Everyone knows I love the F-18 (particularly those out of CFB Cold Lake ). If I were a man, watching this video would give me a you-know-what.

Thanks for that stabbing pain I feel Airhoss
Lucky for the pilot that it was a smooth day if he was going to be on camera!
If you're going to be famous - better to do it that way than this way!!

Thumbs up Blue Angels in HD

Vagabond,

Here's another one you should enjoy.

YouTube - [High Quality] Blue Angels - censored, no Van Halen Dreams

(I don't understand the Van Halen reference--maybe this copy doesn't have rights to a sound track that was on other versions.)

There was a newer video released to the Van Halen song with the F-18, it WAS on youtube. The editing wasn't quite as slick and well timed to the music as the A-4 video.

But it got pulled for;

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Boeing Image Licensing

Nice pics.

Offhand, does anybody know the max level KIAS at max cruise power for a C-130? Min reccommended IAS for the F-18 refueling? Max speed for the rear ramp open in flight for the C-130?
