Just saying as a Canadian... Thanks! Spent five years in a CF-18 squadron as an Avionics technician. Being a fighter pilot is something else. They've always had my upmost respect. I had it easy as a guy on the ground. People see the airplane but as a pilot you need to be in tremendous shape. Seen all sorts of pilots with green faces after landing. They're like one step away from passing out. It's gruelling to be a fighter pilot and most people can't handle it. We had techs in our squadron who would go up in the back seat. Forget about this demonstration stuff... They would come back burnt and have to sleep for two days straight, lol. Gravity is brutal!

Yes the dirty roll on take off is routine for the Canadian demo but seeing it from this angle makes it look awesome, great filming Elwyn! There is a video of a twilight demo from Abbotsford I believe where it does look like the pilot was melting the runway with the blowers on take-off which is also incredible. I watched numerous Canadian demos in person from 1987-2005 then had a 15 year gap with no airshows in my area until 2019. They really have made the demo much more dynamic with high G/AoA maneuvers and over the crowd passes. It truly is one of the world class jet demos out there. It blew away the USAF F-16 demo I saw that same day.

When the CF-18 was introduced in 1983 it was a monumental upgrade for the Canadian Air Force. Still a magnificent aircraft 40 years later. Thanks for this great video! Cheers from Manitoba!

Gods do I ever love our legacy Hornets! I know they aren't the latest and greatest but they have served the RCAF extremely well for 40 years now. And even an old bird like her can dance in the skies like few others can. I fell in love with them seeing a CF-118 demo 30 years ago, the high alpha pass is one of the most amazing things I saw as a kid at airshows (next to Mig-29 and harrier). That livery is great too. The RCAF has had a number of great demo bird paint jobs. I still think the legacy hornets are the most beautiful birds. Watching the control surfaces is always neat. Both the super hornet and legacy look so good, especially in high alpha passes. I think some Rafale demos are the only western demo bird that puts on as good a show as hornets, both legacy and supers.

The plane works as a system. It’s not just the horizontal stabilizer contributing to the attitude of the aircraft.

I was at the annual Canadian National Exhibition ( as usual 😀) on labor day weekend . ( Aug. 31 ,Sept 1st & 2nd ) Best CF-18 performance I've seen ! And living in Toronto , I've seen a lot of CF-18 demos .

Some time ago I was waiting for a plane in Halifax while there was an air show on. The CF demo takeoff was even more impressive than this one, if you can believe it. The same TO roll and super-high-alpha pull-up, but then he levelled off like two seconds later and immediately went into two blindingly fast aileron rolls so close to the ground I thought it was going to wing strike. Then pop, up go the gear and a square pull-up into a vertical. Damb, never seen anything so nuts until the F-22 came to Toronto a couple of years later.

At air shows when I was a kid the Starfighters and Voodoos would would zip past a few times and maybe do a zoom climb. This sort of extreme aerobatics was limited to biplanes.

The pilot is probably playing a join the dots game with his other hand they are that talented. Lmao. Incredible skill, beautiful bird, spectacular filming.

One move with CF-18s I used to see at CFB Borden air shows and elsewhere was they'd bring it down as if going to land, then pull up the nose but keep the aircraft maybe 10 or 20 feet of the tarmac in a tail stand and very slowly "walk" it part way down the runway and then climb vertical without changing that almost vertical tail stand.

Man I love airshows. I'm physically to the point that I'll probably not be able to go see another one live but this one is awesome. Best stunt I ever saw though, was a Point Mugu Naval Air Station just southeast of Oxnard CA. This was about 1977 or 78 and the base flight was doing a demo with an F-14. The Pilot stood it on a wingtip and did a 360 left turn between the runway and the north fence. It's not that far away either. I could see the pilot jockeying the controls to keep it from stalling or falling off the wing tip stand he was doing and that big ol' bird was doing something I've never seen before or since. I wish I had video of it. But this was before personal phones were around and we still used rotary dial phones in our houses. He did it all on his own. No computers to correct him if he made a wrong move. Sure it couldn't do many of the maneuvers this CF-188 was doing but damn if it wasn't super impressive. I'm sure glad folks post these videos. Thanks a bunch!
