  • I filmed all this in 1 day at the end of February! 42 passes in this video! Lots of humidity in the air for some good morning vapor! Sorry if some shots look shaky. I was experimenting with more zoom than I normally use.

    The opening scene of that F/A-18 has incredible clarity, and Dat F-15 with the yellow markings, absolutely badass paint scheme, cheers for the footage.

      The Rhino a the Growler are the best airplanes of the US inventory, they can do all sort of mission, fSEAD, CAS, Wlectronic Warfare, ground and maritime attack and off course, air superiority, especially the single seat version. I think that's why they have so many haters.

      While I wouldn’t say the F-18 is a bad looking or ugly plane, it’s not as elegant in flight as the F-15 or F-16 especially. Hands down the A-10 is the ugliest bird flying, but also one I have always loved seeing. That all said, I’d rather see a squadron of Hornets in the air than anything currently coming off the assembly lines. All that flip-flopping around in the air the 22 & the 35 do doesn’t impress me in the least. They look like fish out of water flopping around, if a plane is gonna make all that noise I’d rather is was fast disappearing into the distance.

    I've got to say out of every aircraft I have ever seen the F-15 still reigns supreme. Everything about it is about as perfect as you could ask for in a fighter - speed, maneuverability, looks, and just an overall commanding presence. It performs beautifully and is still one of the deadliest aircraft in the sky. Its combat record speaks for itself.

    I remember being 6 yrs old in 1991 and telling my parents I wanted to be a F-16 Falcon fighter pilot. This looks like the best job in the world. Both mentally and physically demanding, and nothing seems more free than being up in the sky cutting through the air just at the edge of the speed of sound. Some of the smartest individuals in the world fly these amazing machines. If I could have one wish fulfilled it would be to get to fly in one of these just once in my life.

    I get you, filming unexpected aircraft is difficult to film and shoot, I know that feeling. But the Eagle is still badass! Great work!
