This is very Finnish flying. Disciplined, skillful, smooth, professional.. Represents whole country. GJ!

[@yksvaan1690]

Illu agrees. But later generations of ait force people somewhat disagree, what I've seen.

[@pixelnazgul]

Neither of that. Just mad and risky. Then somehow pulling out of it (but crashes happen too).

[@pixelnazgul]

They have crashed in all the ways so much, that they've learned

[@timmarshall9532]

The Finns and the Swiss have mastered the legacy Hornet. The 2019 Finn display was still the best Hornet demo I've ever seen. This routine is still brilliant, though, and together with that lunatic Belgium Viper driver it's a hell of a 4th gen lineup 👏

[@Latexi_LMX]

First time in as a members of NATO, awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@patriot52realfinn22]

2019 display pilot was capt Arto Ukskoski from Rovaniemi base.. This time pilot comes from Rovaniemi too and he is capt. Henri Toppari,

Oi oi!!! I was there Saturday but as I knew you were live streaming I wasn't going to bother you guys!!! Ohhhh yeahhhhhh - the Finnish F18 NEVER disappoints, what a display of power and it's always one of the highlights of the show!!! Shame about the weather.....!!!!!

[@TedConingsby]

Oiii oiiii Andy 🤙🏼❤️

[@1kontrabida]

WoW! His style is different from others ive seen, he showed a lot of control over the plane and not letting it to over roll or give the idea the plane was loose even when hitting the after burners and stop or carefully glide along while on full power was amazing @6:16. Also i love the way he turn the engines down as he approach and lighting them up again to make his move here move here 4:43 which he hid from the clouds never knowing where he will punch out of the clouds is one of the high light for me.

[@MetaliCanuck]

@6:16 is a 30 High Alpha , all Hornets from the first A model perform this at airshows as I did many times too. The Finnish Hornets incorporated some software that they made and created that most Hornets don't have which allows higher angles of attack, but any Hornet can over ride the AoA limiter and G limiter and do this stuff. Its just hard on the air frame.

[@TedConingsby]

Thank you so much for this great review and highlights of this wonderful display. It was impressive and what a pilot!

[@victormanuelpolanco922]

[@TedConingsby]

Oiii oiii Wenda 🤙🏼 thank you so much we do our very best to bring the best action

[@daleowen2606]

Ahh my favorite fighter aircraft when I was a kid and my current favorite 4th gen. The low speed maneuverability and nose authority/AOA is just so impressive with Hornets

[@ToxicChillz]

Absolutely love the hornet, what a capable aircraft in the right hands, also glad to see that RIAT wasn't a complete washout this year. That tail is some might fine artwork too. Great Video, keep up the great work as always !

[@TedConingsby]

Oiiii oiiii 🤙🏼 thank you so much. It was a very impressive display all round and worthy 2nd place in the TCS AWARDS

[@stephengoodman9058]

You’re not wrong! In my view one of if not the best act out there. And in an ageing aeroplane too.

ohhh yeahhhhhh! Love the Hornet! that corkscrew was amazing!🐝

[@TedConingsby]

Wasn’t this just superb! Loved this display.

[@DanielWalker67]

Had another helping of 0:29 F18 Hornet wizardry from Finland. Don't mind if I do get fat on this! Woh! They do look evil. But great. 4:00 Looks like it just floats in the air. 4:56 defying the laws of physics. 6:37 MA just great. 8:32 oh my word, in what text book does that move come from? Coolest of cool, he stole it, he flew it, he brought it back. Big hand ✋️ 👌 👏👏

Not a Super Hornet, it was a 30 years old legacy Hornet.

Watching this display brought to my mind watching cars "drifting". But in the sky! Must be one of the contenders for the best display at RIAT this year?

The display came second in our TCS AWARDS

The high AOA's look so sexy on the legacy Hornet. Supercool. Great filming, Ted!

How much AOA do you want? This pilot: Yes.

[@lesleyploddypop2950]

Ooh yeaaaah! You know there's one thing learning the choreography for the display team and planning your shots to make great videos, then there's what we just watched. Absolute quality coverage. Unbelievably difficult to follow, focus, zoom on a jet being thrown around by an ace pilot. Nikos, I for one salute you Sir. Jolly good show old bean! 🫡
