I see them practicing moves like that right in front of my house (but mostly the f-18s), and because I am on a bit of a ridgeline that low curving pass is practically at eye level with my front balcony. Had stealth bombers fly past at a similar level of late, amazing stuff.
@@rotyler2177 Yes, and the B1s that were around a while back, I even have footage of a string of Ospreys curving right over the top of my place as they escorted Obama into Brisbane when he visited. Living near YAMB is like being at an airshow every day of the week. I don't make any of my footage public, haven't got the time to clear it with the neighbours and they have been good to us, they gave our family one of their retired military working dogs and she is wonderful, so I owe them.
Awesome. I live in Newcastle and we have seen the jets from Williamtown putting on a show just off the coast over Nobbys headland. Unreal to watch and listen too!
loved watching this last month i was on the middleish area of the beach and managed to record a good amount of footage of the jet not as steady as this though, good job!
Actually Jim, it’s half of that, about $36,000 per hour, but don’t let the facts get in the way. (and to put that in perspective the F-111 in the 80’s cost as much to operate)
You can tell this is an air show in nanny-state Australia and not the USA because the distance the plane is away from the crowd. Might as well watch it on TV.
Definitely not an air show. This is just off the edge of the city of Townsville, North Queensland. Directly behind the camera is a major city. The RAAF May have publicised that they would be doing a flyover and people knew when to be in that area, but it wasn’t an air show.
end of vietnam- the RAAF 'never again will we operate single engined aircraft...so we will absolutely not purchase the F16 over the F18...australia is too large to trust to a single engined front line fighter'...2015.. the RAAF..'well gentlemen, we need to choose between the lightning and the superhornet...lets get the lightning'. classic gubberment.
@@Smokeyr67 It's pretty easy to find the issues with supersonic flight,only VERY short periods before stealth coating AND structural damage issues. No good writing stuff if you know nothing about it.

What base is your house near?
@@declanrafter4470 sounds like it would be YAMB as he stated that he saw the stealth bombers.
@@AviationActionYSSY Thanks mate
Did you get any FOOTAGE of the B2??

The power and sound. I live in Townsville you should hear them coming in to land. Absolutely amazing..
I've been under one practicing, they sound awesome. Can hear and feel the power.

Its amazing that most people do not realize at those speeds most jets making the circle would be out of sight

Fuck mate, that's a dream worth fighting for.
Fantastic in 2022 but will be epic in 2023. Tomorrow Thursday 22 June at the Townsville Strand. Don't miss it!!
I will be there :)
Cool video, good filming!:)
Absolutely incredible 😎👍
Awesome. Thx for the video. 👍😁
Nice vid
Aust needs another 100 at least!!
Loyal wingman to fill the gaps?
May as well say 500. Random numbers are not logical. The aircraft is worth 4 x what a 4 gen capability is. Thats what matters.
400 then and we'll win. 🤪
I was thereeeee
WOW.
Now that's just showing off.
For a one engine aircraft they are deafening!!

Congratulations to the video guy. Most are crap and cant capture the feeling
At over 135 million a pop, it should be impressive
only the way to find out how capable it is, send it to Ukrainian
Costs $70.000 hour in the U.S
Actually Jim, it’s half of that, about $36,000 per hour, but don’t let the facts get in the way. (and to put that in perspective the F-111 in the 80’s cost as much to operate)
And in Australian Service, we budget about USD26k per hour...
Down below $25000 USD per hour in Australia. Don't let that stop you making stupid comments though.

Yeah, here's another one - th-cam.com/video/0CaQ5hcBiyU/w-d-xo.html - how wuzzie is that!

Don't let Zelenski see that. He'll be on TV with his little green T-shirt begging for that plane, and anything else we can send him. For free....
Tends to happen when a bigger more powerful country tries to rape and destroy another country. Maybe you should go over and have a look yourself
Just a junk fighter, we got screwed.
What are you basing that on?
Thats your professional opinion is it....? Its not even a worthy non professional opinion.
@@dat581 not battle proven like f18
Such a pity the S-500 already has a radar map of the ‘stealth’, courtesy of the Turks
Umm, the S-500 is an Anti-Ballistic Missile system. Last I checked, F-35A was not a Hypersonic or Ballistic Missile!
Just a pity it's an expensive dud,can't sustain supersonic flight,the "stealth coating" peels off,computer keeps shutting down.
I see you subscribe to the Air Power Australia line of miss information..
That's ok - it's Australia who does the RAM of the F-35 so continual re-coats keep the money flowing here
It's not a dud, it's actually very very good.

Amazing Russian su can dance around that F wile the F it's doing its "magic" after all vectoring thrust is Russian patents that USA & English copied
