Video: Australian Hornet Ball

Scott Wolff 1 Comment Military Aviation

You all remember the Hornet Ball video we posted a while back, right? It is a video of captivating footage with Legacy and Super Hornets out on cruise, running low level training missions, shooting missiles, dropping bombs, and perpetuating absolutely everything cool about being a fighter pilot in today’s United States Navy. Ring a bell?

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to buckle up and hang on to your hats, because this one is a beauty!

Not to be outdone by “Yanks,” our good friends in the Royal Australian Air Force have produced their own version of the Hornet Ball video, as they too fly the Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet and F/A-18C (Legacy) Hornet. Ask any USN or USAF fighter pilot who has had the privilege of flying with the RAAF – these folks are pros and extremely good at their craft.

Watch as these Aussies bring the noise from down under! Enjoy!
