- We spent a couple days at the famous Star Wars Canyon, aka JEDI Transition or Rainbow Canyon to capture some low level military jet flying through the canyon. The Star Wars canyon is located in California's Death Valley National Park and used by the USAF for low level military flight training | 🛑Subscribe here ➤bit.ly/VMCAviat...

Always love seeing the Harrier fly fast and low. We had 5 squadrons of them where I was stationed in the Marine Corps. MCAS Cherry Point, NC. Good times...
👍
@@VMCAviationVideos any idea if they still do this?
The C-130 flying the Star Wars Canyon at 1:55 remind me of the C-130s I've ridden in flying at treetop level, banking knife edge to turn sharp enough to follow the bends on the Amazon River in Columbia in the 1980s. They were full of passengers and cargo from U.S. radar sites in South America. We would all get sick in the back, but the aircrew had a LOT of fun doing it. The aircrews told us it was required training. Yeah, sure!
👍
What a scenario! I love military planes. Beautiful record 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yeaaaa same I love aviation so much
Thanks!
👍
Did they open this back up for low passes?? I went here in 2020 and a rangers said it was closed since the accident where that navy pilot slammed into the canyon wall.
Love the long shot of the 130
Thanks
Good quality video work. Thumbs Up! It will be interesting to see if Star Wars Canyon ever comes back to the kind of flying it was known for. Curious to learn what camera you used.
Fingers crossed! Sony FDR-AX700
Lovw this video
there’s something about seeing an eagle flying by and seeing planes meant to replace it but aren’t on its level flying behind it
👍
From 40 miles away you would rather be in a F-35 facing a SU-27 than an F-15.
@@superskullmaster I suspect you are 100% correct. I think at 40 miles the F-35 is calling "Fox 3" and the SU-27 pilot is thinking "Things are calm. This is a good time to use the piddle pack."
I've gone hiking cross country below star wars canyon for a different view. I only remember seeing many rattle snakes.
If the Mach Loop looks like a place of legend and lore, Star Wars Canyon looks like a place of ancient Earth history and possibly dinosaurs. I kind of expect to see a 2-ship pterosaurs.
Amazing video. 📹👌 Thumbs up! 👍😊 Like 39 👌
Congrats from Argentina. 👋👋😀😊
Thank you very much!
Absolutely epic video, stunning shots man!
Thanks!
heading out to Star Wars Canyon in a few weeks. Any particular times I should shoot for or any other recommendations ?
👍
Skip to 4:27 for the F-35 and hear the P&W F-135 engine growl it’s deathcore song.
Edit : The F-35 dropping in low @ 6:00 is epic footage.
I thought there was crash which meant planes couldn't fly through anymore. Has this changed?
They should have just named it Beggar's Canyon every Star Wars fan will know. ☺
So are these current videos? Are they flying in starwars canyon again?
That was a few years ago, not sure if the fly the starwars canyon again.
Amazing video!! I wish I was there!
Next time!
@@VMCAviationVideos 👍
Top gun vibes
Haha, yes
Really great footage! What it must feel like to fly one of those through there chasing your buddy. Unreal! Have they stopped flying here? I’ve read some conflicting things on this spot. Thanks for sharing!
I'm not sure if they fly again
Have they started flying through there again yet?
I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure
No, still closed. Rest of the Sidewinder route is still open. Google and you will find details.
Watch the video at 1.5 speeds. It's better.
Love this! What video recorder were you using?
Death Valley looks scary
👍
Is there a schedule for when they fly in 2023?
I don't know
They don't fly in the canyon anymore.
@@27lifeThey started up about a year after the fatality. Been by a couple of time but haven't seen any, but have talked to others who have.
Thank you. Good variety of aircraft and manoeuvres.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Raptor!
👍
I spent Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs out there watching and didn't see anything. After awhile the crows flying got me all excited. Congratulations getting it on film. You need to buy a lotto ticket!
👍
I go out there several times year and also didn’t see anything. I can hear the jets flying high altitude, but cam barely see them
Outstanding
Subd😊
Thanks for the sub!
