More military action! These two Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 Hornets were here for the start of the Calgary Stampede, an annual rodeo and festival held every July in our fine city, and commonly receives flypasts from a pair of CF-18 Hornets. Luckily enough, I was already out when I heard that this pair was leaving. I've never managed to film a CF-18 Hornet departure like this, especially from as close a viewpoint as this. Enjoy this comprehensive departure video, including the pilots getting in, starting up both pairs of engines, taxiing out for a LOUD departure, with ATC included!
Thanks for watching!

Those take offs were so incredible -visually, sound and so smooth. Makes me proud to be Canadian! Thank you for this upload, cheers

@cobrar5161 5 лет назад

Right but bit slow especially the second one when it retracted it's landing gear and than it stumbled a little bit like it had bit less speed,I've seen other hornets take off and they were like rockets compared to this one.

@alexflores7652 2 года назад

Cool the 410 Squadron I remember working with them while deployed to Cold Lake AB during Maple Flag 2000. I was with the 4th FS 388th FW USAF.

@oldfriend327 2 года назад

It is amazing how great of an aircraft the Northrop YF-17 Cobra eventually became. It was an aircraft that lost a competition and soon after reborn again into the F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet.

@cobrar5161 5 лет назад

1:33 sounds like a mazda rotary engine.

@happypapi1903 2 года назад

That low-mid sound is common with most turbine engine startups. Back spools are spun up with bleed air from an APU or another engine or an electric motor, fuel is introduced and ignited, hot air accelerates the back spools which in turn spins up the front spools and the fan-disk or propeller and attached governor which brings in more air. That release of energy when the light-off happens is where that low-mid roar comes from. It only sounds like a rotary engine because of the distortion of the mic.

@brandor763 5 лет назад

3:42 that sound is like a fucking monster roaring. Love these planes.

@yxeaviationphotog 3 года назад

God....the APU starting on those is the best sound in the world.....well, that and the engines spooling up.

Beautiful, thanks. Almost got a little CF-104 howl there on start-up, almost.

@happypapi1903 2 года назад

That low-mid howl indicates ignition. I rampie for Q400s and we get a bit of that when the Pratt 150s light-off and the prop starts turning.

@maryrafuse3851 3 года назад

True, they can fly. Ask the Australians how they feel about the F-35. A very mixed reaction. Perhaps Canada's going slow is a good idea on this one occasion. The reimagined/revamped F-15 would cost the same as the F-35 and perhaps be better for our challenging climate conditions. Perhaps a mix of F-15's & Super Hornets?

@LanielPhoto 3 года назад

@@maryrafuse3851 - Lt Morrison now flying the same tail number (aircraft) that his father flew, and that his grandfather flew way back when first introduced. Most are flying on salvaged parts from hangar queens. F-15s as old as the F-18. Super Hornet much better but getting old also. Maybe we should just abolish our pretend fighter force and do nothing but transport and rescue. Oh yeah, and fly Trudeau around.

@jeffpaggett7274 6 лет назад

Always wonder if they pilots waiting that are in the WestJet planes or Air Canada are thinking - "Hey, if I didn't eat so many potatoe chips in school - I would have been in that f18 doing mach3 vs talking about seatbelts."

@Chuck59ish 5 лет назад

The Hornets aren't loud, I was an Aero Engine Tech on the old CF-101 Voodoos, the Cf-188 Hornets are quiet compared to the Voodoos, especially when the Voodoos flick their Bics to light up the afterburners, they could rattle windows a 1.5 kms away.

@maryrafuse2297 5 лет назад

Charles Damery you are correct. I attended airshows in Moncton NB in the 1970's when CF-101 Voodoos broke the sound barrier directly over the crowd. The sound was impressive.

@martinabest5801 5 лет назад

You haven't heard a bloody Vulcan. Now those were LOUD. The Brit's brought one over for the first Maple Flag exercise at CFB Cold Lake back in 1978. I remember some Voodoos coming up from CFB Comox for that exercise. They were loud too but the Vulcan beat them for sheer noise production.

@Chuck59ish 5 лет назад

@@martinabest5801 I still have my 8X10 photo of the Vulcan from the 1975 Abbottsford Air Show and in 1985 we had a Vulcan transitting through CFB Trenton on it's way back to England from Red Flag at Nellis AB outside of Las Vegas. We parked it refueled them and I left them a young French Canadian air women to help them, well she came back crying about 5 minutes later, so I rushed down to find out what the problem was, the aircrew was all Cockneys and they couldn't understand her either. They just wanted a stand so they could put their luggage in the nets in the bomb bay. They also a tour of the very cramped cockpit. The next morning they started up and got permission to do a fly by, it was a cool morning, so the engine howl was at it's best.

@OzzSabbath 5 лет назад

Love the CF-188 as it's officially designated in the Canadian Air Force, but it's time these old girls retire. They're getting or already past their service life. I hope the CF keep some for training purposes though.

@boogieperry8893 5 месяцев назад

Oohhh, they were heavy with fuel, beautifull to watch, ex RAAF?

@EricMarinko 3 месяца назад

Most likely not. While the RAAF airframes were to be upgraded along with the original RCAF airframes, I don’t believe they’d be installing the now superfluous left nose searchlight that are found on the original RCAF fleet, which you see on these birds when they hit the runway.

@badbunny1788 7 месяцев назад

Dear Mr. Alex Praglowski, the only fighter plane that's Politically Incorrect for the RCAF specifically.. The Two Solitude's, there is no translation from Canadian to Francophone of the werd "HORNET".. So to get around this.. The RCAF re-christened the F-18 Hornet to the CF-188, specifically to get rounds that issue, with the Frogs..... You didn't show it clearly enough for me.. Did the CF-188's startup on the own, internal, without the need from an external power source...?? That was me BIG take away from this Tube.. the F-35 can't due that..!!

@martinabest5801 5 лет назад

Pilots are taught in propeller aircraft first, before they graduate up to bigger aircraft. Only the very best get to fly fighter jets. Having said that, our air force also has a wide variety of aircraft for various tasks including search and rescue.

The F-18s don't need a lot of runway for takeoff and straight up to whatever height they want to go. Those boys were taking it slow and easy which they will do if there is a lot of other air traffic around.
