F-18 #735, 776, 785 and 767 are stationed at Cold Lake Alberta, Canada. In my mind these pilots are the creme de la creme of Canada's military and I am proud to be Canadian.
Great experience by the look of it. I've only ever seen F18's in at PIK once, maybe about 8 years or more ago. I have slides (anybody remember analogue cameras...?), of a pair and a refueller. They took off the following day, but the weather was terrible, and although I managed to see them leave I could'nt take any photos. My lasting memories of the day are the afterburners and the noise. I've never heard anything like it!
Be sure to post the Canadian Lancaster landing and taking off from there should she be taking that route to the UK. I understand she left Hamilton, Ontario on Monday Aug 4th 2014. So keep an eye out and an ear on the radio for her so you can get some good footage
I think the one to which you are referring (Black marking in the center of the v stab) is the OP Lebiceo (sp) Herme with a sword and shield. They were painted on following completion of the deployment and return home. There were no squadron crests present for active deployment (I removed a few of them myself). Cheers
Nice of Scotland to lay on a bit of weather for departing visitors. Did any other photographers present upload their footage of the day without the stills interrupting the main moments?
I got a kinetic model kit still in box whenever I get around to it being from Ontario I have a soft spot for the cf188 paint scheme I really dig the two tone grey, also it is such a shame that the Boeing deal fell through for super hornets as they would be the next logical step for a stop gap measure maybe get 30-50 super hornets easy to train existing pilots. Anyway ... great video .
A bit less movement on the camera, or just slow the movement down while zoomed in, and us happy viewers wont get too seasick!! Great footage though, did you see the series "Jetstream"? Its about some guys training to become CF18 Pilots in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Its really good in HD. Brian :)
We might need to borrow some next time we are in the shit lol. I have seen them for real when I served in Afghanistan, people may mock for a laugh but Canada has some fine Armed Forces
@hh1n Panasonic SDT750 fullHD camcorder. 5.1 surround mic onboard - works pretty well. Home made deadcat to cut out wind noise. Old model now Pana SD900 is the newer model.
I see these cf-18s at airshows all the time but to see them here ready for a long haul with all that fuel it's a wonder they get off the ground lol. With the tankers I would imagine they refuel a few times over the Atlantic
depends on which they go ... england and goose bay or japan and BC .. but they generally will do 1 before a stop over if they are urgently needed then 6 to 8 times and they are ANYWHeRE in the world in a day and a bit
I watch this every now and then, would have loved to been there to see it in person ( rain and all ), a fine job. Yep, we are small in numbers and really, who gives a rats ass, but they train very hard to fly among the best.
those would be bagotville pilots they are used to seeing plane spotters along he runways ... cold lake not so much since the closest ting to them is several hundred miles away (thats of any decent size)
+Gerald Stroppa you have no idea do you the eurofighter typhoon is our best choice it beats every other aircraft in almost every catagory, speed, supercruise, range, reliability, modularity, turning radius, operational lifespan, thrust to weight and much more
Gerald Stroppa fuck man. relax with the salt. i didnt come here to ve called a twit. so either you research (not on wikipedia) the aircraft that are up for choice. the griphen. eurofighter. rafale. super hornet and f35. and look at which is the most capable or frigg off
pity those werent the avro arrows we could have had ... and it was a Gen 2 fighter interceptor not a gen 5 like these ... and it was their better back in the 50's ... funniest part in 3 days feb 20 2022 it will be 63 years since they were cancelled from production ... and still NO PLANE made matches their designed specification ... and no plane today can say they dont have some part of the arrow design as part of them since it had 15 of the firsts of fighter jets ... and those are STILL in use today ... . for those who dont KNOW ... the arrow was never PROTOTYPED ... the cook-craige method was direct to product and 37 of them were on the floor ... 6 flyable 5 flew ... and the 5 that flew with the P&W j75 were exceeding expectations by 5% while the ps13 Iroquois engine was expected to beat those engines by 15% as well ... that's right a nearly 70 year old design and it was capable of MATCHING the sr71 in speed AND altitude ... added benefit it was armed and the sr71 was not ... another fact as of March 19th 1959 the sr71 was still a swept wing design and about to be scrapped then they got about 15 avro engineers in and poof it went from swept to delta and actually passed qualifications ... thats right americans the vaunted sr71 was a success because of Canadian Engineers .. NOT american ... look at the old sr71 footage as its being built in the background of the documentary film you will see avro engineers working on the sr71 ... as they had the experience dealing with titanium and high mach aircraft ... sadly we had a prime minister who decided his pride was more relevant than a countries pride. . kind of like today when ass hat the clown thinks he IS the law ... he will soon find out he is in for a storm of backlash if he keeps kissing american and rich corporate fanny
Nice video, but I have to be honest, when I watch a video I want to see it unfold as videoed, not interrupted by still shots while the video is running behind it. Ruins the mood!
Canada was generous for sending 7 cf-18 and 2 a-310 tankers for a country that is known to be one of the most peaceful nations on earth, I guess we had no choice to participate being part of NATO
I think they arm them once they arrive in Europe. During the air campaign over Libya, the Allied Jets had to take off from bases in Europe, bomb targets in Libya then go back to Europe. Also, I lived in the Philippines for 13 or so years and while there, Filipino F-5 jets were use extensively in strike missions against Islamist terrorist and rebel groups in Mindanao but when they weren't in action, the F-5s were only seen unarmed with fuel tanks only. They arm the aircraft's weapons just before they go into action. Not all the time. Note that Canadian jets were involved in combat missions over Libya so they would have had to be armed (otherwise they're just flying targets for Gaddafi SAMs).

