh. No big. A 15 second fly past.
Shots of the planes look great, but river fire is nothing without the dump and burn. Have not been there since they stopped doing it. It killed the entertainment.
Bit hard without a 111
@@stephenpage-murray7226 Nope they can just go buy some F14's ;)
@@BrettNoneya
There are no F-14’s except in Iran. Silliest thing I’ve read for quite some time. Oh, and an F-14 couldn’t do a D and B.
911 ?
Pretty cool but still nothing compared to the Sokhoi SU35 🇷🇺
