Here you go. Two new turbine jets (same make) maidened on the same day in prep for Michigan jets. A third was taxi tested. I believed the FA 18 has a turbine with 38 lbs. of thrust. If I have my jet names wrong, correct me.
Both flights were successful. One had a rough landing and a couple of broken formers, but beyond that all is OK.
These were videoed with a $100 Jazz elite 178 HDV camcorder I use for aerial photography. All were shot in HD. The downside is the zoom on this camcorder is the zoom is a simple digital zoom which was NOT used. Footage is raw but I didn't have a lot of time to download, convert it, edit and render the videos. So, you may want to click on the vimeo icon and view full screen to see better.
