USN F-18 Super Hornet Action at RAF Lakenheath

Plenty of noise in this video as we see a 6-ship F-18 Super Hornet launch from RAF Lakenheath. These visiting F-18s are from the USS Harry Truman which at then time of filming was positioned up in the north sea. 4 F-18s flew the "Mach Loop" with a pair of guide F-15Es and the other two visited a target range up in Scotland, again with a pair of based F-15Es.

Excellent work those navy pilots must enjoy having thousands of feet of concrete to play with. Interesting watching those control surfaces flapping around on landing.

[@CBGSpotter]

Hard for them to land normal.. So used to smacking them down haha!

Damn, do I miss that place. Weapons systems spec. with the 494th FS. Worked out of the swamp on F-111F's in the late '80's and early '90's. Was a GREAT jet to load! They think they know what noise is, with the Eagles. No, my friend, the F-111's two TF-30's? THAT was ear-splitting, brain-piercing NOISE!!!

[@CBGSpotter]

Lovely place, I wish I'd been able to see F-111s in action, before my time sadly buy plenty of awesome videos of them in action :D

[@notthatdonald1385]

F-14 engines here, worked at Grumman, TF-30. You could 'feel' the sound.

[@notthatdonald1385]

The last pilot had a little nose gear bounce. Difficult to not put the nose down hard like on the boat.

[@CBGSpotter]

Quite an impressive landing!

[@iain8837]

Didn’t see any nose gears bounce??

[@barrywest4114]

How to tell the difference between the Hornet variants and a growler by just looking at it? .without going through their specs..i mean they all look the same.

[@CBGSpotter]

Super from non super is easily done, look at the engine air intakes, that gives it away :D

[@Spacegoat92]

An E-18 Growler won't have wing tip missiles, instead it has detection pods on the wingtips. It also won't have an M61 gun. It will carry jamming pods under the wings as well and they will always be a 2 seat aircraft, whereas the F-18 can be either.

[@shaundavidssd]

One has missile racks the other doesn't ,guess which is which

[@Spacegoat92]

@@shaundavidssd They still have missile racks under the wings as they carry HARM and AMRAAM misslies.
