7 years US Navy aviation electrician and attached to F/A-18 C hornet with tons of flight deck experience. I have watched endless airshows on the beach and at sea (supersonic low altitude flyby) and this is the most impressive flight demo of a legacy hornet I have seen. Very cool.

I live close to the largest air base in Finland where most of our Hornets are located. I have seen quite a few times pilot/s practising these demos over the airfield and in its vicinity. It's a quite popular road for cyclists that goes to the this airport and air base. I can say that my typical cycling training session takes a bit longer than usual when you stop "for a moment" to watch that dancing on the sky. 😉

These are not exactly legacy hornets you are seeing here... the thing was build by Patria in Finland. You do that thing in an old US navy stuff... that would cut its wings off by the weare. The airframe might be the same + titanium... and "stuff". + The fact that it is not american build batch. Practicly new. "some nokias here and there."

@@aazvank7000 There is one that is funny. The original in Finnish service crashed but one half was salvaged. (I forget if it was the front or the rear half.) Asking around, Canadian Air Force happened to have a spare. The two were joined and this Finnish-Canadian hack is still flying. The roundel number for it is easy to find but I'm way too lazy today to look it up.

I used to live in an area where Finnish air forces did their training. I was used to seeing displays like this weekly. The term "knife fight in a phone booth" is an apt description for what I saw. It as quite amazing to watch the F-18's defy gravity as they turned and tumbled in tight circles at low speeds in the sky. Occasionally they would break off and gather some speed and then start again. The noise was incredibly loud and the windows at our house would shake. It was quite different to how Mig-21 and Drakens fought. Their circles were much larger but the speeds they flew were also higher. Good times.

@@floatingchimney The Baby Hornet is sometimes called the Vintage Hornet to distinguish it from the Super Hornets. Neither the YF-16 nor YF-17 were 1960s designs, but early 1970s. The RFP for the LWF program wasn’t even issued until 1972 and the responding design submissions came after that. YF-16 first flew in 1974. I lived through all of the early development of these fighters when we were at Edwards AFB in the 1970s, before we went to West Germany, then came back to Edwards.

The high alpha was definitely a feature. That's where they gave up top speed. (Some Finnish pilots miss the Mig21bis that did Mach 2.2 easily and had the delta wing and the pilot's cockpit as an afterthought.) The Hornet was built for US Navy and easy landing on carriers was top priority.

Dassault's jets had good top speed and probably good high alpha (looking at the thickness of those delta wings), and the Rafale definitely has good handling. In Finland's fighter competition that resulted in the then PM Marin deciding on 64 F-35, Dassault had a pair of Rafales in Lapland in the winter to show they can do it. Well remembered.

There's been two mid-life upgrades, but officially nothing major beyond electronics. They even retain the tailhooks, just in case the air force would like to use mobile arrestor gear on a really short highway straight. Finnish aerospace company Patria does have some experience in poking at the plane, though, and the display team flies with a "relaxed" version of the fly-by-wire software.

Good catch! Hornets are designed for super clean airaft carriers. Finnish hornets had a problem with the front wheel throwing debris in the intakes. A modification, not sure if okayed with the maker, corrected this. New mudguards at the front, simple as that. F/A18-I

Compared to a flanker or a mig 29 varient, the hornet looks like a kitchen utensil. But it will hang with a flanker on the 1 circle..so hell yea steak knife..!!!

The genius of this cobra neck, or whatever it's called, is that plane is not changing center of lift before during and after the turn. Does take a little skill to fly tho.
