DCS: F/A-18C Hornet – Pirouette Maneuver HD

One of the unique maneuvers of the Hornet is called the pirouette. This is high AoA maneuver that allows the pilot to reposition the nose laterally at very low speeds. It can be very handy in a low speed, high-alpha fight. Here is a little video of how to pull it off. - Greater than 45 degrees angle of attack - Full lateral stick and rudder in the same direction The legacy Hornet uses no special “mode” for this maneuver, but the Super Hornet does.
