2008 NAS Oceana Airshow - CF-18 Hornet Demonstration

CF-18 Hornet Demonstration

2008 NAS Oceana Airshow
NAS Oceana, Virginia
Friday September 19, 2008

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as Captain William "Billy" Mitchell flies the CF-18 in a very spectacular demonstration over NAS Oceana. I apologize for the poor video quality, as I was trying my best to get the best video under VERY WINDY conditions, which persisted through Saturday night.

Like what you've seen? Well, if you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

Canadian pilots are some of the best in the world... i can only imagine what a good Canadian pilot could do in an F-22 XD

One thing I found about CF-18 was that it was so easy to fly - yet unforgiving at mid-low altitude. Probably is the best frontline multirole fighter currently. I miss my days at 19 Wing at Comox. I guarantee you CF-18 (or any F/A-18 for that matter) can take on Su-27/30 any day.

Its a shame that the CF-18s don't come to the Avalon International Airshow

After weeks of fighting, Muammar Gaddafi has killed hundreds, perhaps thousands of his own people using modern warfare technology.

In a new news release, the UN Assembly has voted and passed the motion to enforce a no fly zone over Libya in order to turn the tables on this madman.

Taking part in the mission will be Canada's own CF-18 Hornets, a total of 6 aircraft. Good luck, and godspeed, gentlemen.

@looxgood 19 Wing Comox for the Win

@reidmeyers

The Canadian air force makes fighter pilots for quality over quantity.

Much respect to the Canadian forces. Canada has one of the best air defense program in the world.

I watched the TV show "Jetstream", which was all about fighter pilot program on CF-18 and the hell the new recruits have to go through and being rejected. It also showed how other air force pilots come to Canada to learn and train in Canada.

Not only did that program made me respect Canadian forces, but I used to be all about the F-16s and F-15. That program made me the biggest CF-18 fan!!
