This was simply mesmerizing to watch! What a beautiful paint job on the plane, as well.

Thanks :)

[@jeffreywilson3286]

Great video, Ernest, Cheers

[@ErnestGutschikAviation]

Thanks a lot Jeff!

[@amrickdhillon1283]

Your camera work makes this look like a sim! And this pilot is phenomenal

[@ErnestGutschikAviation]

Thanks. It’s a new style I’m trying out and I love it. Yes, Tango did a hell of a job!

[@amrickdhillon1283]

@@ErnestGutschikAviation Keep doing it, I think it looks amazing! Every so often, zoom out on the high-speed passes so we can get a sense of how fast it really is. We all look forward to seeing more, Ernest!

[@airshowfanshk8140]

nice 👌

[@ErnestGutschikAviation]

Thanks!

[@NicoleGirard-s4l]

I am proud to say that Caleb Robert “Tango” is my soon to be husband❤ I am always so proud of him

[@elation8101]

I should have just gone to this one instead of the money grabbing London Ontario airshow that I can't even enter without paying $100+

[@ErnestGutschikAviation]

They each have their perks and benefits. I do agree London is a bit of a cash grab but their lineup is well worth it along with their static. Selfridge was entirely free however with the exception of VIP tickets and it sure made up for it with a fantastic show.

[@privatepilot4064]

I’ll bet it takes a lot of maple syrup to buy a plane like that!

[@badouplus1304]

Have you heard about the maple syrup heist that occurred in 2011-12? The value was estimated to be around 19M dollars at the time, that gives you an idea. Yes, not enough to buy one, but the province of Quebec produce more than 1 billion dollars worth of maple syrup every year, now, you can buy many planes with that kind of money lol.

[@privatepilot4064]

@@badouplus1304 No doubt!

[@tim7402]

Yeahhhhh, I suspected SIM too

[@-2772-]

magic paint cheme

[@ErnestGutschikAviation]

Definitely.

[@johnwittman2407]

Did he tail strike on takeoff

[@ErnestGutschikAviation]

Nope, they would’ve definitely called off the whole show if that was the case.

[@yxeaviationphotog]

I don't know if it's a byproduct of the camera, but the movements of the jet just look unnatural for some reason.

[@ErnestGutschikAviation]

I thought it was too but some of it is the stress the aircraft is going under when it’s being succumbed to those external forces. I’ve seen it in many other videos that show these tracking. At first I thought it was just the camera but turns out it’s in other videos too.

[@tim7402]

On second thought its fake !!!!

[@ErnestGutschikAviation]

Nope, it’s all 100% real.

[@CDNCasanova]

There's nothing fake about this. This is the 2024 Demo Team. The only "fake" thing you may think is how the plane moves under extreme air pressure.

[@badouplus1304]

You are fake, probably a bot

[@kumaroadking1580]

f18a the lowest of the 4 gen.

[@negativejeff]

Poor old legacy Jet

[@negativejeff]

Sure looks good though

[@problemodude]

We work hard to keep it flying
