At different lighting angles, you can see the pilot’s eyes. A lot of concentration there! Nice little detail showing the 1 Squadron emblem on the t-shirt under the flight suit. Go RAAF.
I was there today, and out of all the flying displays the F-18 Super Hornet was my favourite! Couldn’t wipe the smile from my face! Loved every minute of the show!!!
That would have to be one of the best clips I have seen on TH-cam. Pilots face, ground, clouds, speed and clear vision. OK I am an Aussie too. Be there Sunday.
Great footage. Saw the show today, blown away by both the Rhino and the Lightning II. The RAAF showcase was fantastic showing off the capability of the fast jets and the other platforms (my son has gone to bed cuddling the little cardboard model C-17 he was handed)! Thank you for protecting our skies.
Big shout out to the boys in the squadrons who keep these things in the air 24/7! & To their families who support them behind the scenes! Your service is appreciated!!!
@@DaveWhoa I couldn’t agree more!!! At some point we will wake up. In my head it feels like we’re letting our allies bare the cost of safety. Thanks I guess!
@@bendavis6530 and we're seeing it now with Ukraine for example - they want F-16 jets, but just the training alone for those is 18 months ... that's a lonnng time to wait if your country is under attack. Invest in deterrence today so we don't need to fight war tomorrow
Oh that right the former pm doesn't like any mil . She wouldn't even let a nuke class US carrier in to her waters.. (unless nz was attacked then it would be ok.) Australia is not much better. We wait for something to happen then go "oh crap". But it makes the loopy left and the greens happy . We will never learn
Thanks for this, RAAF. A better view than I would've had from the ground, and I didn't have to sit four hours in ground traffic. 👍👍 (Actually, the highway traffic looks OK at this time. 😊)
In 2011 I took my son to Avalon to support his interest in an Air Force career. That's him you can see in the video. Dreams really do come true. Not sure of your age, but Air Force Cadets is a great place to start your investigation.
@@longslongprong lol, assuming some of the 6-8 production SU-57s( there are more prototypes which are less capable) could get airborne, given Russian maintenance problems, maybe they could be a problem if they could actually get that close. My money is on their stealth not being anywhere near as good as they claim, therefore making them a target way sooner.
@@longslongprong Yeh mate, the russians have totally proven how capable they are as a fighting force, as they enter day 369 of their 3 day 'special operation'
@@longslongprong Russia couldn’t ever capture Ukraine after 3 days what make you ever think su 57 stands a chance a against a super hornr let alone a f35
I went to the show with my 8 year old son ,he was so impressed with the show and planes ,he told me like every other kid I want to become a fighter pilot ,I hope and pray to God his ambition comes true God bless👍👍👍👍👍.
I went yesterday. F-18’s we’re my favourite along with the Mustang and F-22. It’s crazy how quiet it sounds from inside the jet compared to the outside.
It is truely an honour to view such an AWESOME display of everything that is our home, TALENT & country.. 💓 🌅 I thank you All with heart felt appreciation 💪🔥💨
I had a 'session' on one of the Super Hornet simulators at RAAF Amberley in 2009 (I think). 6 SQDN had received two at that stage and the F-111's only had another couple of years left. Had a go at the F-111 simulator too.
@@a.khanage4599 The guy who put me through the F-111 simulator was a Squadron Leader with a big moustache. I think his name was Mike (or Steve). The chap who guided me on the Hornet was Luke Warner who was the navigator on the F-111 that belly landed there a few years prior. My daughter was working with 6 SQDN and arranged all this for me.
Very interesting to watch the nuances of what he does. After a prolonged positive G manoeuvre he's sure to pull some negative G, I assume, to push some blood back up to his head. This is clearly indicated by the little strap near his left shoulder. Such a physical job that anyone would just love to do. He's living his best dream. 👍👍🙏🙏
Was this a low display due to the cloud cover? Noted the absence of the pirouette usually seen in the US Navy Super Hornet TACDEMO or does RAAF not do that manouver in their Hornet display?
Amazing how you can see just how the pilot's suit forced blood to the pilot's head in high G-force maneuvers (to stop him passing out), can literally see the whites of the pilot's eyes go red then return to normal after in some moments.
Didn't realise everywhere looks so brown like a desert around Avalon during summer, and doesn't look comfortable sitting inside a fighter jet cockpit 😄
It's called the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS). Theres not a ton of info out there on it, but it does have a integrated HUD, and can be used as a sensor of interest (SOI) allowing the pilot to quickly move the targeting pod to a line of sight position, or indicate where the targeting pod is looking, among a plethora of other weapons and critical information.

I love hornets....but the raptor was mind boggling, especially if you have a grasp on what most jets can do in BFM.

you mob have tonnes of fun
Love yerrs heaps
This was simply amazing to watch down on the ground in person! My daughter won't shoosh about it 🤣🤣
Negative G's looked good, that strapped helped highlight them.
Shoutout RAAF for doubling up as the actual RNZAF since we have no jets 😢😂❤

(Actually, the highway traffic looks OK at this time. 😊)
It was fine. About 35 mins from exiting the highway to parking. Absolute breeze leaving
Got to see today's display, absolutely phenomenal! Go RAAF!
It was great to watch this display from both the grand stand and the cockpit view. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, loved watching this display, definitely going to join the Air Force in the future. Hope to one day fly one of these magnificent warbirds!

