yeap this is a F-18 Hornet,the hornet have a automatic spin recovery,but the pilot can overight the auto mode to manual mode,we lost a canadian Hornet last year like this

during a basic air to air combat,one hornet lost the control on a hard turn,the report said the plane a 2 fuel tanks on the wing and when the spin happen the effect of inside the wing tank give a incorect astmetric...so the pilote was unable to recover the aircraft,the pilot folow the procedure and bailout...and walk away safely...they fly again a few day later...the hornet crach in forest and start a forest fire,but was rapidely stop by a canadair cl 415....

I agree about it's a Hornet, but because of the radio calls it seems to be an emergency, not a training. The engines at one point are at idle.
