F-18 HORNET: Great Fighting Jets (1989)

You're getting even better now Sir, England through to the Semis of I cc World Cup and now this? 😂 Many thanks Mike

30 years later and the intro music on these videos still makes me happy. These are so well done, and it's so cool to see them again. Thank you.

Another amazing documentary coverage video about F-18 hornet shared by excellent Mike Guardia channel video showed that technological competition amongst US aviation companies created that USA having excellent airplanes in the world ...allot thanks

The f18 has an excellent combat record, it stopped an alien invasion all by itself 🤣

US Navy and Pentagon said Tic tac beat the F18 🛩️🛸

The F-A 18 is the YF-17 redesigned. So in a way both The YF-16 and YF-17 made it into production.

It will be even greater if you can upload Dogfight series after finishing this one

Back then the falcon killed the cobra, but today the mighty growler can kill a viper

Kind of annoying to listen to someone constantly mispronounce St. Louis. But still a good video.

There was no need to replace the f14.

Shows fpotage of the saab VIGGEN when talking about the DRAKEN..

It's not really a huge feet to reach American basses from Russia we have air force and marine basses in Alaska and its only like 50 miles from Russia to Alaska across the barren straight. From little diamonds Island to big diamonds Island which is the little ones in America and the big ones in Russia in the winter time you can walk across there and an afternoon cuz it freezes solid

Jamming out to that opening tune.

Too bad there are zero stats.

Thank you again Mike for these great uploads. Excellent finds my friend. Everyone let’s get Mike more subs!

Damn bugs

what’s the music

Its not the McDonnell Hornet. Its the McDonnell-Douglas hornet. The hornet came AFTER the merger.

An interesting video, shame about the dull music in the background!

The F-14 Tomcat might have been the Top Gun but the F-18 Legacy was the Blue Angel

As a son of a former army soldier i have grown up learning more about the F4 phantom,all the way to the F18 hornets including the f14 tomcats..both the f15,f16 and also the general dynamics f111it's great to see this documentary i was only 8yrs old when this was made

Back in my US Navy days i was lucky enough to be stationed in the very first f-18 squadron on the east coast VFA-131 Wildcats , We also was the first to see combat in Libya is 1986 aboard the USS Coral Sea , Based out of NAS Cecil Field fla 1984/1988 great times !

that's an hysterical accent

i dont think the hornet is fly by electrical wire, I think its just a glass cockpit, the controls for the control surfaces are block and tackle

I like how that synth guitar kicks in whenever they're about to show the Hornet in flight. It's like the Jaws theme 😂
