[Afterburner47]

By the way its a boeing F/A-18 super hornet

[swisslowrider]

@Afterburner47 - Hi, thank you for your comment. In fact it is a "Boeing F/A-18C Hornet". Many greetings from Switzerland. Roger :)

[Kukkonaama]

@swisslowrider Do you guys use the same version of hornet, than we finns? Or is our model D? I know we have different engines than USAF

[swisslowrider]

@Kukkonaama - Thank you for your comment. The Swiss Air Force purchased 26 C models and eight D models in October 2008. In this clip you can see both of them. Many Greetings from Switzerland, Roger :)

[MoFoMatricks]

@swisslowrider Your going to love the F22 Raptor :) thanks for the Vid...

[14mightymo]

@Afterburner47 The plane that almost was never going to fly. It was originaly designed by Northrop and then taken over by McDonnell Douglas who was sold to Boeing. That plane is made right here in Saint Louis Missouri USA. I see them rolling off the line every once in a while at the airport in their un painted version for their first flight. Fun to watch them go straight up out of the airport airspace for their check flight.

[iosulere]

its not superhornet, superhornet has rectangular air intakes

[xMelinhox]

[swisslowrider]

@RobertoLee09 - Hi Roberto... yes, they can also land on the top of the Eiger North Face (3,970 m / 13,025 ft). Thank you for your comment. Greetings from Switzerland. Roger ;)

[gmatsalves]

This video was great! I think I would have liked it even more if the music didn't change quite so much, but that's a small personal preference. Really well done. Thanks so much!

[SpyOpz94]

I can't go on the website. It says its forbidden. Can you please send me a download link for the movie?

[SpyOpz94]

This is so awesome. Fighter Pilots = Luckiest people on the planet

[swisslowrider]

@SpyOpz94 - Thank you for your comment. Greetings from Switzerland, Roger :)

[TTDMFfreaknew]

@SpyOpz94 More like: Hardest working people on the planet. No one straps on a fighter everyday because they got 'lucky'.

[SpyOpz94]

@TTDMFfreaknew Still got lucky to win the position.

[TTDMFfreaknew]

@SpyOpz94 ...No. You work the hardest, you 'win' the position. It's a competition, you fight for pilot slots. No luck involved.

[SpyOpz94]

@TTDMFfreaknew I believe there is...

[KekkonenKalasti]

The Swiss have awesome landcapes, but the same aircraft as up north. I remember the votes it took. Greets from FIN!

[swisslowrider]

@KekkonenKalasti - Kekkonen Hei, takk for din kommentar. I was more than a year in Skandinavia. I thank God for this amazing time and I remember fondly the nice people with whom I could spend this time. Greetings from Switzerland. Roger :)

[firehawkowner]

@Rexsl ur from kuwait,

all i have is a Engineering Degree, will that do any good.

Thanks

[Kukkonaama]

Badass video, F-18 is just super. Greetings from Finland

[swisslowrider]

@Kukkonaama - Hei, kiitos kommentoida! Yea, the F/A 18 still rocks. Hope you are fine. Greetings from Switzerland. Roger :)

[dzib5]

Great views, it is the pilot`s perspective, complement the music and jet sounds, i think it is better than much of tv programs.

[swisslowrider]

@dzib5 - Hi, thank you very much for your comment. Greetings from Switzerland. Roger :)

[bradidas101]

Greetings from new Zealand, I'm joining the RAAF as a jet fighter pilot next year, Just wondering does anyone know the specs of the Swiss air force. Eg, Education, language barriers etc.. Cheers :) P.s one of the best Jet videos I've seen!!!!

[swisslowrider]

@bradidas101 - Thank you very much for your comment. If you are a citizen of New Zealand how can you join the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) as jet pilot...? Greetings from Switzerland. Roger :)

[bradidas101]

@swisslowrider Hey sorry for late reply. Because of the relationship of NZ and Australia I only need to be a resident to join the RAAF. To apply for residency I need a job and address. HEHE sounds easier then it is though! Once i get my residency. (recruiters said 3-6 months) I can apply for the RAAF. P.s this is still my favorite video on youtube! Just stunning!

[swisslowrider]

@bradidas101 - Hi, thank you very much for this explination. I hope everything will work well for you so that all your dreams comes true and you become a real jet pilot. Many greetings from snow covered Switzerland. Roger :)

[aussiepride2005]

@bradidas101 The way you talk is as if you're already in. Mate, you will be last person chosen to become a pilot in the RAAF because you're not even Australian. They will always put Australian's infront of foreigners, including NZ'ers. Don't start getting all cocky thinking you're going to make it because the ADF will pick Australian's infront of you. We don't need foreigners to fill the slots, there are already 10s of thousands Australian's who want to be pilots, you're not one.

[bradidas101]

@aussiepride2005 Wow man you sound like some jealous person who never made it.... Ive been in constant contact with the RAAF for over a year. I got told by 2 f18 pilots that I had a very motivated attitude and to "get my arse over there" (attitude is one of the most important attributes they look for). one of the pilots is a New Zealander also. See I sound like I'm in because this is my passion and dream and I WILL make it. With a negative attitude like yours you'll never get anywhere in life. 

