The Royal Australian Air Force has had a proud tradition of Hornet flying since 1984. Now operating both F/A-18A+ and F/A-18F variants, the land down under is most definitely Hornet country.
Big shout out to the RAAF's mates in the USN, who also celebrate Fast Jet flying with a history of Strike Fighter/Hornet Ball videos.
This video is from the inaugural Australian Hornet Ball which was held in Sydney, 2014. It gives an extremely brief insight into fighter flying in Australia.
MUSIC:
Outro by M83
Finale by Madeon, Nicholas Petricca
Daybreak (GoPro Hero 3 Edit) by OVERWERK

+HEADXHUNTER LOCK You're not a Super Hornet pilot.

@mrtrusty101 7 лет назад

And neither are you... Troll

@silverliningaviation3156 7 лет назад

First of all, it's "neither." And the difference is, I'M NOT PRETENDING TO BE A RAAF PILOT. Impersonating military personnel is illegal and generally unethical. This person needs to be stopped before they provide misleading information for their sake and others'. To call me a "troll" makes you quite hypocritical.

@mrtrusty101 7 лет назад

SilverLiningAviation. Hypocritical, yeah possibly but mate I called you a Troll because you're saying Headxhunter Lock isn't a Pilot, thats work of a Troll. Mate who are you to be saying "You're not a Super Hornet pilot" to anyone, does it really matter at the end of the day? The only reason I spoke up is because you commented on my post! People who normally criticize others video's are usually trolls(thats why I branded you as one). If you wouldn't say that to his/her face then don't say it at all is my modo.

I have always wanted to be a RAAF Fighter Pilot, i already have 6 hours of flying experience in a cessna 172 and know everything about flying. My goal is to finish my BE Hons in Mechanical Engineering and then move to Australia where i will live for sometime and then become a citizen and then join the Airforce and hopefully can become a fighter pilot and have the best job in the world :)

@goodshipkaraboudjan 4 года назад

Don't get many more hours. The RAAF won't except pilots with experience beyond ab initio training. They want to teach you their way and not waste time on you unlearning what you were taught.

I've always loved aviation as a kid, and always wanted to be a pilot for the RAAF, but sadly I'm pretty sure my colour blindness will restrict me. So I'm hoping I can either be an Air Combat Officer on the Super Hornet platform or an Airborne Electronics Analyst onboard the P8 Poseidon. Top video, gives you a feeling deep inside to just go out and achieve.