God damn! Absolutely incredible and so loud!
Absolutely amazing! 👏🏻

I gotta tell you, you look real cool sitting on the runway ready for takeoff. The anticipation is insane. Great job, I loved your work
best 16 min of my evening. Thank you Sir.
Love the way they stare at things
Just awesome, thanks for sharing.
Love your work RAAF! Always exciting to watch. ❤
Fantastic the effort put into situations; awareness: demonstrating all the best habits.
It is truely an honour to view such an AWESOME display of everything that is our home, TALENT & country.. 💓 🌅 I thank you All with heart felt appreciation 💪🔥💨
Just hooked up to a Bose BT Speaker!! Oh my! Rocket! Oh this puts viewing in an extraordinary pleasant perspective... 🔥🔥
My back injury prevented me from making it to the show again this year. Thank you so much for uploading these videos, feels like I was almost there
Every display has been great this weekend !!
Love this, our RAAF rocks 👍
Totally awesome well done stay safe and thanks
Strong 💪🏻😉
Nice work mate I love it 👍🏻❤️🇦🇺❤️🌹
Was there on this day and it was amazing!
It'll be a long road but no matter what, I am going to get to this point. Per Ardua Ad Astra!
Good luck. Hope you get there.
Good luck mate i wish you the best! We are all gonna make it!
Best of luck mate. You’ll be in the skies and I’ll be on the seas 😁
Thnks for this it gives a different prospective
🫡 Amazing flying skills thank you for sharing!
A nother day in the office thanks RAAF your the best
I was at the show and it was a blast
Ah so it was YOU who took off right in the middle of my powerpoint presentation. Gave me a couple seconds to read my notes :)
its just wonderful how they do this
This is why I want to be an airforce pilot 😎😎😎
I was there today with my son, and it was so awesome….
I went to Avalon 2022, amazing show from the air force
This is now a new favourite vid of mine. I just wish it was over Sydney Harbour
Awesome stuff!
I was at the air show myself. Loved it.❤
Brilliant!
We need more of these...👍
SOO COOL!
Well that's amazing never seen that be4 so quite in the cockpit
I loved seeing thses things fly
Saw this today at Avalon today. 10/10
My wish is to get to Avalon and Wanaka airshows one day. Been to Temora and Skyrace Tasmania a few times and loved it.
its rather cheap mate, well worth it too
I wish I could've gone to this! Maybe next year.
Wonderful video
You can't beat a hornet display!
Wish the RAAF would come back to play in NZ
Where’s NZ?
@@firstnamelastname-ys3mz South western pacific ocean.
3:32 Always do a head check, by turning your head and looking over your shoulder to see the blind spots, just before you change lanes.
Fascinating
It's quite impressive.
The Hornet always steeks the show with those two engines.

Yes..Some are more fortunate than others 😁 I believe I am now blessed & or extremely obsessed.. 🤩
That low pass was frickin awesome
This is amazing!!! Always loved this over geelong but this is amazing!!!! Should of joined the air force
nice it was great from the ground too
Doesn't get any better than this. Amazing. Thanks for the video.
I'm going tomorrow. Better not spoil it :)
Did like the carrier break.
Props to the Go Pro mount for handling the G's.
Beautiful Victorian weather.
Best of the best.
got a little pov from the visor reflection too

P.S so glad you guys are defending Australia 👍.
good work techos
Hands down would be THE best job in the world!!!!
I never noticed the leading edge of the wings moving before
Best Job in the World!
insane
I got a picture of this place where I could see the pilots from my back verandada😊
Can you please do a forward view next time?
Much appreciated in advance.
Love from Newcastle!
I like to watch how the slats works automatically with every manoeuvre.
I had to leave just as I started seeing this Fighter take off. :(:(
Still got to see the rest of the show before which was still cool. :)
Super Hornets are the coolest looking warbirds ever

Yes
"Turning on final. Coming around to a seven-zero-niner. Terminal guidance locked in. Where's the damn beacon?"
It was good
The pilot seems to be adjusting himself a lot in the seat, I thought the pilot would be more secure in there.
Was that from Weds? I don't recall seeing the missiles on the Hornets on the Friday.
Who is the young lad in the cockpit? great piloting skill. Well done sir.

Would love to see a euro fighter here one day on display
I'd love to know more about that vizor, the weird shape and only sometimes transparent, built in HUD?
Great stuff.
It's called the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS).

@@stevenfeser4907 Thanks mate.
I think ii costs something like $250k US. Worth every penny if it gives our pilots the edge. And the edge in survivability..
Similar to a hud however its not a head up display its a head mounted display HMD pretty interesting stuff I'd advise you look up some stuff about it
@@dartheveloper5449 that is correct, it is a HMD rather than a HUD, but for simplicity, I usually explain it as a HUD due to the information overlay being nearly identical.