[bradidas101]

@aussiepride2005 Also I never said I was in?? Maybe it sounds like I do because for the last year and a half I have been talking back and forth with the RAAF. So I know everything about the needs and requirements of the RAAF . All your talk about not accepting me and I wont get in Because I'm not Australian is rubbish. Heard of Residency and Citizenships buddy? Where did you even get this info LOL grow up man get a life stop trolling amazing videos and get a career. Regards Brad.

[Marcinos20]

[swisslowrider]

@gregrellca - Hi, thank you for your comment. I am not sure about your idea... but i'll think about it. Greetings from Switzerland. Roger :)

[gregrellca]

[HappyHeady]

Fantastisches Video! Wahrscheinlich eins der besten auf Youtube.

Ausnahmsweise, find ich, passt der Topgun Soundtrack hier.

[swisslowrider]

@HappyHeady - Danke für deinen Kommentar. Das mit dem Topgun Soundtrack ist mir allerdings auch nicht leicht gefallen. Mit besten Grüssen.

[neofalcon79]

Lionel Charlet movie!

It's TOP

[swisslowrider]

@neofalcon79 - Thank you for your comment! YES a Lionel Charlet Movie - cut down to 6.5 minutes for all my youtube-freinds. Hope you still like'it...!?

[blackcrow252]

Wait a sec, arent F18s are made by Boeings? e_o

[kdraper2007]

@blackcrow252 Origanally it was designed by Northrup as the P-530. a replacement for the F-5 Tiger II, Then it was designated YF-17 for the U.S. Air Force lightweight fighter competition where it lost out to General Dynamics YF-16. The U.S. Navy was interested in the YF-17 however as they didn't want the F-16. as Northrup had no experience designing carrier aircraft they teamed up with McDonnell/Douglas to redesign the YF-17 into the F/A-18.

[kdraper2007]

@blackcrow252 In the mid 1990's Mcdonnell bet the company on the A.T.F. fighter compettition & lost to Lockheed's YF-22. Bankrupt Mcdonnell was bought by their rival in the airliner business Boeing.

[swisslowrider]

@kdraper2007 - Thank you for giving us all this interesting informations about the F/A-18 aircraft. Greetings from Switzerland.

[swisslowrider]

@blackcrow252 - Thank you for your question. kdraper2007 had the perfect and correct answer. Greetings from Switzerland.

[fxwgmike]

Great video, awesome fighter planes. Here in the U.S.A. We have some of the best fighter planes in the world. Check out the blue angels

[swisslowrider]

@fxwgmike - Hi Mike like the Blue Angels!

[Azmaboy23]

we have these same beauties in Finland, I just love 'em!

[Petsku333]

You should've changed the top gun music to something more beautiful....

[swisslowrider]

@Petsku333 - Thank you for your comment. I'll give it some thought...?!

Maybe a new version of this clip...?! Anyway, best regards from Switzerland :)

[hpk77]

Very nice video! I remember this swiss/finnish F-18 thing a little bit. Wasn't it so that Finnish and Swiss air forces were looking together at the F-18 in the early 90's.

[vxl788]

an sich klasse, die mittlerweile völlig ausgelutschte top gun musik hats dann nur leider für mich persönlich ruiniert... schade... :/

[swisslowrider]

Hi, zuerst ein Dankeschön für deinen Komentar zu diesem Videoclip. Ja schade, dass dir der TopGun Soundtrack langsam aber sicher auf den S..ck geht!? Ruinöse Ambitionen und Empfindungen zu diesem Clip wollte ich damit nicht wecken. In diesem Sinne nehme ich den kritischen Kommentar zu Herzen! Mit den besten Grüssen aus der Schweiz :)

[porcopus]

Awesome vid, but isn't it a part of a dvd called Ice Hornet by Lionel Charlet?

[swisslowrider]

Thank you for your comment. Pls. watch the clip till the end. You will see all about this video. Greetings from Switzerland :)

nice vid 5/5

[fxslowrider1978]

It's AWESOME! But I prefer zero. It provides less performance, though. I can feel the spirit of kamikaze.

[swisslowrider]

I hope you never have to act like a kamikaze...! Thanks for your comment :)

[spacko1990]

kleine frage...für was braucht die schweiz kampfjets?

[swisslowrider]

Dies zu erklären, wenn ich es denn überhaupt zu deiner Zufriedenheit könnte, braucht wohl mehr als 500 Zeichen die mir Youtube zur Verfügung stellt. Ich bin dir als eine Antwort schuldig. In diesem Sinne "Happy new year" und Grüsse aus der Schweiz :)

[spacko1990]

Bad ass video bro! I loved it. Too much horsepower for me though. Must stick to a new nitrous system.

You never can get enough of this... Thanks for your comment and a happy 2010 :)

[arthurleino]

Very cool video, had these on my last carrier in the U.S Navy(I was an A-6 Intruder mechanic). But,always thought the F/A 18 was a good aircraft! 5******
