I wish more people would drive with that much distance between. I can’t tell you how many times I’ll be driving safely, driving the speed limit, and some stranger will ride up so close behind me, that I could tap the brakes, not even a full brakecheck, and they’d still hit me.
A friend and I were driving on I-15 from LA to Las Vegas back in the early 80's. We had crested a pass and were headed downhill when an F-4 came out of nowhere from between two hills and literally passed right in front of us. The noise was amazing. Another passed a couple of seconds later further downhill and actually slightly below us. I haven't thought of that in years until I watched this.
Back in 2002, I was on a cross country trip heading out of Vegas on Rte 95 to Death Valley, and an A-10 came over the mountains (from the Groom Lake area) and flew over us heading in the same direction......flew down about a mile or so, did a 180, and came at us, and low enough that I could clearly see the pilot looking over at me. I'd say he was maybe 125-150 feet off the ground. It was pretty crazy/awesome.
Your comment reminded of the time when I used to live in Lake Elsinore, California, and when El Toro Marine Corps Air Base was still around. An F-4 Phantom jet made a low pass to the lake, creating a sonic boom. People made complaint calls to the air base, but the base denied that it was one of their jets. So sad that these beauty beasts are made for killing. Speaking of killing, when my son was in flight school, he picked the UH-60 to fly instead of the AH-64 Apache. When I asked him why, he replied, "Dad, I don't like to kill people."
I don't even mind that the jets appear at the end of the video. The drive has beautiful scenery. I'd be tempted to just hike around the region. The fact there's low flying loud jets overhead would be just an awesome bonus! 😄
Hats off to them for waiting patiently for the end of the solid white line and a clear overtaking opportunity before attempting the pass. Safety first.
I'd love you to subscribe to get me to 1000 subs! The video is recorded with a GoPro which has a wide angle lens, which is why the aircraft do not look low. You can see when they pass the shadows cast by them are pretty huge. Also I’m sorry for the length but blame the TH-cam algorithm, if it wasn’t this length you wouldn’t see it. The scenery is part of the experience. Try to be a bit less negative and just enjoy these aircraft while we still have them. EDIT: If you are a subscriber let me know your closest international airport and I'll fly to you in MSFS on a live stream on Twitch! (link in description)
Had a similar thing happen to me years ago driving across the US. Somewhere in New Mexico. Two A7s buzzed me they must have been simulating runs on vehicles. They were attack birds so it made sense. Was very startling and exciting.
I used to live in the village further down that valley (Dysyni Valley). I've jets even lower whilst driving down that pass (Tal y Llyn pass). At one point, the jets were below the the level of my car. Will never forget it.
I remember last fall when my wife and I were at a car lot near Duluth, MN, when the air national guard had F-16s out for practice runs. They aren't nearly as loud as F-15s, but they're definitely louder than commercial jet liners taking off from the airport. They startled my wife, but got my admiration immediately! They were flying pretty low! Love the sound of airpower!
You have to love a zoomie fly by at 1000’. I’ve had multiple chances to witness aircraft from Nellie Air Force base on the deck in the San Juan River arm of Lake Powell, Glen Canyon Recreation area. F16, F18, B2, all below the canyon rim. I know I’ve been strafed, bombed and had my bass boat destroyed in practice runs with missiles. When a pilot turns the aircraft on its side to wave, you know it is low. Love the US military, god bless them all.
Heading up to Durness years ago we are accompanied by a huge Sea King Helicopter travelling on our right side near level with the top of the car, but obviously a couple of hundred yards away from us for say 30 seconds or so then it just went right into a valley into the distance..awesome it was...got a wave from the crew as they left us...bloody experience to say the least..Good video btw, and it was enjoyable knowing what was to come.
My Auntie used to live just west on Nanttle valley right next to all the man made slate quarries. If you take the dogs for a walk up the north side of Talysarn and sit and wait, you'll have 3 or 4 fly pasts with all manner of jets. I've seen Hercules, F15's, F18's, Jaguars, Tornado's an occasional Harriers. This is around 1983 or so and most of the stuff I saw is no longer part of the RAF or USAF. They'd do that valley fly through and then head up to Anglesea for refuelling and then head back to base. There are places on that route where amateur aero photographers knew exactly where to stand for the perfect shot. The jets would sometimes fly past these photographers around 50m away, but because the photographers had climbed up to 100m+ height, they were at the same height. Also, all over those hills, there is unexploded bombs and all sorts of other stuff that was dumped over the side. Some hills are out of bounds still. In WW2, some planes would take off fully laden with bombs, do their mission or abort and for some reason, they might have to divert to Anglesea to land. Some of these jets were heavily damaged and some did crash or were ditched before they made it, but some would jettison everything and anything. Radios, Machine guns, ammo boxes, bombs and anything that could be tossed out to give them a fighting chance of landing the plane. They'd let the sheep wander the hills, but usually, humans knew to stay off. I don't think anybody from the MOD ever made an effort to clear these areas to make them safe. My Auntie told me that a previous occupant of the house, a teen kid found a hand grenade and took it up to his bedroom to take it apart. I dunno if she just told me to scare me, but she did say that it went off. She never went into any more details. I was about 12 when she told me that. It was enough to make me not want to venture too far and look for stuff. Looking back, I'm certain she was fibbing.
