U.S. Navy F/A-18 pilot “Wingnut” released a video this week of stunning footage compiled for 2014’s Hornet Ball, an annual gathering of all West Coast Naval F-18 Hornet and Super Hornet squads and their guests.
According to The Aviationist, the pilot produces a video for the event every year with footage pulled from external and cockpit cams of pilots performing a range of aerial acrobatics during simulated and live missions from the year prior, including catapult launches, dogfighting, trap landings, live firing of various missiles and bombs, low-altitude flying, stunts and more.
