MY BEST DAY @ Star Wars Canyon (February 2019)

I filmed all this in 1 day at the end of February! 42 passes in this video! Lots of humidity in the air for some good morning vapor! Sorry if some shots look shaky. I was experimenting with more zoom than I normally use.

[@KHETTIUS]

The opening scene of that F/A-18 has incredible clarity, and Dat F-15 with the yellow markings, absolutely badass paint scheme, cheers for the footage.

[@MrSkyspy12]

Fresno Air National Guard Eagles.

[@DaveWhoa]

2:57 Vampires have a badass paint scheme

[@searcher99c70]

I've got no idea why some people think the F/A-18 is ugly. It has great lines, a really great looking fighter in my book.

[@johnm2369]

Searcher99 C it's slow Moves like shit compared to the f15. what it does good is pay holdings company's great. Carlyle is cleaning up on everything involved in its built to fail engine

[@MarioSeoane]

The Rhino a the Growler are the best airplanes of the US inventory, they can do all sort of mission, fSEAD, CAS, Wlectronic Warfare, ground and maritime attack and off course, air superiority, especially the single seat version. I think that's why they have so many haters.

[@doodlegoose2262]

John m 2 different aircraft for different roles, they’re not going to move the same.

[@eligebrown8998]

I agree.

[@TheMyeloman]

While I wouldn’t say the F-18 is a bad looking or ugly plane, it’s not as elegant in flight as the F-15 or F-16 especially. Hands down the A-10 is the ugliest bird flying, but also one I have always loved seeing. That all said, I’d rather see a squadron of Hornets in the air than anything currently coming off the assembly lines. All that flip-flopping around in the air the 22 & the 35 do doesn’t impress me in the least. They look like fish out of water flopping around, if a plane is gonna make all that noise I’d rather is was fast disappearing into the distance.

[@R6-D2]

I will never get sick of videos like this. Thanks OP!

[@dimidomo7946]

This canyon speed pass video is awesome. Sir as I've commented before, you are an accomplished and refined videographer. If it's not the Blue Angels, it's the Star Wars Canyon...your career/hobby/vocation is highly commendable. Thanks for the upload. Oh yeah, that first F-22 Raptor pass took my breath away.

[@dblankenship88]

I worked on F-15’s my entire military career. It still commands respect when it enters any aerial engagement.

[@shannonermi5657]

That's pretty dang cool.

[@goofyiest]

F15s still look badass after 40 years.

[@anthonym3051]

Still very relevan fighter today. I am sure it has improved quite a bit since its birth.

3:53 , that Eagle with the afterburners on is such a shot! Wow, I absolutely love the F-15, my most favorite bird in history, and god does she look great!

I had just got home from work and was watching this with my headphones on. I started to doze off and it was the most wonderful sound to listen to! Excellent video.

[@FlyersAviation]

Absolutely Fantastic and Stunning Shots! Would really love to visit that canyon soon! Liked

[@mcriii]

Beautiful work. Thank you thank! I had to rewind and watch that first Eagle turn and burn many times. They all were fantastic to see.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Great footage and amazing scenery

[@UKAviationMovies]

Oh. My. God. Absolutely awesome. The C-5 was just taking the pizz! Stunning all round, the clean F-15s were ace to see and the noise of those Growlers - wow. Loved it 👍

F-15 turning and burning full afterburners. Does it get any better than that?????

Great wasn't it!

Only better if the F-14 was on on it.

Yeah, an F 18 turning with full afterburners

[@AmtAvTech]

Good job my friend! Looking forward to see more soon, keep up the great work!

[@eminorb5]

thank you for sharing, amazing footage.. love it!

[@brandonarnold3209]

I've got to say out of every aircraft I have ever seen the F-15 still reigns supreme. Everything about it is about as perfect as you could ask for in a fighter - speed, maneuverability, looks, and just an overall commanding presence. It performs beautifully and is still one of the deadliest aircraft in the sky. Its combat record speaks for itself.

[@W42PZ]

EPIC cinematography, thank you.

[@ghylarson6359]

The F18 at 3:10 wow!!! The whole video is awesome!!!

[@mustangpilot2]

Would really love to live in such venue as canyon, to keep watching and recording such dubious airshow / contest of the most powerful jet fighters with their lovely engines melody. Thanks a lot for the amusement we have via your well done Video😍 .

[@rickcratty6335]

Been enjoying your vids for a while now. Thank you.

[@tftrainman]

Gotta love that change in tone when going from full mill to full afterburner and back again. Gotta fucking love it!!! Especially the F15s my absolutely favorite fighter.

[@jaredgann7206]

I remember being 6 yrs old in 1991 and telling my parents I wanted to be a F-16 Falcon fighter pilot. This looks like the best job in the world. Both mentally and physically demanding, and nothing seems more free than being up in the sky cutting through the air just at the edge of the speed of sound. Some of the smartest individuals in the world fly these amazing machines. If I could have one wish fulfilled it would be to get to fly in one of these just once in my life.

[@chapelmice]

Excellent work as always Spencer, I certainly miss that place.

[@doodlegoose2262]

jcmiles61 is that the one with black accents, I’ve never seen one painted like that

[@jcmiles61]

Matt Renfro two aircraft had black and grey paint schemes. At 13:15 minutes in is the F5 TigersharkII. Most likely the Top Gun aggressor aircraft. It is painted with a black front and rear with the middle grey. There is a Hornet with the squadron colors painted on it. In the Navy each squadron is allowed to paint one aircraft under squadron colors while in the US. The Hornet is early on in the video.

[@donanders2110]

Looks like a T38 to me
