Relive the adrenaline-pumping action of the 2024 Pacific Airshow Gold Coast! Witness the VFA-122 Rhino F/A-18F Super Hornet, C-17, acrobatic planes, and Westpac Rescue Helicopter soaring above the iconic Surfers Paradise Beach. This stunning footage captures the raw power and precision of these aircraft along Australia’s breathtaking coastline. A must-watch for aviation fans and thrill-seekers, this showcase highlights the unforgettable spectacle of the airshow.
00:00So right now when he's pulling the jet into a 6G pull into the vertical, he'll go inverted for 10 seconds and have a higher level of the pull to 90 degrees goes down to going up in level again.
00:30And here we go, the square loop.
00:45Now what do you want you to know that the Rhino is an absolutely incredible aircraft to fly, the state-of-the-art flight controls help produce manoeuvres you never thought about.
00:58Now the Rhino is just as lethal at high speeds as it is at slow speeds and with a top speed of over 1.6 times the speed of sound for roughly 2,000 km per hour the Super Hornet can quickly fly through valleys defended by surface-to-air missiles and big generation fighters strike its target and head on out whilst maintaining the element of surprise.
01:19Get your cameras ready for the high speed pass over 1,000 km per hour.
01:28And a little loop for fun at the end there.
01:43Here we go.
01:46Now we've got alles and gears from a mackerel to the next sate.
01:48Like one other drivers and from a national spinal contact and there's a turbo knife.
01:52We've got a turbo knife down.
01:53And a little lift from a rinness to the next sate.
01:55arkadaşlar and the 5G we've got a turbo knife down.
01:57And a little lift from a rinness to another side.
01:59By the way.
02:01So that's what you've got.
02:02Now they're looking at the ground and there's another one that's gonna berhiz.
02:03So they're always at least speed floating in their harnesses under negative G, we call that the turbo knife down.
02:07almost any speed floating in their harnesses under negative g we call that the turbo nose down
02:13we've also seen those flares being dispensed from the jet planes from the back seat
02:17they are using combat to defend against hostile hit-seeking missiles
02:23all right the next maneuver the boys are going to show you how to do is exactly how maneuverable
02:28the rhino can be first we're going to see a rapid aileron roll and finish with two pirouettes now
02:33a pirouette is a highly delicate maneuver performed by the rhino allowing it to rapidly
02:38roar its nose at a high angle of attack this can be used in combat to point the jet and
02:42threaten the band and even those fifth generation fighters
03:03so now as woody pulls that jet back towards the earth the jet will then begin spiraling like a
03:18flat plate through 270 degrees followed by a rapid reversal in the opposite direction
03:34with some more plans there from laying in us at the back seat our weapons systems officer
03:47baby we bringing our toys separate me from the boys chopper we think it should be on the forest
03:53bang bang we're gonna ride out gang gang we don't die out
03:57want it like there's a little time i'll come around
04:09okay
04:22we're going to be
04:23We're going to check it straight into the intensive engine
04:25and the fuel is going to boost one of those 7,000 meters of fuel
04:29for just over 9 minutes.
04:37We've been just going to peace.
04:39We've been going to serve on the streets.
04:41About to go in point peace.
04:46We go!
04:48We go, we go, we go, we go, we go.
04:53We go, we go.
05:23We go, we go, we go, we go, we go.
05:32Kenny now really treading fast, looks up and sees his hero.
05:37Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the rescue swimmer.
05:40Our friends there at Westpac Lifesaving Helicopters in for the rescue.
05:47Watch him now.
05:48He's hooking Uncle Kenny up.
05:51In and out.
05:53Yes, there we go.
05:54Lowers him down.
05:55Performs a very scientific maneuver.
05:57like a bag of tea dipping into a hot cup of water.
06:02Uncle Kenny now getting satcheled up like a new pair of shoes lashed onto the rescue swimmer.
06:12At this point, at this point, at this point, we're watching, we're waiting.
06:18Is it going to happen?
06:20Will he be plucked from the beard of Zeus?
06:25Watch now, ladies and gentlemen, as the rescue swimmer eases in.
06:29He has Uncle Kenny.
06:34Oh, my goodness, he's got him.
06:35A big round of applause.
06:36Uncle Kenny has been rescued.
06:38Look at that, folks.
06:40Our friends at Westpac Lifesaving Helicopters have yet again rescued my dear old Uncle Kenny.
06:47As he's out there.
06:51Upside down.
06:52They're right side up.
06:53They're all over the place.
06:55Look at this.
06:55Chris, he's inverted.
06:57Michael, he's right side up.
06:58And crazy Adrian Vander Sluis has turned the sluice loose.
07:03And he is rocketing over and under the yellow canary of the saucy red machine.
07:10Look at this.
07:11How do they do it?
07:12Come on, Gold Coast.
07:13Some stunning aerobatics there by the Screamin' Diamonds.
07:24Watch them on the way back in.
07:27They're going to be coming in with all the smoke on.
07:30And they want to see you wave.
07:33Come on, Gold Coast.
07:35Stand up with the Air Boss and give these guys a round of applause as they come up.
07:39And over the top, again, your very old Screamin' Diamonds.
07:44Screamin' Diamonds by planes, play their part.
07:49Engines roaring loud, ripping through the air.
07:52The time is coming, danger everywhere.
08:01Gold Coast, be ready.
08:03The fire ran out fast.
08:05Ripping through clouds.
08:06Speed that won't last.
08:08Diving and flipping.
08:10Heads to the sun.
08:11He's twisting to the masters of fun.
08:15So this will be our loud one.
08:17Okay.
08:17I'm ready.
08:18It's going to be quiet when it comes by initially.
08:21And then they're going to power up and throttle up and out of this thing.
08:26All right.
08:27We're watching.
08:28The wheels are down.
08:29Oh, man.
08:29Look at the crab on this thing.
08:32A crab means it's pointed into the wind.
08:34But it's sort of sliding along that line down the beach.
08:38Like a drift car, if you will.
08:41Look at that.
08:45Let's see if it's going to do it now.
08:47We're going to power up.
08:49About midfield is where they did it yesterday.
08:55There we go.
08:56You can hear that throttle just drowning out with a heads-up display.
09:14The pilots can see everything right out the windshield, really.
09:18They have a control stick.
09:19That should be our third and final pass.
09:32Might be able to get them to wave back.
09:34Let's see.
09:35We're going to start the whole beach here.
09:36Yeah.
09:36Look at this.
09:37We've got a kids race going.
09:40They're running.
09:40Who's going to win?
09:41The C-17 or the kids?
09:43I don't know.
09:43This is going to be close.
09:44Goldie, what do you think?
09:46She's taking the lead.
09:47And I'm talking about the kid.
09:49The C-17.
09:51Oh, my gosh.
09:52The C-17 crew at the quarter for a place in Washington.
09:56Well, I've got to tell you, C-17 crew, you lost the race.
10:00The young girl won.
10:02That's awesome.
10:03You guys and gals have a great time up there.
10:05Thanks for checking in.
10:06A big afterburner.
10:07That's what they're promising.
10:08Two of them.
10:10Two jets.
10:11Two afterburners.
10:12This is going to be the moment you've all been waiting for.
10:15We're going to bring the music down because we did when the Mustang flew over.
10:20Watch now.
10:21Listen.
10:22Listen in closely because here they come.
10:25Your very own F-22s patrolling the Pacific with an unrespected car.
