Breathtaking and wonderful

[@judithbyrne4928]

Sound is terrific 😮😮😮

[@a24-45]

It is indeed heartstopping to see any plane that is not taking off or landing, appearing to fly BELOW the roofline of a skyscraper. Nice footage.

[@OnlyPlanesNetwork]

Far below the roofline, afterburners on heading straight at buildings is truely heart stopping!

[@The4AussieAviators]

It's crazy how agile that C-17 is! It can roll so quickly!

[@Aspen51]

The "Churn & Burn" from the old F111 that used to fuel dump...... miss that pig.....

[@OnlyPlanesNetwork]

You and me both aspen. What a sight that was 🙌🏻

My phone wallpaper is 30sec exposure of F-111 dump and burn at night at Riverfire taken from Kangaroo Pt cliff.

Breathtaking 😮😮😮

[@TheRealNZAviation]

Wow wish I was in Brisbane then

[@awf6554]

I didnt know about C-17s until I saw one taking off when I was boarding a plane. I was gob-smacked by the majestic way it floated into the air. The C-17 straight away became a favourite plane.

[@OnlyPlanesNetwork]

The C-17 has been a long time favourite for me as well. The Riverfire aerial display is about as close as you can get to one as a spectator 🙌🏻

[@lizmallard7158]

You have to live and admire the skills of our pilots.imagine the doing something like this in the USA oh my goodness.

Thanks mate

[@chevypurdie8294]

Nice video, but to clarify, this isn't an F/A-18, it's an EA-18G Growler

[@AJS86]

Are you sure? I couldn't tell from the video.
Maybe can just make out ECM pods on wingtips.

Wonderful extraordinary plane!

[@judithbyrne4928]

Fantastic,love this plane❤❤❤

[@stuartmcpherson1921]

Camerawork not too bad. Rehearal good time for recording as crowd not so big. If this was during actual show you would have seen me on my boat. During the show the Growler had lot of condensation on the wings which looked gtreat.

[@brissylion7066]
