So cool living in Brisbane during this - you forget that it's river fire that day and all of the sudden you hear fighter jets approach out of nowhere, and there's nothing else you can hear but the screaming of there engines. For a moment everyone in the city drops what they're doing and becomes excited like school kids with their eyes glued to the sky, trying to figure out where the sound is coming from.
It was even more confusing when they did their practice runs the day before 😂 Same effect though, hundreds of people standing still in the CBD, eyes glued to the sky
Lived there in 2005. The F111 did a dump and burn over the Story Bridge. Awesome.
We certainly miss the mighty F-111...
Utterly stunning!! Could watch these jets all day long.
I worked at Amberley for 4 years . You get a bit sick of the noise after a while
@@jamezxh My parents met at Amberley and luckily for me eventually married. The noise sent my father deaf so I know the sound of plane engines isn't for everyone. Thank you for your service.
Wonderful wonderful video, always gives me goosebumps,such an incredible sound.
I live so close to the CBD, by the time we hear from the planes they are coming around again. The scenes of Brisbane , are terrific , we are so lucky. Thank you , for posting.
That was epic - looked like you had the very best spot in all of Brissy!!
Without doubt, The Best Aviation Photography I have seen in all my viewing life Joel and I grew up at RAAF Amberley lol, the naked eye had no chance from ground level. Fantastic mate 💯
Cheers mate!
I think it's brilliant. Ozzies need a constant reminder of what our military provides us. God bless em.
Incredible flypasses over Brisbane on this F/A-18F Super Hornet 🤩😎
It was an amaizing site when tripple M put on the Brisbane sky show in the days of the F1 11 with after burner to open and close the show. MAN THAT WAS AWESOME
That’s a great location, and this video came out great with the different perspectives.
Great vantage point mate, fkn awesome vids. The boys would have seen you for sure…great work 💪🏻
DZ its been way too long between drinks, next Avalon for sure!
Amazing low level flying. It must have been a buzz for the F18 pilot.
What if it crashes.
Probably would explode, I guess 🥜
@@erfguuipo8084 It crashes and explodes.
Well-done RAAF...! Loved to watch these birds flying low.
Awesome!...thanks from across the ditch.✈️🇳🇿
Glad you enjoyed it!
this reminds me of when an F/A18A did a circuit over GAF and CAC in Port Melbourne and was below the level of the top of the pylons on the West Gated Bridge. It was a fantastic reward for the people who helped build them. the pilot evidently told ATC that he was taking no notice of them but acknowledged their concern.
I did my apprenticeship at ARL, and we went to Avalon to see one the first FA-18’s give a demonstration to all the workers and government officials. Great show it put on.
Ten out of ten for some fantastic follows. High energy aircraft are not easy to hold in frame. What camera support were you using?
Was just shooting hand held with a Panasonic GH5 with a Canon 24-105L up front...and just gave it my best crack at keeping it in frame haha. The trickiest part was as it banked overhead!
@@joelthomas007. I did wonder about that follow. You kept a steady hand and kept pace. Maybe you will aquire the moniker "Surehand Luke".
@@DARANGULAFILM haha cheers!
thank you for sharing this. So exciting, and you were in a great spot - wow
Glad you enjoyed it!
Living in Brisbane is awesome we get free air shows all the time
Nice camera work,keeping that bird in frame is a challenge,well done
Thanks
Cheers! :)
I was in the building just over behind the W for this. So cool.
Considering the RAAF base, RAAF Base Amberley is willing to contribute their services giving us the display we get every year I think we should be very grateful to the base as well as 1 Squadron (F/A-18F) 6 Squadron (EA-18G) and 36 Squadron(C-17) who give us some of the best displays during Riverfire.
Gotta love this and gotta love Brizzy ay.
Gee Brisbane has got big, look at that.
Amazing job nice spot you had there too!
These boys have our backs we need to see more of this .
Love the super hornet it's such a beautiful looking and sounding plane.
It's a great machine, and performs well in the hands of 1 SQN.
Its difficult to tell them apart from the Growlers, for the life of me I cant even find consistent photos of the two planes in a search to tell which is which.
Who needs the Mach Loop when you've got the Brisbane River and CBD. 😀
I’m impressed how easily the Hornet can turn.
for the $$ they should
I watches the F-18 Super Hornet at Karup in Denmark somewhat 6 years ago, and it´s an amazing performer. And creates a fantastisc amount of noise :-) It´s outperformed by lenghts by the F-22 though. But I dont think they´ve ever done any airshows outside the US.
