Thank you for capturing all of this beautiful performance! I am still chuckling at your video of the F-18s crossing a road in Switzerland, with the help of crossing gates! Too much fun!
A bit like seeing a professional driving a classic car with manual "stick shift" instead of a modern showroom princess with programmed tricks set into the dashboard by the manufacturer. An excellent demo flight, Captain Zanata.
Very impressive! The Swiss put on the best display showing just how maneuverable the F-18 is!! Looks like he was flying an extra 300! Would love to see what they could do with the super Hornets.
Фантастическое зрелище! Красотища! Пилоты владеющие таким мастерством не имеют права участвовать в военных действиях!! Они должны летать и радовать людей своими полетами!! Thank you!! СПАСИБО!!🇧🇾😊
Such a dynamic display! Lots of skids, slips and slides! Really keeps the interest up. The alpha in some of those turns must be through the roof! Turn 'n burn baby! =)
So awesome from a legacy hornet. I worked on these aircraft in the mid to late 80s in the US MC. The super hornet is far and above this older version. Such great maneuverability without canards or thrust vectoring.
Far and Above? Maybe on Avionics and FCS's. I beat many Super Bugs in Mock over the years in A model Hornets ;) I will take an A or C model any day over an E/F model for actual performance.
Hands down my favourite display , it's well polished and so smooth. Plus it's unique to other f18s due to the software upgrade allowing it to perform incredible manoeuvres
Unable to make it this year (and it's my birthday today). Looks like a huge building program going on there. Also lived in Fairford for over 20 years, miss it!
Never underestimate a Legacy Hornet! A very good dog fighter in a WVR fight. Great nose authority with a really good flight control system. With a good pilot, a very tough customer.
I am trying to understand how I've never seen another Hornet do these maneuvers. I think I read about the Swiss Hornets getting software updates that remove AOA limits, but I'm not sure. Can all Hornets do these maneuvers, but they just aren't showcased properly? Our Canadian Hornets have never done such maneuvers in an airshow.
The Swiss customized the avionics with different AoA limits, I dont think a stock Super Hornet can do this. The MiG-29 probably cant keep up with the inherent superior nose authority of the F/A-18 either.
Sinceramente Como español qué ha visto bastantes exhibiciones aereas de EF-18M, puedo decir qué esta exhibicion area de Los suizos es la mas brutal que he visto nunca en un F18, las exhibiciones qué hacen los nuestros son aburridas comparadas con está. No sabia qué el F18 es tan agil hasta qué vi Este video 😮😳😮
Just like an F1 driver will modify and modify his setup. This pilot is one of the best in the world, and i dont know anything i just watched and..... yup, im seeing pinnacle flying there. You cant just dumb this down - what they are doing is tearing his/or her eyeballs out.
When you look at the bottom silhouette it reminds you of another plane? Yeah Northrop used the F-5 as a plan to building a large more powerful F-18. That's why they forgot about the F-20.
They must have installed some new firmware since I've watched my last F18 displays (granted: a long time ago) with all those sliding manoeuvres; almost looks like thrust-vectoring LOL
WOW what a display and cudos to the pilot!!! Ty Elwyn😊👍
Amazing!! That maneuver at 5:19 is truly incredible! Who needs thrust vectoring when you have a pilot like that!?
The plane.
The Swiss pilot's are brutal with the hornet, what an epic display!
Oh yes , the Swiss are good aren't they ? even more spectacular filmed in their mountains . shows the agility of the F-18 , Great job Elwyn !😍😍
A normal F18 cannot do this. This plane's computer was altered. Among other things, the AOA limits were changed.
@@wr6392 thanks for the info , the almost Sukhoi manoevering looks like tweaking of alpha limits - and on a legacy Hornet !
Best demo published so far. It still has structure, rhythm and showcases the hornet's high alpha abilities. Ticks all of my boxes.
Crazy maneuvers! Absolutely awesome, thx!
On this crazy demo, two stars ! The pilot and the cameraman.
Those Swiss display pilots really know how to put on a great show with the F-18.
WOW! He was tossing that plane around like a rag doll. Maverick has met his match. Hella pilot!
Its a great display!
the swiss know how to fly. No AOA limits hope they will be here this year
Fantastic and epic as always the FA18C SWISS HORNET DISPLAY TEAM
Thank you for capturing all of this beautiful performance!
I am still chuckling at your video of the F-18s crossing a road in Switzerland, with the help of crossing gates! Too much fun!
Ha yes! I should be back there later in the year!
Just to follow him in your viewfinder is already sooooo difficult. Such a great video Elwyn!
Spectacular display and superb filming. Many thanks for uploading this.
A bit like seeing a professional driving a classic car with manual "stick shift" instead of a modern showroom princess with programmed tricks set into the dashboard by the manufacturer. An excellent demo flight, Captain Zanata.
Love seeing a seasoned fighter pilot strutting his stuff,the Swiss are great and so is the F-18.Thank you Elwtn!
fantastic footage & awesome display
Thanks for the upload elwyn.one of the best F18 displays I've seen
Very impressive! The Swiss put on the best display showing just how maneuverable the F-18 is!! Looks like he was flying an extra 300! Would love to see what they could do with the super Hornets.
Yes, Swiss Air Force!
Elwyn you always brighten my day with your incredible videos absolutely amazing thanku so much love and God bless always x
Gut geflimt ... und ein absolut super Display!
1st class as usual Elwyn. I love the way he tail slides it into his next manoeuvre.
yes its a great display.
Best display I've seen in ages. Thanks for sharing 👍
Super camera-work 👌. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭🏴.
thanks
That nose authority on the super hornet is amazing.
This is the old legacy hornet. I would love to see what they could do with the super hornet.
AOA limits were altered on this plane.
