      @@jockojockoson9995 Every pilot works their ass off to get any certificate, civilian or military. Better than everyone is a terrible term to describe a fighter pilot especially in the united states. There is a culture of fighter pilots talking shit to every other pilot as if they were on top of a mountain. Joking or not, imagine being able to fly the coolest planes in the world and having the audacity to bring down other pilots. Its opportunity that separates a military pilot from a civilian pilot, its opportunity. I want you to understand that.

    Having served in the RAAF for 18 years, a tour in Baghdad, Iraq at Camp Sather watching this Superhornet display at the Pacific Airshow actually had me in tears. This footage is brilliant as it also shows that inertia plays a massive part of being a jet Pilot. One of my jobs was an A/C refueller I’ve seen FA-18’s take the cable at night due to a PAN which in itself is impressive. I think I recall them saying this Pilot’s call sign was Woody…thank you so much for putting on such an amazing display and thank you for your service ❤️

I was sun backing on the top floor balcony facing the air field and these two 18's came screaming in one after the other very close together and low. The pilots put on a special show for everyone at the base.

It was maybe 30 metres out from where I was standing as it tore by. Just jaw-dropping, and quite surreal given the idyllic location.

    It is the first Event of a 10 year deal to host this show. $45 entry with a closed off precinct, food drinks and corporate areas for those wishing to be wined and dined. Unreal seeing as its still winter. 28 degs i believe. My neighbour whom i just had a beer with went there to have a look. Said it was a great day and well worth the cost. Next year for myself.

      Or you can just go for free and sit on the beach, no need to be in a marquee full of wankers.

      So you must have had a bad experience in the Marque full of wankers then?

    Airshow tickets sold out fast. so was very disappointed. The RAAF was the big drawcard for me. This is brilliant footage. Thank you for posting.

      You didn't need a ticket. Just stand on the beach, it was awesome. Come next year and bring the sunscreen!

    Great show, between this and Riverfire we're starting to live in the airshow capital of the world.

    Wow, that was the coolest video I've seen in a long time. You have to watch this on a big screen TV.
