we know nothing compared to the U.s. have seen a U.s. Election, let alone an air show super bowl or Nascar race. We are penny-pinching Has been's.

Why thank you

Ian. S yes we do.

@@JasonBlack66 It's better then nothing mate

Yes we do!!! STRAYA BABY!!!!

Oh yeh there actually is

I guess that wasp was having the time of his life

At first I thought "How big of a nerd do you have to be to freeze-frame that and identify it?" Then I did it myself and you're quite right: it's a hornet-borne wasp 🦟

@@videowilliams You mean there's people out there who DON'T watch Hornet videos at 0.25x playback speed?

its actually from 2016 display. Raaf haven't shown 2019 cockpit video yet. But displays are pretty similar, so I used an old footage. Its all in the description section.

I heard they will be using 2 F-35 on Australia Day this year.

Yay

Cool

A camera!

Estelle Melodi Mitchell while the F/A-18 was developed for the US Navy and Marine Corps, and are carrier capable, that doesn’t mean they are limited to that use by other forces. So no I do not believe RAAF pilots do any carrier training as they wouldn’t ever have the need to. However it a pilot were to somehow transfer or get a role flying for the US Navy and had to do carrier operations then they would get the training then. Carrier landings, takeoffs and manoeuvres require a whole different set of skills and abilities and not all pilots are capable.

@@MeppyMan Yep definitely no walk in the park landing on the boat, I wonder if the hornets we have are even carrier capable or just cheaper variants since we dont really need to land on the carrier?

Bob Brown I don’t actually think there is any major difference in the airframe and landing gear between then, but I may be wrong there.

MeppyMan yeah the US navy hornets have beefed up landing gear for the hard landings on the carriers

@@bobbrown8661 They did have arrestor hooks. It was cheaper to build them with them than it would have been to design and develop a modification to delete them. As "Fastback" says they don't have the catapult tow bar.

You mean the RAAF.

Yes RAAF lol

@@vinceversinceAU Good luck mate!

@@anti-loganpaul7827 I still gotta wait a while tho lol bcuz I'm only 12

AndSo what

Well yeah, they're jet fighters, not jet pacifists! They're not going to deter wannabe enemies with hugs and kisses.

Aluminum Spars?

no steel in those wings dude, all aluminium composites, sorry for the americans, aluminum, and titanium alloys

High AOA or Low radius turns.

@@SuperSetright The ends of the wing also pivot upwards to enable better storage on carriers.

It was in the mountains I was there the jets were so loud they broke to sound barrier

@@queazyg3431 Lol yeah, I used to live in the mountains. But moved, but yeah at 10AM today I got woken up by these things aha.

Yep sure did.....I'm near Plumpton twice I heard them.....each time I ran to go outside to watch but they had gone by the time I got outside lol..

@@bs2502 Yep that happened to me

It’s illegal to have sonic booms above Sydney, probably that wasp from before

Not allowed to fly supersonic.

An comand he gafe probably but unnoticeable made

Australia is currently in the process of upgrading to the F-35.

It could have been the Japanese in world war 2, be thankful you dickhead.

AndSo derrrrrrrrr now how long did it take you to work out there military jets.

Shut the fuck up. They protect us from predators you idiot

They give you freedom and a platform to be able to prove that you are a fuckhead like you just have.