Swiss custom avionics 😏
The new model is less agile than the legacy Hornet. The old one is better for dogfight.
@@scupking
Can’t help the goosebumps!!
Thank you for capturing this so well. I love seeing the legacy Hornet flown this way.
Фантастическое зрелище! Красотища! Пилоты владеющие таким мастерством не имеют права участвовать в военных действиях!! Они должны летать и радовать людей своими полетами!! Thank you!! СПАСИБО!!🇧🇾😊
Tu as raison! Encore mieux, il ne devrait n'y avoir aucune hostilité!:)
Thank you Elwyn. Proud of my compatriot F/A-18C Hornet solo display pilot!
Such a dynamic display! Lots of skids, slips and slides! Really keeps the interest up. The alpha in some of those turns must be through the roof! Turn 'n burn baby! =)
All my respect for you and your channel many thanks 💕 for all efforts God 🙏 bless 💕 you

They took some limitations out of the computer. Most significant the AOA limits were changed.
Watched it again. Superb camera work as always...
Outstanding display! Just lacked a classic hornet howl! Loved it!
Beautiful camera work!
What fantastic photography - brilliant job Elwyn!
Awesome as usual...
What a slick display 👏 thanks Elwyn 👍
Amazing ! Thanks for videoing the display 👍🏻
Awesome video of an awesome plane.....it truly amazing we have basically "retired" such a capable machine (F-22, F-23, etc)
Probably the most impressive display of instantaneous AOA I’ve seen in a non vectored thrust aircraft.
One helluva pilot. Those Swiss know how to fly those F-18's
The Swiss always put on a great display with the Legacy Hornet.
Well he throws that around, fantastic. So much better than typhoon displays.
Incredible Elwyn..
This was awesome. He was flinging it around like it was on vectored thrust. Didn't know RIAT was on this week. Would have love to have been there.
great thanks for all your videos. so all can be part of RIAT from at home.
That’s some great videography, love seeing the F-18 put through its paces. 👍✌️😎
Man ...the Swiss never disappoint
Hands down my favourite display , it's well polished and so smooth. Plus it's unique to other f18s due to the software upgrade allowing it to perform incredible manoeuvres
What a beauty 😍
That was one hell of a takeoff
Unable to make it this year (and it's my birthday today). Looks like a huge building program going on there. Also lived in Fairford for over 20 years, miss it!
Tremendous !
Nice Display, thanks for upload
Jesus Christ! He's flying it like it has thrust vectoring! 😯😯
Superrrrrrrb flight super jet qualities used by Super Pilot I don't know who was,were on the jet seat but.... I salutes for ?
The word of the day Tattoo, thanks Elywn.
Very impressive control
Super!
Best of Show sofar
Nice one Elwyn, wish I could do that with my neck!!!!!👍🏻👍🏻
😂😂
Nice video.😍
Thanks 🤗
I’m right now on the boat the England and then going to riat
@ 6:35 Woah ....
So amazing 🥰
Hey Elwyn, great video! Please can you tell me what video setting you have as I will be filming here tomorrow? ;)
I use a Sony ax53 at 100 frames per sec and the rest in auto
@@ElwynR Thank you, this will help me out ;)
Never underestimate a Legacy Hornet! A very good dog fighter in a WVR fight. Great nose authority with a really good flight control system. With a good pilot, a very tough customer.
If this pilot was against a f22 he'd win!
Wow! Best ever.
It's that great wing that does it. It's classic do all.
LOOK AT THAT NOSE AUTHORITY! 😳
Once again F A N T A S T I C...
The Swiss Air Force did an upgrade on the software of the F18. It does makes it more agile.
That nose authority though!
Superb aircraft flies more like a 5th Gen fighter 👌🏽
i lost my hearing at the take off but was worth
I am trying to understand how I've never seen another Hornet do these maneuvers. I think I read about the Swiss Hornets getting software updates that remove AOA limits, but I'm not sure. Can all Hornets do these maneuvers, but they just aren't showcased properly? Our Canadian Hornets have never done such maneuvers in an airshow.
Would like to know if a Super Hornet can compare to the shown manoeuvres. Only MiG-29 better?
The Swiss customized the avionics with different AoA limits, I dont think a stock Super Hornet can do this. The MiG-29 probably cant keep up with the inherent superior nose authority of the F/A-18 either.
Beautiful display...Just wish Britain would have chosen the F18 over the F35,its a more spectacular aircraft...!!!
Some call it 'Swiss Vectoring'. 😏
FANTASTIC, as f it had TVC !!
Probably the most overlooked 4th gen Western Fighter
Who needs thrust vectoring? Superlative display.
Sinceramente Como español qué ha visto bastantes exhibiciones aereas de EF-18M, puedo decir qué esta exhibicion area de Los suizos es la mas brutal que he visto nunca en un F18, las exhibiciones qué hacen los nuestros son aburridas comparadas con está.

How does the Marines and US Navy are flying the Hornet?🤔😎
2:08
Swiss
Mic drop
Amazing what altering the AOA limits will do.
Just like an F1 driver will modify and modify his setup. This pilot is one of the best in the world, and i dont know anything i just watched and..... yup, im seeing pinnacle flying there. You cant just dumb this down - what they are doing is tearing his/or her eyeballs out.
And he left the cobra-like maneuver and controlled flat spin out this time.
When you look at the bottom silhouette it reminds you of another plane? Yeah Northrop used the F-5 as a plan to building a large more powerful F-18. That's why they forgot about the F-20.
Great display...russian style !
They must have installed some new firmware since I've watched my last F18 displays (granted: a long time ago) with all those sliding manoeuvres; almost looks like thrust-vectoring LOL
and he's doing that on a basic 40 year old F-18a/c......
Very solid HN-display. Still not better than ukskoski back in 2019 tho😎