@@janthomassrensen1065 Had them in Australia at Avalon air show.
I saw these airplanes everyday at amberly airbase
and I was there in Brisbane downtown at that time
But now I am in Korea, missed Brisbane!
When the jets were passing over my school all the teachers brought out everyone and we all sat on the field watching the jets fly over us
Beats school work for sure!
Sydney needs to do this as well on the harbour. Would be so sick!
Love the footage thanks for sharing - Hey did any of you guys get any footage of him inverted over Kelvin Grove just before returning to base? I got a single shot of it and couldn't believe me eyes from my vantage point on Cairns Terrace
Glad you enjoyed the video! That sounds like a cool site you witnessed, unfortunately we weren't able to catch that from our vantage point though.
We need more fly pasts like that in every city to show how our pilots can handle these aircraft
@@737simviator The pilots use these flights for training and to get the hours they are required to fly.
I love the Super Hornets. They have to be the most beautiful aircraft in the sky.
Hard to beat the F111 though with the dump and burn
@@peterlucey8282 Sadly the pig is no longer in the sky.
Would be great to see the F35s though.
@@kitdesilva fat amy probably can't turn with the river like the hornet does 😂
@@kitdesilva Wouldn’t give you much of a better display. Their strengths are radar, stealth and electronic systems, not so much aeronautics. They expect the fight to be over before they see the enemy. I don’t know for sure but I’d imagine a Super Hornet would out turn it.
He's flying that jet like it's a convertible going through traffic
it's a real shame the C-17 didn't make an appearance this year. but this is some incredible footage nonetheless.
Inside my head all I can hear is terrain terrain terrain. :-)
Great footage !
Cheers :)
What a beautiful sight in the best city in Australia
Somethings are just cool.
Riverfire fly pasts always tick the cool box!
Wow how did you get up on top of that building? did you have to get permission? I want to get on top of my wifes office building to watch this. She works at 1 Waterfront Place, next to Eagle St Pier. We look down on the planes as they go past from the 34th floor!
They looks like a ton of fun
Crikey that’s fully sick!
Awesome!
Best seat in the house! i wonder if the pilot saw you guys in that building…
1:06 I thought there was going to be a sonic boom when the Super Hornet flies past since there was no sound when coming towards the camera
Riverfire rocks!
Top Gun right there......🇭🇲🤘
5:58 A perfect shot to illustrate just how fast these jets can be "On your ass." You wouldn't think a jet that size could sneak up on anything. Incredible.
Haha what are you talking about? It was a cut shot
@@Lizard_Man666 if it's coming at you supersonic you'd have no idea till the weapons have dropped and the jets past
@@lachychops2 @Lizard Man 100%, if that jet is flying low through terrain and supersonic it would be on you so fast. It was a cut shot like you say but coming up from low like that is my point more than where the shot begins and ends.
@@kylecameron9772 Actually with a full weapons load at sea level the FA18 isn't able to reach supersonic according to the level flight envelope charts in the flight manual. 15k feet is the minimum to hit supersonic with a full weapons load out.
Also at best it can only have its afterburners lit for 12 minutes at 36k feet before it empties it's tanks so you can get something like 390km max range at full tilt
@@showmoreavail Learning every day. Cheers. I would have thought they were supersonic everywhere, whenever they wanted to be.
I’m surprised they r even allowed to do this now given it may scare some people these days and we don’t want that do we now great shots these guys r awesome
It would definitely scare people but most people would be aware about these events in the lead up, local information online and on the news as well as over the years everybody who lives in the area would have an idea this happens in the lead up.
We breed them tough in Australia
They've practised this event in the simulators and will usually practice a high show so away from people somewhere west of Amberley and up high to perfect their timing speed and approaches, to make sure everything is done correctly and complies with safety.
That’s so cool, go Brisbane!
While my council of Perth are the only idiots in the world to have canceled our red bull air race
I love living in Brizzie ❤️
Aussie pilots are the best.
Are they I didn't know that
@@odinikita4821 Well now you know eh!
My office desk is in one of those high rises it flew close to right up against the window no less, I was on a video call at the time needless to say I bricked .
Would be the highlight of the work day for sure though!
Would love to see this when the next one on
Almost as good as watching planes fly the Mach Loop
How come they are loaded with aims and sidewinders?
No sound for the last bit?? Or were the engines off?
There's no audio recorded on the slow motion segments.
@@aviationphotographydigest sorry i didnt realise it was slowmo
Those hours behind flight simulator final paying off.
Where are you shooting from? How’d one get there 👍🤣
So cool, wish I got to see it fly past me more than twice.