My dad used to drive big rigs long haul before I was born and told us how once in Nevada just outside Fernley he had a jet come so low he saw the pilot wave to him as he passed by. I believe it. Pretty cool
Experienced a Navy A6 flying over Mt Fuji upside down while we were resting at the top after a grueling 5 hour hike. Obviously they were taking pictures during their passes.
Impressive - I've never seen sunshine over Snowdonia before, and that road was in remarkably good condition. Is it 'the road less travelled' for half the year ?
I live near a military base and once an A-10 warthog did a low pass above me , that was amazing there's nothing like feeling the ground shake a little and then suddenly you can feel the air ripping around even in your chest
@@MG-bs5mr Yes, the country is beautiful. I'm referring to an amazing road that almost commands spirited driving. Too bad a big truck is blocking what could have been a great day.
I'm in Australia... Years ago on a road trip in Queensland we were intercepted at very low level by an F-111. We were at highway speeds on an open country road... I'm sure they practiced an intercept on us. We were thrilled 🤯
I sometimes work in a residential area near RAF Mildenhall in Norfolk UK. It always baffled me how sound would travel from that little jet up in the sky and shake everything on the ground with a loud roar. If it's that loud at sub-sonic speeds I would not want to hear it going supersonic.
When I was in Florida, pre-covid, the Blue Angels were in town. The day before the show when they were practicing, I sat outside to watch and and listen, and it was spectacular!
I was driving in Utah the other day, and 2 F-16's ripped over my head, racing through the canyon. I like to watch youtube videos of this stuff, but it will never capture what it's like in person. Even driving a loud semi truck, it rattled my ears and shook my bones. No comparison.
S-Type, if I'm not mistaken? I had one in that colour. Loved the fly-by too! Growing up in the 1970's we holidayed at my Grandfather's cottage in Cwm-Llinau, one of my earliest memories of those days was seeing Phantoms & Buccaneers doing the loop.
Here in the US, in Virginia to be exact, they fly lower than that in the Appalachian mountains. Every summer I go to a place called Goshen and there is a scout reservation there with a big lake that has a dam. The US Navy uses the damn to do practice fake bomb runs flying FA18 Hornets over it from time to time. I love hiking that area and the famous Appalachian trail is nearby too. Neat video though, I'll bet there are some great hiking trails thru there. I'd love to take one on someday.
I had an experience of 2 F-14 Tomcats flying up the River when a bunch of us were on a float trip. We was in a wide area that was deep and flowing slowly when "BOOM BOOM" 2 Tomcats came around the bend of the river low enough to agitate the water and to easily see the flights crews wave at us as we fished. Did not hear anything to tip off they were coming!! So awesome and beautiful!
Its in Wales which is the western shore of the U.K. It’s definitely worth the drive if you ever find yourself in the U.K. with a day or two to spare. People come from all over to witness the awesomeness in person. I was fortunate enough to be born in the U.K. to a father stationed on an air base. I’ve seen up close just about every aircraft there is. My father would take me on base and show them to me up close. Sometimes he would lift me up so I could sit in the rim of the wheel. Several times he got permission to let me sit in the pilot’s seat of some truly awesome aircraft. I have quite a few photos and tonnes of memories of those times being up close and inside of different aircraft. I even went inside some of the bigger ones both American and British. Cheers all
Was driving once on the eastern side of California near Bishop and out of nowhere a Super Hornet flew right past me, couldn't have been more than 200 feet above me. I'll never forget it. Pretty sure it was a major factor in me getting into aviation.
North Wales is a secret spot. ANYONE who hasn't ventured there, trust me, it's so beautiful. It's like Scotland without the rain. And it's empty. It's clean. It's remote and slightly other worldly. It's like you can breathe again. Stunning place.
Coming home from Atlanta, going north on the old highway, one afternoon I topped one of the many hills you have to go up and down on that old road. Just as I peaked the hill, a B-52 flew in front of me at about as low as an airplane of that size can fly; it was no more than a couple hundred yards in front of me. Talk about being startled. I was in the USAF and had been around the B-52, but never that close to one in flight or that low to the ground. The B-52 was a lot lower than this F-15.