Was by there 4-10-2021
How was it❓
@@VMCAviationVideos there was no activity...
whats the drive to this location like?
One hour from Lone Pine on a State Hiway.
@richardjacques1731 thank ya kindly my friend
WOW super cool video!!
Thank you! Switzerland could do something like that through the Swiss Alps, besides the Axalp show once a year.
I thought they stopped doing this a couple years ago after the crash. How long ago was this video taken?
Video from 2018
Are there event days in which you know the planes will be flying? Or do you just have to show up and hope?
We just showed up
@@VMCAviationVideosFrom what I understand early mornings are best, when it heats up the winds get squirrely.
Sorry to see its closed where do they fly now?
👍
Nice video, that’s a location that is definitely on my bucket list!
It's worthwhile, that's for sure.
@@VMCAviationVideos thought planes weren’t allowed to fly there anymore?
@@s4aragon This is back from October 2018
Nice video, my friend
Thank you very much!
superb video mate
Many thanks!
It takes a lot of guts to take a transport plane into that canyon over a fighter since the aircraft has the turn radius of a pig.in flight.
is the jets still flying in 2023 ?
I'm not sure
gorgeous action!
It was great!
Really nice.
Thanks!
Wonderful video like and subscribed from Czech Republic
Thanks 👍
What a shame, no more flights. The Brits are getting more intense training at Mach Loop. Our guys will become the most risk adverse of all the pilots in the skys. I hope they don't loose their edge. Don't forget practice makes perfect.
I'm headed out there next week. Do they fly on the weekends?
this video was from 2018. Since the fatal crash, I haven’t had any luck seeing any low level flying training thru the area. maybe someone else might want to chime in on any timelines on when they’re gonna start flying thru here again
Not sure
They don't fly through there on the weekends. Not even now since the accident.
It looks like they have added railing and a tribute to the pilot that crashed. www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2020/07/year-later-death-valley-overlook-recalls-navy-pilot-who-died-star-wars-canyon
I saw a story it has reopened since Navy jet investigation is complete and debris removed
Check for recent You tube vids??
That’s a Harior!! Mk. 8
Beautiful video!✈✈✈💙💙💙💙👍👍👍🎥😎
Thank you very much!
was this recorded recently
2018
Just Awesome mate big like from me!
Thanks!
Tues I was there 8 to 10 and came back around 3:30. What time were you able to get the picks?
We where there on October 3 & 4, 2018
Maverick did this in under 20 parsecs
We still fly Harriers?
👍
never stopped flying them, but are retiring in four years
One stupid crash ruined it for everyone!
😕
They can't get away from the hypersonic missile that Russa has.
Thank you for stating the obvious.
hooray they are flying the canyon again! ?or is this old footage?
2018
@@VMCAviationVideos oh ok thanks/ great video
When was this recorded?
yeah im hoping it is recent and they are flying again
October 2018
The video is from back in October 2018

I’ve watched quite a lot of your shorts so far to see the quality, and bro, this is the most obvious fake. There’s another one posted sooner after this one of a C-17 that also gives it away.
What software you’re using, I’m not sure, I’m assuming DCS or Microsoft Flight Sim, but I know 100% this is not real life.
Don’t bother replying “ur armchair expert this is real life I have proof” you don’t have proof.
If you actually watched footage of the canyon flights, there’s a lot of things that make it real, and you’re not doing any of it. The sounds of nature like wind, other photographers being in that spot taking pictures, like come on dude, you’re using clearly fake camera shutter noises speaking that you told someone else you were using a modern iPhone, and the near-consistent sound of the jet the entire way through makes it obvious.
I’ve seen actual jets fly by, you haven’t.
Not to mention, how quick does your shutter open and close for it to VIBRATE your iPhone? Hm? Don’t know about you but I never noticed any vibration when using my camera.
Nobody wants to see the planes for 5 minutes after they pass, complete waste of time. Otherwise cool!
