thats not a super hornet. that one has round inlets. the super hornet has square inlets and has wider wingspan.

Hmmm, if you scroll to about 2:00 on this video where he performs the minimum radius turn, or if you scroll to 10:00 where he is on the ground and taxiing, I think you'll be able to notice the square shaped inlets and wingspan.

Very Nice camera footage.

Was it amateur?

[PlaneBrain1JB]

I used a Sony Digital Hi-8 Handycam Camcorder.

The F-15 is superior in every way to the F-18, Super or not. About the only thing the F-18 can do that the F-15 cannot do better is take off and land on a carrier.

dude thats a super hornet

[zoobernarf]

@Antiworld23 Hate to break it to you but that's a pretty big capability

@Antiworld23

do you think the F-15 C-E can hang around up in the air at just 97 knots???? 115 knots yes but I said 97.

@Antiworld23 Are you kidding? The F-18 superhornet has lower maintenance and updated software for multi role missions. Its modified structure gives it a lower radar signiture than the ealge and the last time i checked, the eagle does not has AESA and the Superhornet does.

maneuver as an Eagle's would be, but still the first to bring their nose to bear is the first to get a missile off. If you're talking radars, the Rhino's carrying the AESA, the same as the new Eagles. See you're not taking into account, the AF has different versions of the 15 for A/A, A/G, so when you make one version specialize in one area it will of course be superior. But the hornet/rhino my friend has to do it all...oh and land on the ship.So it is the Hornet/its pilots that are far superior

@Antiworld23 Your last sentence about it not being able to land on a carrier alone makes the super hornet one of a kind. Because of that it has to be designed to structurally handle the impact of a catapult and trap. This means a significant amount of extra weight which equals a thrust to weight not as good as the Eagle...but other than that, the Rhino (superhornet) has much higher nose authority and maneuverability. Granted it's energy addition isn't as high after bleeding it off with such a

@MattyMeatpie you need to get your eyes checked.

russian and america have a treaty thing now so stop going on about it

[F22RaptorAttack]

the f22 was made to combat the Russian Su-27 and the MiG 25. With all the technology that the f22 has it will be in service for a long time. The super hornet is a redone f-18 hornet. Both have been used during the 20th century and both will stay in service for a long time.

[fmoa]

this is the reason the f22 fleet av been downsize to just 185 jets,its bcoz the f15 n f18 will be upgraded to av a Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) to go wit the new AIM-9X missile for a off-boresight capability,who needs thrust vectoring if you av that,its also been upgraded wit a new radar,jamming system n the new AIM-120D missile for a unmatch beyond visual range combat capability,after this upgrades,this jets will still be in service for the next 20 yrs..

[Sizomu]

I Diss Agree.Check all Spec Books, it wil tel F18 has beter T:W ratio. and handels better at low speed. and they both get the same G's. F18 is the first Jet To Shoot down enemy jets and attack Ground targets in the same mission. i don't see the Same F15 doing that. Sec. F15 is best at long rang and tactical warfare.. but when shit hits the fan(Dog Fight) F15 might be a handfull. Ask The Russians what they hate most.... F15 or F18. and think big....wat plane can do all... and at best!
