On behalf of everyone who imagines this to be the coolest job in the world, thank you RAAF for this amazing footage! Can only imagine what it actually feels like, but this brings us all that little bit closer!

Imagine the hours of planning, the huge hours maintenance crews work and the skill and training these pilots do. Makes you proud to be an Aussie 🇦🇺 👍👍

This was my son's first time hearing a fighter jet and the look on his face I will never forget. Many thanks to the RAAF.

You could see the slight smile in his eyes as they began the routine. He's loving it!

Hands down the RAAF, makes the best Air Force videos you actually want to watch! The fact it's in long form, without edits, shows their media team knows what they're doing!

Love the thought of our RAAF pilots knowing Brisbane city terrain like the back of their hand. 😎

I must be getting old - the pilot looks like he just finished high school - thank you RAAF I enjoyed the vision - and to the pilot thank you for your service ❤

We happily spend a grand each year to watch the entertainment of riverfire. For me, though, it's all about feeling the Hornet crack the atmosphere in half. What a simply stunning piece of engineering with a pilot to match.

That was so cool! I saw the hornets from my house and now I’ve seen my suburb and my city from all sorts of new angles. Thanks RAAF and Brisbane for the wonder and whimsy of Riverfire.

This is soo sick! Thank you for your service gentlemen & RAAF for keeping our homeland protected.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I've seen it from the ground many times but to see it from the cockpit is amazing! Flying below the level of the buildings down the river, and then the final straight up! You must be pulling 4-5 Gs there? Cheers for entertaining millions of Brisbanites over the years. Take us out of our worries for an afternoon! 🙂🙂 (I'd put the salute emoji but Youtube doesn't support it anymore.)

Thank you for sharing your office RAAF. Some see one pilot and one plane, but behind this there is logistics and the ground crew supporting this event. So much goes behind the scenes to keep these planes flying. So thank you. Great event!

Thank you for uploading. And thank you to the pilot who did an awesome job. We were there!

I do a work run in my semi out to Coominya each day. Love seeing the Air Force flying in and out of Amberley. I’m like a little kid when I hear them or spot them.

Now that’s one nice ride 🛩️ My Dad was a Wing Commander in RAAF Laverton VIC in the early 70’s 😃We lived on the base I absolutely loved it Totally love planes ✈️ ❤🎉 thanks that was totally awesome 👏

[kamikazeair]

Miss the F-111s, this was still awesome hearing it live though.

[SkandiaAUS]
