I was there today, and out of all the flying displays the F-18 Super Hornet was my favourite! Couldn’t wipe the smile from my face! Loved every minute of the show!!!

I love hornets....but the raptor was mind boggling, especially if you have a grasp on what most jets can do in BFM.

At different lighting angles, you can see the pilot’s eyes. A lot of concentration there! Nice little detail showing the 1 Squadron emblem on the t-shirt under the flight suit. Go RAAF.

That would have to be one of the best clips I have seen on KZread. Pilots face, ground, clouds, speed and clear vision. OK I am an Aussie too. Be there Sunday.

Great footage. Saw the show today, blown away by both the Rhino and the Lightning II. The RAAF showcase was fantastic showing off the capability of the fast jets and the other platforms (my son has gone to bed cuddling the little cardboard model C-17 he was handed)! Thank you for protecting our skies.

Big shout out to the boys in the squadrons who keep these things in the air 24/7! & To their families who support them behind the scenes! Your service is appreciated!!!

Love the way they stare at things

😂 that's so cool thank you to share I haven't seen that vision angle you mob have tonnes of fun Love yerrs heaps

This was simply amazing to watch down on the ground in person! My daughter won't shoosh about it 🤣🤣

Negative G's looked good, that strapped helped highlight them.

Thanks for this, RAAF. A better view than I would've had from the ground, and I didn't have to sit four hours in ground traffic. 👍👍 (Actually, the highway traffic looks OK at this time. 😊)

@@longslongprong lol, assuming some of the 6-8 production SU-57s( there are more prototypes which are less capable) could get airborne, given Russian maintenance problems, maybe they could be a problem if they could actually get that close. My money is on their stealth not being anywhere near as good as they claim, therefore making them a target way sooner.

Totally awesome well done stay safe and thanks

Every display has been great this weekend !!

Was there on this day and it was amazing!

A nother day in the office thanks RAAF your the best

I was at the show and it was a blast

My back injury prevented me from making it to the show again this year. Thank you so much for uploading these videos, feels like I was almost there

Thnks for this it gives a different prospective

Nice work mate I love it 👍🏻❤️🇦🇺❤️🌹

Saw this today at Avalon today. 10/10

Wonderful video

This is now a new favourite vid of mine. I just wish it was over Sydney Harbour

Ah so it was YOU who took off right in the middle of my powerpoint presentation. Gave me a couple seconds to read my notes :)

Love this, our RAAF rocks 👍

Fascinating

Well that's amazing never seen that be4 so quite in the cockpit

SOO COOL!

I wish I could've gone to this! Maybe next year.

This is why I want to be an airforce pilot 😎😎😎

I had a 'session' on one of the Super Hornet simulators at RAAF Amberley in 2009 (I think). 6 SQDN had received two at that stage and the F-111's only had another couple of years left. Had a go at the F-111 simulator too.

Props to the Go Pro mount for handling the G's.

Yes

Very interesting to watch the nuances of what he does. After a prolonged positive G manoeuvre he's sure to pull some negative G, I assume, to push some blood back up to his head. This is clearly indicated by the little strap near his left shoulder. Such a physical job that anyone would just love to do. He's living his best dream. 👍👍🙏🙏

Best Job in the World!

I never noticed the leading edge of the wings moving before

I got a picture of this place where I could see the pilots from my back verandada😊

as amazing from the cockpit as it was from the ground

Can you please do a forward view next time? Much appreciated in advance. Love from Newcastle!

Amazing how you can see just how the pilot's suit forced blood to the pilot's head in high G-force maneuvers (to stop him passing out), can literally see the whites of the pilot's eyes go red then return to normal after in some moments.

Bang tidy !!!

The pilot seems to be adjusting himself a lot in the seat, I thought the pilot would be more secure in there.

Would love to see a euro fighter here one day on display

Who is the young lad in the cockpit? great piloting skill. Well done sir.

"Turning on final. Coming around to a seven-zero-niner. Terminal guidance locked in. Where's the damn beacon?"

6:36 When your Face falls onto a visor, due to the G's, or Shrooms. Mwhahahahahahahahhah

Just when I thought he was going to land...XD

Was that from Weds? I don't recall seeing the missiles on the Hornets on the Friday.

Was this a low display due to the cloud cover? Noted the absence of the pirouette usually seen in the US Navy Super Hornet TACDEMO or does RAAF not do that manouver in their Hornet display?