Thanks for filming our military.....we may not be big but we are always there to support our allies!!!
What a really nice video. It's not every day, ppl care to film Canadian fighter jets. I love this.... The sound + video is awesome
You could post the pictures later, instead of putting them on the damn video!
Love seeing these at the CFB Borden airshow. Best part of the show.
Glad to see people appreciate our military, we're always there to back our allies!
+CheebaCheebaa Not now that another Trudeau is the PM.

I don't exactly know how to describe the feeling of aircraft taking off...lost for words.

Really cool footage! Big supporter of the Canadian Air Force, would love to see more postings!
Could have been a great video. And then you had to impose still shots during the action part of the video. And you killed it.
Be sure to post the Canadian Lancaster landing and taking off from there should she be taking that route to the UK. I understand she left Hamilton, Ontario on Monday Aug 4th 2014. So keep an eye out and an ear on the radio for her so you can get some good footage
Fantastic!!

Why do you have pictures pooping up when the jets are taking off? You shouldve waited till the end to include them
Nice shots! What camera are you using? The sound is amazing, and I'm looking for something for X-mas!
Thanks for posting, by the way!
Great video. Now wait until you see our new Super Hornets!!!!!
I really want a fleet of 90!
Four years later - still not happening.
The A310 is known as CC-150 Polaris. They have got to be one of the most comfortable military transports.
I got a kinetic model kit still in box whenever I get around to it being from Ontario I have a soft spot for the cf188 paint scheme I really dig the two tone grey, also it is such a shame that the Boeing deal fell through for super hornets as they would be the next logical step for a stop gap measure maybe get 30-50 super hornets easy to train existing pilots.

3:31 nice little wave :)
Hi, your Facebook group isn't being found by search. Did any of you get a close high res pic of the mission tail markings?
Nice video BTW.
Boy they looked HEAVY getting off that runway...loaded with fuel obviously
@Saguanay
Scottish Aviation Photographers
Here is a link to those mission markings. They are under the cockpit not on the tail.
Nice Jim, maybe next time il skive school! :-D
@RockerDaddyTazz
You are most welcome Bruce!
YEAH GO CANADA :D I LOVE THIS COUNTRY
The whole Canadian Air Force right there.
Naw, we have a helicopter too.
nah, nah maybe 3 fourths of our hornets and half our mid air refueling craft but what about our hundreds of helicopters
About 3 fighters more than us.
***** they navy has 80 super hornets *per* nimitz class cairrer 98 f22 while only 65 of about 100 of our hornets are combat ready
We might need to borrow some next time we are in the shit lol. I have seen them for real when I served in Afghanistan, people may mock for a laugh but Canada has some fine Armed Forces

i hate planes but watching them take off and land...if im not in them is cool.
PROUD TO BE CANADIAN X3
Cool I actually worked on two of those aircraft, , maybe three, I know 735 and 785...
Did you notice one F18 had air to air missiles on it. For a safe trip home.
look at first 18. under right wing what is that mounted next to fuel tank. the other two don't have anything there.
@@amasterbater not for a trans atlantic flight
worldwide, the Canadian fighter pilots will be always available to countries who need them
@italo36
Absolutely - thanks Canada!

