canadian forces, cf- 18 hornets

[Supafly]

yep... i work in path of the YVR planes....i get close up views...and they were out at 6am this morning...buzzing our building...pretty cool. But it does get annoying after 4 passes....f18 superhornets.

[Teriyaki]

That and the abbotsford airshow was just this weekend.

[124Y]

I saw these at work before a few months ago when I was on my break... I heard the loud sound, and I was like...hmm...what kind of airplane is that...and I see 2 of these flying together and I was like...:eek:X1000

I heard them this morning as well...it woke me up!!:mad:

[Renthal]

theres an airshow in vic this weekend and my house has been buzzed a couple of times by the snowbirds and other jets

[Great68]

They're running training exercises in prep for the olympics.

[!SG]

thats what i heard too, norad is running training exercises in prep for the olympics.

so they are expecting something like the movie independance day to happen :O

ummm I think we only have the regular old hornets. only the US has superhornets.
I could be wrong.

[tool001]

ummm I think we only have the regular old hornets. only the US has superhornets.
I could be wrong.

only US navy has Superhornet, they are about 20-30% large in size, air intakes look different. they have hard corners as oppose to curved ones on cf-18, and if any of these jets go supersonic, near the city , ur windows will shatter!

they can go close to breaking supersonic in city limits, thats when u see the funnel cloud around the fuselage of the plane.

[jlo mein]

ummm I think we only have the regular old hornets. only the US has superhornets.
I could be wrong.

That is correct. The picture above also shows circular air intakes and a slimmer fuselage, indicating a F/A-18A/B/C/D Hornet, not a F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.

Also, US military fighter jet aircraft are not permitted to go to mach speeds over North America during peacetime (except for some designated areas (http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/planes/q0060b.shtml)). I assume the same rule applies to Canadian aircraft. So what people are hearing is the still incredibly loud sound of sub-mach speed jet aircraft flying at low altitude.

[RacePace]

RIGHT....INTO...THE......DANGERZONE

[twitchyzero]

i've seen the cf-18 fly past many times before but this week was the first time i've seen it fly over the city

[Gumby]

Damn, I missed them! :(

Once I was driving on Russ Baker and some sort of military jet flew overhead and landed at YVR. It was the loudest thing ever!

[!Yaminashi]

I always thought the f18's had single fin tail.

I think thats F16s

[Culture_Vulture]

maybe I've been living in a cave...but I wasn't even aware Canada had fighter jets.

[PavelGTR]

Two flew over Burnaby around 1pmish

[skyxx]

NORAD is doing training exercises with the Canadian forces. They talked about this 2 days ago on the news.

[Harvey Specter]

Yup, it's NORAD;

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - You may notice military planes overhead Wednesday and Thursday as NORAD spends some time in the sky in preparation for the 2010 Games. NORAD is conducting air security exercises in the skies over B.C and Washington State.

Restrictions during the Games include prohibitions on hot air balloons and model aircraft, with some regional airlines are being told to reroute their flights so passengers can be given adequate security screening. Securing the airspace above the 2010 Games requires both Canadian and U.S. efforts as the restricted zones cross the border. Military planes could be escorting other planes into and out of airports.

"Spotted: F18 superhornet

you found me.

[tool001]

no exercise till they drop bombs...

[skyxx]

Lol...I know you fly but....

[shenmecar]

[Vansterdam]

[tonyvu]

they had an airshow over at central park the other day. Those jet fighters are loud holly crap, sitting in my room and they just roar over my music O_o

[Solo_D33A]

I remember the Concorde taking off being just as loud... Why can't they bring the Concorde in just for ceremonies...? I wonder if they'll do that with London's Olympic.....

[zulutango]

I wanna see the F 86. Send it over here please and let it land.

[Durrann1984]

[asian_speedster]

^ that would be epic, over Detroit I think?

Had a couple of passes over bby a few days ago, looked more like snow birds though, not CF-18s. Crazy loud!