Anyone know what caused the spark @6:45 on the fuselage? Static electricity discharge?
That is water condensing due to low air pressure around the wings. Looks great in some of those shots. Wonder how those stills from the camera turned out. Nice lens he was using. Zoom adjustments would have to be fast.
I think that's just a rotating beacon.
Was just the tail beacon flashing. :)
i miss the f111 =( doing this
Bonkers.
How many pilots were looking at the bridge thinking hmmmmm
Cool
I dare them to go supersonic when they buzz the city low level the next time!
And break every window in the city?? I don’t think so…
@@stephenpage-murray7226 Hell yeah!! And dare them to go under the bridge as well!
@@stephenpage-murray7226 A myth th-cam.com/video/GvtAElaDVz8/w-d-xo.html
They did afterburner in F-111 jets.
They should be doing afterburner with the F-18 as well.
When the F-35 takes over there'll be no afterburner as the F-35 can't do that
@@zagan1
F-111 did a dump and burn. Neither F-18 or F-35 can do that but they both have afterburners.
Nothing beat the F-111 though.
How come their allowed to fly below d skyline…?
They've put in hundreds of hours worth of training for these flights, along with a huge amount of planning, to make sure it's completed safely.
4:50 that is so fkn cool
Much rather this than fireworks. I wish more cities would do this!! Allow the public to admire and wonder in the spectacle of these glorious angels that grace the skies thanks in part to our tax contributions.
Not the same without the f111 flame thrower
Time to come to Perth.
So good 👍
Fuck that awesome
Come to perth!!!
Three in formation would have been even cooler.
Now we get flooded with "FAKE!" comments when these videos and stills get onto Facebook.
Very Nicer . . . . !
looks like their actually armed.
Training missiles, they have blue stripes
@@lmj06 Nice spotting! i was aware training rounds were blue but assumed the whole missle would be blue.
@@jasoar1563 I thought the same thing. Our dummy missiles in the puss were always blue and I saw F-111s dropping blue bombs at a splash target 500 yards astern of us.
nice video, just bad luck with quality of light
Cheers, yeah can't play weather gods unfortunately.
Bloody hell !!! Dont let Worksafe see any of this. Those dickheads will have kittens seeing people without all the safety crap all over em. Nice video though ya lucky bugga.
Haha, that was my first thought when I saw big-rig a few feet from the edge without fall protection.
Pilots would have had helmets, long pants and gloves - no problemo
only in aussieland lol
Anyone knows the speed of the flybys?
About 600kmh along the Southbank leg and increasing to about 900kmh going into the pullup around Eagle Street and the Kangaroo Point Bridge.
@@IntrospectorGeneral Thanks mate! That’s pretty fast to zig zag around buildings!
Looks like a Set Up 2 me . RAAF 2 Aviation Photographer . We r going 2 Buzz Down Town Brizvegas in a few days . Can u set up 4 it . Yep .
Yeah of course they prepared for the flight, and it was advertised to the public so everyone knew it was happening. Your point being?
@@joelthomas007
Waste of Fuel , Time & Money.
Let's have some fun RAAF .
Get these fly boy upstarts out in2 the Community 2 assist with Flood Victims asap.
@@Robert-mn8gc what are they gonna do? bomb the water away?

pilot's gf in this building. XD
SNAKE CITY HAZE ...intercept the interceptors from G-canal ....
Not quite as impressive as the Globemaster flying an identical track.
Any chance they could practice their carpet bombing as well. They're gonna need it. Rorocs, Tasmania,
Training to herd you into well camps ? Just wondering.
Maybe another NATO push ?
You watch too much alex jones mate lol
Stay away from whatever nonsense you’re watching…
Yeah mate, as a few others have suggested here, you probably aren't getting the full story from the media you consume. Maybe time to ditch fox, oan, etc if that's the story you've been sold.

Well done to our Liberal government who purchased these impressive aircraft
Why you gotta make it political? Just enjoy the super hornets buzzing around
Yeah so did ours in Canada who have totally fucked everything else up...
@@kiloechocharliekool2151 you mean that left wing socialist leader you have now? 😂
@@maxt7525 Yessir we call him Turdeau, Castreau, Trudope, the Boy King, you name it.
How he hasn't been shot yet is a mystery...
@@kiloechocharliekool2151 In OZ Liberal means economic liberal. Somewhat like US Republicans but assumption of parallels would be wrong. Different if still in the same general direction. Capital with strong pentacostal influence. Edit: Yeah, I know I managed to mistype Pentecostal.
