@@jockojockoson9995 Every pilot works their ass off to get any certificate, civilian or military. Better than everyone is a terrible term to describe a fighter pilot especially in the united states. There is a culture of fighter pilots talking shit to every other pilot as if they were on top of a mountain. Joking or not, imagine being able to fly the coolest planes in the world and having the audacity to bring down other pilots. Its opportunity that separates a military pilot from a civilian pilot, its opportunity. I want you to understand that.

To be down on the beach and watching this as I was, you don't realise how much they have to go through performing these stunts. The Pacific Airshow is awesome on many levels.

I was impressed with how clear the MFDs were. Wonder if they adjusted the FPS/exposure of the cameras or maybe the Super Hornet has better displays something. Did anyone see how rough the turbulence was flying along the beach? Ouch😖

Having served in the RAAF for 18 years, a tour in Baghdad, Iraq at Camp Sather watching this Superhornet display at the Pacific Airshow actually had me in tears. This footage is brilliant as it also shows that inertia plays a massive part of being a jet Pilot. One of my jobs was an A/C refueller I’ve seen FA-18’s take the cable at night due to a PAN which in itself is impressive. I think I recall them saying this Pilot’s call sign was Woody…thank you so much for putting on such an amazing display and thank you for your service ❤️

Guy is so cool looks like he had time for a drink and lie down. Enjoyed the show today. Fingers crossed for next year.

the amount of vibration from the camera whenever he turns that jet , insane stress and torture the planes go through , and the pilot aswell , respect

Simply stunning. Plane is awesome, pilot is talented and how the WISO can do his work in the back seat during flight maneuvers under up to 8 G's is beyond belief. What a ride. Attended the airshow. Great work to all the pilots and the amazing planes. Thank you RAAF.

Thank You All for your Service !

How many people went home and watched Top Gun after the show :) Brilliant display - so good splashing around in the water with this overhead. Hopefully it becomes a yearly fixture at the GC.

Incredible footage of our Super Hornet. God bless our Aussie friends.

Now that is very impressive inside the cockpit of the F/A-18F Super Hornet 🤩🤩

I love the noise and power of the Hornets as they leave the Amberley Base runway.

We travelled from north western Australia to attend the show. All 3 days on the beach front and centre. Loved every minute. Thank you

Major thank you to all pilots!! What an amazing show. So lucky to have witnessed this!

My eyes will never see anything to match this. So talented so cool incredible aircraft. Thanks for your time entertaining us!!

This is fantastic footage. I've never seen a pilot/WSO brace himself like this using a grab handle or arm against the canopy. Incredible. The roll rate of the FA18F is gob smacking. Well done whoever put this together in the RAAF.

So glad I was there! Thank you Woody and Chook for the amazing display!

Breathtaking! Thank you so much for your pov video, this left me speechless ❤

Great view of the extreme aerobatics. The pilot is giving the air frame a good workout with those high speed pitch manoeuvres.

Far out You really get a feel for how much stress the Airframe goes threw Amazing they don’t just shatter into pieces . And I’m sure it was at half throttle 😳

That is one hell of a long routine - well done.

That was dope! Amazing footage. As an Aussie it makes me proud of our RAAF. I'm so glad you guys are out there keeping us safe. Thank you for your service for our country.

Thanks, that was great footage, did the Jungle Warfare Course at Canungra and flew out of the Gold Coast in a Hercules, the RAAF pilot flew along the Gold Coast beach at the Height of the Highrise buildings, had a beach side window seat, fantastic ride and view.

WOW ! next best thing to sitting in the back for the ride. iIt'll never get as ' real as ' this. Seriously spectacular video. Beats watching all those vids here on KZread that are filmed from the ground ! I remember when I was in RAAF, based at Pearce in 1986 thereabouts. I was sun backing on the top floor balcony facing the air field and these two 18's came screaming in one after the other very close together and low. The pilots put on a special show for everyone at the base. Fond memories. Thank you for your loyal service Gentlemen. Go Royal Australian Air Force.

This was incredible to see today’s on the beach. But then to come home and see this was the icing on the cake!

Nice one! I live down there and my whole dam building was shaking LOL!

Phenomenal! Fantastic footage, showing the ferocity of working hard down low and fast. Love it, just aircraft noise, nothing else to distract, keep the video's coming RAAF 😊

The F-111 at Caloundra air museum can still be used and would only take 1 week to become airworthy incase of a war etc it's a shame they had to berry most of them due to the asbestos used on the panels.

Best airshow i have been to, and this was of course the highlight!!

Fantastic footage. I love the instinctive hand on the canopy moments!

A great day Best F18 flying ever What a show perfect weather on the Gold Coast and a whale turned up as well

You guys were bloody fantastic this weekend! Can't wait to enjoy this again next year!

I was on the 77th floor of the highest building right there and as he flew past he was mostly at my eye level, it was epic.

It is the first Event of a 10 year deal to host this show. $45 entry with a closed off precinct, food drinks and corporate areas for those wishing to be wined and dined. Unreal seeing as its still winter. 28 degs i believe. My neighbour whom i just had a beer with went there to have a look. Said it was a great day and well worth the cost. Next year for myself.

Saw this on Saturday 19th August. FANTASTIC. The tail walk was incredible. When the pilot finished that and turned towards the ocean, I experienced the raw power of its engines. Unparallelled feeling‼️💓💓💓 Thank you❣️❣️❣️

Awesome footage. I was at North Stradbroke Island in 2002, ankle deep in the surf, and me and my gf alone on the beach - when out of nowhere an F-111, at 90 degree bank angle and wings spread roared past us, clearing the water's surface by a couple of metres, tops. It was maybe 30 metres out from where I was standing as it tore by. Just jaw-dropping, and quite surreal given the idyllic location.

By far the best footage from the RAAF of this type. Thanks very much and congrats to all involved in making it.

This cockpit footage is absolutely incredible! RAAF's best of the best! The FA-18 is my favourite fighter jet of all time. Tried to get into the pilot program back is 1997 after high-school and missed out for family medical history. It's all I ever wanted to do. Massive respect to the men and women who get to pilot these magnificent machines everyday in service to our nation of Australia. Can't wait for the expo and airshow in November 18-19 at Williamtown and Newcastle. Looking forward to the Roar of the F-35 flyover... it scared my pets half to death on the Anzac Day flyover.

I am in awe of these young Aviators . While watching this I was a 30 year old again, feeling the acceleration, the Gs and the sound. Thank you for this amazing display. Per Ardua Ad Astra and beyond.

Enjoy your time up there gents and thanks for the show!

Show off! What a fabulous weekend, and all from the comfort of our front deck! Best event ever held on the Gold Coast, can't wait for next year. Big thank you for posting this video too! As I said before, SHOW OFF!

Intense. This POV is always eceptional to see the wing - and all the inputs the computer makes, lots of movement. Thankfully, no music - this sound is awesome. Very cool.

Superb. Pilot you should be very proud - what an achievement to pole that thing around. Happy landings.