I think the tail markings the fella was asking about on the tail are for 425 Allouette squadron out of Baggotville Que.
Braveheart fighter pilots from around the world
i liked how some of the pilots waved at the spectators
those would be bagotville pilots they are used to seeing plane spotters along he runways ... cold lake not so much since the closest ting to them is several hundred miles away (thats of any decent size)
Canada needs Super Hornets, talk to your federal MLA
+Gerald Stroppa you have no idea do you
the eurofighter typhoon is our best choice
it beats every other aircraft in almost every catagory,
speed, supercruise, range, reliability, modularity, turning radius, operational lifespan, thrust to weight and much more
What do you know twit, what you read?? I worked on military aircraft, what are you qualifications to flap your gums on here???
Gerald Stroppa fuck man. relax with the salt. i didnt come here to ve called a twit. so either you research (not on wikipedia) the aircraft that are up for choice. the griphen. eurofighter. rafale. super hornet and f35. and look at which is the most capable or frigg off
You still no nothing, not everything is in a book or internet duh
There are no federal MLA's, only provincial. I think you mean MP's.
nice video.
Why shows stills and block the live action? We can pause your vid if we want a still. Otherwise nice vid.
Doesn't let me post a link!
Goto fightercontrol co uk and search for "Canadian Invasion"
still doesn't answer my question why you're following me :|
the A-310 is called Polaris :D
@CrazyMelaizi
Good idea ;-)
Aye Jimmy...The RCAF's home away from home...Scotland's back up airforce!
nice trails of wings
Nice camera work. I didn't see any need for the still shots, but they didn't bother me the way some of the really picky viewers were commenting.
CF-18 early 80 tech! Nothing come closes F-22 RAPTOR!
Top Gun Tech!
sure you gonna pay for them...................I thought not

.
for those who dont KNOW ... the arrow was never PROTOTYPED ... the cook-craige method was direct to product and 37 of them were on the floor ... 6 flyable 5 flew ... and the 5 that flew with the P&W j75 were exceeding expectations by 5% while the ps13 Iroquois engine was expected to beat those engines by 15% as well ... that's right a nearly 70 year old design and it was capable of MATCHING the sr71 in speed AND altitude ... added benefit it was armed and the sr71 was not ...

no problem ;)
Which cam is it ?
Nice video, but I have to be honest, when I watch a video I want to see it unfold as videoed, not interrupted by still shots while the video is running behind it. Ruins the mood!
Those are all the fighters we ave in Canada lol
just a little clueless aren't you
I was in the US Navy
its a regular hornet... and to be technical its a cf-188a
I like the vid, but the popout pictures are really distracting. Nice vid anyways.
nice
i think they are fully loaded so long takeoff
by the way those are external fuel tanks not bombs
Great video, although as beautiful as the still shots are, I hate that they take away even a second of the video. Great job otherwise
South porcupine lake landing there park there sleep there be here be there coming in there tonight
Canada was generous for sending 7 cf-18 and 2 a-310 tankers for a country that is known to be one of the most peaceful nations on earth, I guess we had no choice to participate being part of NATO
and happy to do so!
looks like an A300 airbus to me.
i know X3 just clarifying that there is difference between hornets and eagles XD
You ruined this vid with them pics
Why cover the film with photos, ruined an otherwise good video
CF-18 Super Hornet not an F-15 eagle -.-
It's a CF-18 Hornet not a CF-18 Super Hornet
actually a CF-188
all your doing is making assumptions of people, thats called "Prejudgment"
Shut up little girl you never serve
@@francesbeaver6174 hmmmm now that's just shyte
or f-15 super hornet
Where was this, bribe norton?
im Canadian and im shy if you see that. that`s plane is un fucking shit.
8 years ago when you spoke they were the bulk of the USN's aircraft................................so
im from Canada, this plane is a fucking shit. i saw in Bagotville CF-18 born in 1979, we need C35
hope your planning on buying another aircraft soon after......................
hush i know my aircraft better than you do probably.
Sorry brize norton?
What a waste of money. Long range fuel tanks and not armed at all. It's all show. My taxes wasted again.
The are following the PM and should be armed.
Beerrunner81 What makes you think they're with the PM ? The Airbus is their refuel and support aircraft.
I think they arm them once they arrive in Europe. During the air campaign over Libya, the Allied Jets had to take off from bases in Europe, bomb targets in Libya then go back to Europe.
Also, I lived in the Philippines for 13 or so years and while there, Filipino F-5 jets were use extensively in strike missions against Islamist terrorist and rebel groups in Mindanao but when they weren't in action, the F-5s were only seen unarmed with fuel tanks only.
They arm the aircraft's weapons just before they go into action. Not all the time.
Note that Canadian jets were involved in combat missions over Libya so they would have had to be armed (otherwise they're just flying targets for Gaddafi SAMs).
why would anyone arm for a trans Atlantic movement. A completely useless and unnecessary exercise if armed
You need to work on your camera work. Your stability is awful.
and seriously no one cares.
