- Exercise Diamond Storm 2022 was conducted at RAAF Bases Darwin and Tindal, and in the skies over the ‘Top End’ of the Northern Territory, from 30 May until 24 June 2022.
Exercise Diamond Storm 22 is part of a series of exercises that form the Air Warfare Instructor Course (AWIC). AWIC encompasses a range of academic activities and practical exercises that expose the candidates to complex scenarios, broadening and improving their skills; graduating humble, knowledgeable, approachable and expert instructors.
AWIC22 integrates warfighting functions across a range of specialisations to develop expert air warfare instructors who will represent the next generation of tactical and integrated warfare experts across the air combat spectrum.
No. 1 Squadron deployed F/A-18F Super Hornets from RAAF Base Amberley to RAAF Base Darwin for this exercise, providing Pilots and Weapons Systems Officers on the Fighter Combat Instructor (FCI) Course with the opportunity to work with a range of other Air Force capabilities, plan and execute missions, and complete their training under AWIC.
I was at Avalon Air Show one year, just before Australia got the super hornet I think.... There was some impressive flying on display from F15's and Super Hornets..... Then came the Aussie's turn, in his bog standard, non "super" Hornet..... And he absolutely tore the bags out of it... Best display I've ever seen to this day... Didn't matter that he couldn't do the cobra shit, he ripped it up, balls to the wall, like Summernats.
Cool - the classic hornets are a lethal fighter.
Love the raw footage, so much better in my opinion. Thanks for the upload
Just to be clear - you’re looking at the back seat - that’s not the person flying the jet.
wasn't till the shot with the gbu drop that i realised too.
the ol' Top Gun 2 trick!
@@DaveWhoa lame
Loved every window rattling minute of it. Can’t wait for Pitch Black. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
That's the Northern Territory version of Star Wars canyon sans CGI and fancy IMAX cameras.
Awesome.. thanks from across the ditch 👍🇳🇿✈️
Where’s Timothy Alsop? I’m an old friend. I remember Tim taking me to see Top Gun at Mallacoota in 86 and after the film I clearly remember him saying passionately “I’m going to become a fighter pilot”. Just brilliant
This will tell you where he is. www.airforce.gov.au/operations/flying-operations/raaf-outlines-salt-ash-air-weapons-range-flying-program-july-december
thankyou for showing to us
Bloody brilliant.
That low altitude flight is just unreal. What a job!
Super cool footage! That’s nuts!
It's super cool like the Super Hornet!😂
Have to love this. Down in the weeds. Great flying 🇦🇺💪
Top flying and a beautiful country
Good day to be in the office
Impressive. Most Impressive.
I would love to see the Kangaroo in Star Wars Canyon.
Thanks for the Raw Footage Guys.
I see what you did there….
TopGun (Downunder)
I would love a ride in a super hornet!!! How much cash do you want RAAF?
couple million for another F-35 probably
The ADF doesn't accept cash payments (or Bitcoin) for joyrides, but if you have a few regionally superior submarines lying around that you could lend to the Navy for at least fifteen years...
@@RGNSS-hn8ew The RAAF doesn’t take bitcoin? There goes my idea.
@@bleachsmoker863 Yeah, turns out you can't pay legal fines for cryptocurrency fraud with Bitcoin either. So unfair...ha. 😉
If you are rich, a celebrity or well connected you can get a ride in the US, but not here in Australia unfortunately :(
So cool
Oh this is so cool
Like Top Gun Maverick takes flight from the scene 4:43 After!
Wow!
Is this the new Top gun movie?
Awesome footage i to would have loved a joyride b4 i was kicked to the gutter on medical at least my brothers and nephews have had the opera unity to go up quick shout out to Dean and Jake , still serving
Awesome!
A lot of smart people on Our Team!
😎
We missed you at riat as you didn’t send anything 😞
😳How does your CO & the ground crew take it when you report clipping another friggin Roo?
Said it before & No doubt, I'll be saying it again. 😂✌️
The RAAF are mad(unts..
Respect.
.🇦🇺❤️☮️
Awesome. Always protecting Australia.