[monkeywrench]

WOOOOO HORNETS

[Chopstick]

man... if i was piloting a f18, i'd fly low to avoid radar, then fly straight into aberdeen mall going max supersonic in one end, and fly out the other, blowing up that stupid reserved space on lvl 2 thats always empty and scaring the slow shit from all the c lais there (^__^)...

[no_mercy]

250kts below 10000ft unless authorized by ATC... it's been a while since i've looked at air laws but no, flying at that speed would not be able to shatter your windows

[Black Pearl]

i heard a LOUD jet noise around 10:15am the other day, woke me up and scared the shit out of me, sounded like an airliner was about to crash or something, by the time i got a look outside from upstairs i saw and heard nothing... must have been these guys...

if theyre starting as early as 6am, they should do this shit in the evening, its wayyy too early in the morning.

[JSALES]

i saw a bunch of them flying together over central park. scared the shit outta me cause i was sleeping and thought how fucking low is this plane flying, thought it was gonnna crash in my house or someshit haha

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

i live right by the airport lol i hear these guys everyday!

i cant believe some of you have never heard fighter jets, or gone to an airshow. they're the loudest thing you'll hear in your life guarenteed.

Try doing something on the flight deck and hearing these guys take off and land every 30 mins.

This is all that happened at Cold Lake. After the first like 3 goes, it gets boring and no one pays attention anymore.

[CounterPuncher]

I wanna see the F 86. Send it over here please and let it land.

The F86 Sabre?

There's very very few left around.

[jimzilla]

Its cool hearing and seeing the fighter jet fly by a couple time. But when you constantly fucking hear them (like when i was posted at Cold Lake) it really grinds your gears


zI wanna see the F 86. Send it over here please and let it land.

I think Hawk One is in Naniamo Airport this weekend for some airshow/ flyin.

ATTENTION REVSCENE!

As you may have seen, these fighter jets have been out and about recently, flying all over the GVA.

You may think that these fighter jets are doing practice runs for the olympics, or an air show. However, you are all wrong.

If you watched the news or follow up with astronomy, you'll know that there has been a meteor shower going on recently. I'd like to inform you all that we are all in grave danger from this seemingly harmless meteor shower, as the meteors are large enough to actually hit the ground and cause catastrophic damage.

The jet fighters you see flying around the GVA have been commissioned by our province in an effort to protect us by blasting the meteors into smaller pieces so they can fully burn up before they hit the ground.

http://thetyee.cachefly.net/Views/2005/04/20/campbell0118-cuts.jpg
Emergency crews have received a large volume of emergency phone calls regarding the recent string of meteor impacts. Although I cannot comment on the amount of damage landed meteors have caused, I'd like everyone to know that we're doing the best we can to protect our citizens.

Were you driving on the road recently and heard something that sounded like a random rock hitting your car? That's not rocks being flung out of tires from other peoples cars, that's the sound of blasted meteor debris sprinkling on your car. The canadian air force has been blasting these meteors at high altitude for almost a week now.

http://www.miniroleplay.org/quad/images/astroid-1.jpg
(Here's a picture of astroids. They're called astroids when they're in space, but when they start falling down on the earth they're called meteor's. The ones that hit the ground and remain intact are called meteorites. These enormously large boulders of space rock are falling down all over north-west america right now. If you see one heading towards you, turn around and run for cover)

If anyone watched the news recently, officials have advised that everyone stay indoors if possible.

lvl2 reserved space? you mean the gated fenced area? That's for the Aberdeen residence, it's not full because the residence is not full...

It's fun though seeing c lais following residences in and no way to get out unless someone from residence opens the gate. :haha:

One just landed about 3 minutes ago...sick.

where east van?

[CP.AR]

these babies are CF-18s. They look similar to F/A-18s, but they DO have their differences.



I was doing summer training at CFB-Comox one year, and had the opportunity to see 3 of these guys take off and land in formation... It's amazing when you are standing on the apron while these guys punch it down the runway

only US navy has Superhornet, they are about 20-30% large in size, air intakes look different. they have hard corners as oppose to curved ones on cf-18, and if any of these jets go supersonic, near the city , ur windows will shatter!

The window won't shatter, it was busted on mythbuster :p
