Dawn Strike Recovery at RAAF Williamtown (F/A-18A/B/F Hornets Hawk 127 E7A Wedgetail C130 Hercules)

[@sixstringedthing]

Well captured! Great job on the low passes, great footage of the 2OCU jets recovering with their drop tanks, long flight for those guys!

Cool vid. 77 sqn sent 3 hornets to the classic fighter's airshow in Blenheim, New Zealand Easter weekend. 2 colourful hornets, one in 77 sqn green 77 anniversary markings, the other one is in this vid at 8:03 mark. It is actually now broken down at Woodbourne afb.

As a photographer, the point of 13:38 made for an epic shot. Too bad many of these are going to Canada for spares source. Great video man!

[@Aviation_Videos]

Thanks for the kind comment and yes sad to see some go but they live on

Avalon Airport Spotter Fantastic doing plane spotting outside an RAAF base - sure beats spotting Airbus a320’s and Boeing 737’s. I appreciate your tracking skills. BTW, were these classic Hornets destined for Canada, or Super Hornets?

[@growlerthunder5171]

@@artistjoh No not the Rhinos, these classics are!

[@allaboutstatus]

Avalon Airport Spotter oh I know it just reminds me of Darwin :)

[@Aviation_Videos]

o haha yeah i miss darwin too for this stuff ill be up for Pitch Black next year

[@paulcoote3094]

Are they simulating attacking the base?? They are coming in pretty quick and hitting burners on the turn.

[@danstijovich7051]

I think you were in a good spot as the light on the landing a/c was spectacular, but if you can, turn off the AF on the video and you'll get better results.

[@wayneschenk5512]

Fantastic

[@gwenyfred1743]

Hawk. The coolest

[@judithbyrne4928]

Love them.

[@jasonafterburner4596]

Super Awesome!

[@judithbyrne4928]

Amazing

[@12345fowler]

Is this some kind of tactical recovery ? Like to have the biggest number of planes coming at the same time to minimize exposure to treats when slow & low ?

[@slickstrings]

Ols comment but no. This is the last phase of an instructors course. They fly down and 'attack' the airbase, and the base scrambles fighters to intercept. They have a fight and then form up for the flyover and recovery

[@chillistationgameplay7950]

End of an era now 😔

[@zanrj6536]

Hi, Great video. Does the F-18 fly everyday from Monday to Friday? Usually at afternoon? What about Sunday?

[@Aviation_Videos]

[@zanrj6536]

[@Aviation_Videos]