Tops!!!
08:54 I like the shadow
Oh how I wish the RAAF Hornets would come back over to New Zealand to train like they used to.
Can’t afford the carbon tax
Sacrebleu... no barrel-roll when taking off!!!
Would it be possible to get footage like this with eye tracking software? I'm always fascinated when the pilots eyes flick around a lot but what they are looking at and the cues they are taking.
It was the back seater here. You never saw the pilot or his views. This guy was along for the ride...
Even if it could be done - it would be hard to absorb - skipping around from instruments, hud, sides, up, down.
@@rinzler9775 I doubt they would do it anyways as I'm sure some of the pages on the displays are classified
@@rinzler9775 That is why it would be good to see, just how much they are looking around
@@gibbo_303 Probably a good point, even if the data was obscured it would be good to see
Got any good coordinates for Barra? just asking for a mate..
แม่ถ้าได้ 18 super hornet เอาอยู่หมดทุกรุ่นเลย
Fuckin sick video
Didn't see a reversing camera
Anyone know what river system it is he followed ?
is that a 2 seater?
Yep, RAAF only operates the F model not the single seat E model
@@doemacmonkey don't forget the G.
@@andrewsmall6834 true, although (inaccurately) I think of the G as a growler not a superhornet, a different bird.
@@doemacmonkey Yep. The F is an F/A - or Fighter Attack. The G is an E/A or Electronic Attack
@@andrewsmall6834 The “G” is actually an E/A-18G “Growler”. It isn’t a F/A (Fighter/Attack) 18F Super Hornet.
Highway too the Danger Zone…..
I want ride flying before I get older 😥😥
Do the RAAF still have single seat hornets?
Only in storage now.
@@andrewsmall6834 so the F35 is the only single seat operating jet in the air force now?
@@eugenecassar2887 no the raaf still fly the hawks too. although they are trainers the hawks could be used as an emergency fighters
@@the_real_bin_chicken yeah I meant the more active combat fighter jets
All the A and B model Hornets have gone to new owners, the F-35 is the only single seat on the books, the F/A 18F, EA 18G and Hawk are all 2 seaters, and the MQ-28, MQ-4c and MQ-9b are all zero seaters😀👍
2:08 is that the AMRAAM charlie or delta?
Nice try Chena
where does 1 squadron operate from?
RAAF Amberley near Ipswich QLD.
Just like Begger’s canyon back home. I can bullseye womp rats and they’re not much bigger than two meters!
Bout as close as i will get. To ride in one, noisy though.
Whinge, whinge, whinge
They seem terrifyingly close to the ground in some of those maneuvers, especially when the aircraft is rolled onto its side. Just raw power holding them in the sky. Does anyone have any idea what sort of minimum height they would be flying at? Is it standard proceedure to release to infrared missile decoys when rolling away like that or only when being targeted?
Flares for IR missile decoy. There are different programs you can set for release profiles of countermeasures. Preferably better to use them during an exercise than in a real dogfight!
nice try china
@@sanathasbeats hey joey jo jo!!
@@sanathasbeats well said Homer J
Excellent video should base the b2 in Australia 🇦🇺 permanently and long range missiles the super hornet is no 1 help protect our country Australia 👍
Australia got the F35's as well - much more advanced electronic warfare capacity.

US pilot can do better in his spare time: Wingnut Wick
At the end of the day these professionals are acting on instructions of a Westminster clown with a corporate political donor.
What a joke, these can't fly outside of Australia except from carriers, if they flew to say Solomon islands to intercept they'd have about 5 minutes loitering time they'd have to return straight home.. Australia doesn't even have one carrier!!
They showed the fuel tanker aircraft in the video. Depending on how many times you want to refuel determines the flight radius (pilot fatigue aside). So being conservative - radius from Australia out as far as Indonesian and PNG airspace - no problem. Far in excess of a carrier group airwing - who have very limited tanking capability, the advantage of a carrier is surprise if it remains undetected. Australia has treaty access to airfields across most of SE Asia if needed (Singapore/Malaysia/Guam/Japan).
Australia is the carrier...
