I was there today, and out of all the flying displays the F-18 Super Hornet was my favourite! Couldn’t wipe the smile from my face! Loved every minute of the show!!!

I love hornets....but the raptor was mind boggling, especially if you have a grasp on what most jets can do in BFM.

At different lighting angles, you can see the pilot’s eyes. A lot of concentration there! Nice little detail showing the 1 Squadron emblem on the t-shirt under the flight suit. Go RAAF.

Great footage. Saw the show today, blown away by both the Rhino and the Lightning II. The RAAF showcase was fantastic showing off the capability of the fast jets and the other platforms (my son has gone to bed cuddling the little cardboard model C-17 he was handed)! Thank you for protecting our skies.

Very interesting to watch the nuances of what he does. After a prolonged positive G manoeuvre he's sure to pull some negative G, I assume, to push some blood back up to his head. This is clearly indicated by the little strap near his left shoulder. Such a physical job that anyone would just love to do. He's living his best dream. 👍👍🙏🙏
