"Cobra" 😔

Not really a cobra maneuver. These aircraft are unable to even do that maneuver.

Yep. The speaker told us that it was going to do a cobra, and it did not fail to dissapoint. Tbf the other manuevers in the airshow were amazing.

You're asking too much from a pair of F-16s.

Also I'm sorry if it was too zoomed out, I tries to get both fighters in the frame

It was a little bit, but you can’t always get the perfect frame. No need to apologize.

Lol, first off, these are EA-18 Growlers (F/A-18), and I only started recording after the speaker said that the Growlers were going to preform a "cobra". A proper cobra is preformed when an aircraft reaches an AoA between 90° and 120°. I would understand if it gained altitude a little bit, but honestly, you can't even label that a cobra.
