Navy fighter pilots made this awesome GoPro video of their supersonic maneuvers
Defense1 min read

US Naval unit Strike Fighter Squadron 27 released an incredible YouTube video documenting what life is like inside a supersonic F/A-18E Super Hornet.

Filmed with GoPro-style cameras, the five-minute video captures awesome footage from the inside of the jets' cockpits as the pilots perform a series of amazing maneuvers. The video is a trailer of a longer film "Shoot 'Em If You Got 'Em," which will debut at the NAF Atsugi Spring Festival on May 3.

Below are GIFs of the highlights of the video.
