Lest we not forget the crew that makes it all happen safely. Jul 4th celebrations.

Like a boss, haha.

I clearly can't tell the difference between my plum and strawberry jam cans :P

Looked like it had a little hook in the wing, but I really struggle to tell the difference.

For the link you posted, leave only the red text in between the YouTube handles and it will work.

 

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

When in doubt, look at the air intakes, huge difference

He's a good friend of my brother, they use to fly together back in the old days when they were student pilots.

For all you Central Europe/Central Eastern Europe based Hornet lovers out there:

 

There is an upcoming airshow in Slovakia (SIAF 2017 - Air Base Sliac 26. to 27. August 2017) with a Two ship Spanish EF-18 Hornets in the Flying Display !!

 

 

On Saturaday, the Hornet duo is even the first Jet appearance in the flying program atm !

 

 

https://www.siaf.sk/en/program-2207/saturday-26-8-2017.html

 

 

This will be my ultimate Hornet experience as spectator ; before I'll jump into the pit of the virtual example ;)

 

 

 

**** HYPE **** HYPE **** HYPE ****

 

 

cheers

If you've not watched Jetstream, I highly recommend it. It follows a class of fighter pilots as they learn to fly the CF-18 with 410 Squadron in Cold Lake.

 

 

 

Thanks for posting this. I'm watching it now and getting pretty pumped up for flying this bird. I'm way too old for the real plane, but with enough dedication and time, maybe I can do it virtually. No, not maybe. I'll do it.

 

Thanks again.
