Spanish Air Force EF-18AM HORNET at RIAT 2017 [*UltraHD and 4K*]

Spanish Air Force EF-18AM HORNET at RIAT 2017 [*UltraHD and 4K*]
Another awesome twin engined, afterburner equipped, fast jet at Royal International Air Tattoo 2017. Demonstrated by the Spanish Air Force.
An original 72 examples of the then McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet were purchased by the Spanish Air Force, deliveries of the EF-18 (E for 'España') commencing in late 1985. These have since been augmented by 24 ex-US Navy aircraft. Major upgrade work has significantly modernised the Spanish Hornets and Spain uses the aircraft, which was also given the local designation C.15, for both the air-to-air and air-to-ground roles. Ala 15, the wing providing the EF-18 for the Air Tattoo static display, is stationed at Zaragoza; it has three component squadrons.

Amazing demonstration, and very well filmed, I particularly appreciated that you don't keep zooming in and because of that we can actually appreciate and feel the aircraft speed and turn rate, well done.

[@EssentialRC]

Thanks Pierre 😊

[@antoniorodriguez480]

Wow, i have seen many hornets demonstrations, and this one is one of the best, loved how it behaved well at low altitudes, Really awsome demonstration!!!

[@peterevens7968]

Outstanding aircraft, excellent pilot skills!

[@dwizzleusa4202]

As American love watching other air Force demonstrations great pilot showing things this aircraft can do that other demonstrations might not show

[@ramjb]

A pilot able to hold a freakin' hornet like that at such AoA and at so slow of a speed deserves a freakin' standing ovation, not the "standard" clapping he received upon landing.
Now seriously, someone who's able to do that with a hornet...give him a Flanker, an EF2000 or a F-22 and he'll make you believe anti-gravity devices are a thing :P. Gotta find out who this pilot was because he's the real deal right there.

Thanks Daniel. I was really amazed how slow it flew in high alpha and the tight loops were awesome to watch as well. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
