F-18 Super Hornet Demo at Aviation Nation 2016

The U.S. Navy Tactical Demonstration, "Tac Demo", flies the F-18 Super Hornet on Friday at Nellis AFB for Aviation Nation 2016.

[@amirr.a.m.5059]

Proud and honored to be able work on this beauties and it's engines for 14 years in the Navy... now for my last duty station I'm stucked on a LHD...😑😑

[@hilal1835]

Wow, Super Hornet is even more beautiful than the old Hornet!

[@Eurasian_Australian]

4:34: I LOVE that sound of pounds of thrust being exerted! One of the best sounds a fighter can make! Reminds me of the air shows I've been to but definitely not the same as being there!

[@nitroxide17]

Gorgeous plane. The lines... The proportions... Beautiful

[@davo1093]

That was SO cool at the start! Watching all flight surfaces move like that! Very very cool stuff

I work at an airport, and I saw a F18 doing his thing over 15 minutes. BEst show ever. I Loved it.

One of the best ever made. They reproduced this aircraft twice as it was that good.

Ooo freakin rah....even when jarheads are conducting final checks, they still look like they're on the parade deck...AJ freakin squared away!

[@rommelcruz3651]

The F-18 is for a long time a very underrated aircraft. Not much is shown about it. It is a beautiful airplane, lean and mean looking. With the Super Hornet, it is now starting to flex its muscles and capabilities! Truly an awesome airplane. For air to air combat, i would prefer it any day over an F-35!😊

[@bingobango170]

The Tomcat has always my favorite. Such a sweet plane. Look how fast it climbs

I’m sure glad these awesome birds belong to us.

[@leeludlowart237]

I wish we had some. We got a squadron of f35 but they aren’t nearly as pretty as the us f16 f14 f15 f18

[@leeludlowart237]

The tornado f3 is pretty beautiful though but I think we’ve retired them. I can’t see why. They travel at 1400 mph they carry long distance missiles and bombs so why retire them.? It seems silly when they Cost so much and we had so many of them. If I’m ever rich enough I’m gonna try to buy an de commissioned f3 or f14 and fly them.

[@leeludlowart237]

That’s a great name by the way. Very nearly arnie cunningam from my favourite film lol.

[@Spacegoat92]

The Super Hornet looks like the love child of the F-14 Tomcat, and the F-18 Classic Hornet.

[@johnc1975]

I do a lot of backpacking and one of the better backpacking stoves is called the MSR Pocket Rocket 2. Sometimes backpackers complain that it is too loud, but not compared to an F-18. To be honest I'd rather see a F-18 in action than a Pocket Rocket.

[@geoffreygoodyear3746]

I came here from a game im playing on my phone,,,,flight pilot,,,,iv been using this jet and was curious about the real thing as i have really no knowledge on this subject,,,,,,and wow,,what a machine,,,,left me breathless at its manoevrebility, i mean this thing defies what i thought was possible from a jet fighter, cool as f@$k!

No hating on the 14 but yes it needed to go to make room for the super Hornet. That being said my 2 favs are the F16 and I love the 16. Just a pocket rocket.

[@n.w.1803]

@@octane2099 The 'Super' Hornets are versions -E (single seat) and -F (two seats). The previous production models were F/A-18A-through -D, now often called 'legacy' Hornets, which is a new buzzword designed to make 'older' sound sexy and relevant. Besides the reshaped intake ducts, they are quite a bit larger all around; particularly they have larger wings with a re-added 'dogtooth,' larger tailplanes and larger & recontoured leading edge extensions (those flat projections that extent from the wings over the inlet ducts on either side of the fuselage). The engines are upgraded from the GE F404 to a more powerful version called F414, and of course the radar and electronics are all 21st century stuff now..