Went to an air show at a Air National Guard base. It was hot and I had the car windows down. As I approached the base I could see a pair of F-15s doing a typical circular approach to the runway. The engines were throttled back and as they passed right over me they made this loud, amazing moan. That made my day until later, when I watched one pull up from a low, slow pass down the runway, go into afterburner and accelerate straight up with an almost deafening roar.
Beautiful Countryside... Awesome Fighter Jet's... Watching from Marion County Ga USA ✌️ I live in the countryside near neighboring Fort Benning Military Training Center... We see many different aircraft here as well, plus, by living so close, we are able to hear the gun's and cannon fire during certain training operations... God Bless Our Military and their families around the world 🌎 🙏
Many years ago I was cresting a very high hill and just as I was at the top I looked down and a jet was coming up the hill about 200 feet off the ground. I need a new pair of shorts afterwards
I've been to the Mach loop before and they look super low! Never seen Eagles go through but have been up to Lakenheath a lot. Its worth a Trip mate, Honestly, The noise is just out of this world when They take off. Its like they stop you from breathing because of the amount of power coming out of those engines. Also the smell of the Kerosene Fuel afterwards could give someone a raging Hard-on🤣.
I remember my son asking me why I always stopped what I was doing and looked skyward whenever fighter jets would pass overhead back when we lived near an airbase. My answer: “Well son it’s respect for the pilots because the sound they make is the sound of freedom”. If you’ve ever been pinned down by an opposing force that outnumbers you with no way out and then hear the sound of those jets coming your way you know what I’m talking about. One of the reasons our ground forces are so feared and successful is due to the power and capabilities of those aircraft and the pilots in them. Having air superiority makes all the difference in battle. My favourite aircraft is most definitely the A-10 “Wart Hog” lol. The sound of their main gun going off as it passes over is something I will never forget. My father, who served several tours in Vietnam used to say the same thing about the jets that would drop napalm on the enemy as they raced by. God bless America and Long live the Republic
If you're doing this and want something else to look at afterwards, try visiting the Corris Railway we run trains on a Saturday and a guided tour of our engine and carriage sheds you can be sure of a warm welcome.
During Covid lockdowns, we were allowed outside to walk to the grocery store. A couple of Rafales (yes, I’m in France) buzzed my small town, obviously practicing terrain following. They were no more than 100 metres up…subsonic but barely. The French Air Force regularly pass over my town East/West, but on a day with bright blue skies and not another human in sight (except my kid)…it was like life after a neutron bomb kinda war. These French train for actual nuclear war…there were definitely under the radar.
Those jets are ridiculously fast - the first one I seen was already in a different zipcide by the time he caught it on camera - how on earth are those pilots breathing or not getting air sick? I would have been fell out in that thing
I was once driving through a river canyon and had 2 F-18s go past me doing radar avoidance training. Scared the daylights out of me with the sound. It is amazing to watch when you know what is going on but scary when all of a sudden you hear what sounds like the earth exploding.
I live in TX north of DFW and know we have cloaking tech seen nothing but the exhaust fly over then like it uncloaked in a instant and turned around to go back the other way and this time no exhaust it was perfect.
Our marina is about 25 miles from Maguire AFB, so we see plenty of C5 transports, KC-10 tankers and occasionally a few F15's overhead. A few weeks ago we were overflown by a vintage Korean war fighter, I think it was a P80.
Can I just congratulate your very professional driving. The distance between yourself and the traffic ahead is exemplary!
Well, he did state how distances seem further than reality.
Best part of the video 😂😂😂
It's the highway code Nigel.
I wish more people would drive with that much distance between. I can’t tell you how many times I’ll be driving safely, driving the speed limit, and some stranger will ride up so close behind me, that I could tap the brakes, not even a full brakecheck, and they’d still hit me.
Its not....the camera is bad and doubles distances.

I'd say he was maybe 125-150 feet off the ground. It was pretty crazy/awesome.
I live near a RCAF base, and even tho cf-18 are in pitiful condition, its still very impressive to see them train around the area and low pass.
Your comment reminded of the time when I used to live in Lake Elsinore, California, and when El Toro Marine Corps Air Base was still around. An F-4 Phantom jet made a low pass to the lake, creating a sonic boom. People made complaint calls to the air base, but the base denied that it was one of their jets.

The same exact thing happened to me once, in the same exact spot, it's right before Zyzzyx. Too funny.
An F-4 is so inherently aggressive that it would probably be too much temptation to fly it any other way but aggressively.
I don't even mind that the jets appear at the end of the video. The drive has beautiful scenery. I'd be tempted to just hike around the region. The fact there's low flying loud jets overhead would be just an awesome bonus! 😄
North Wales is now my favourite place in the UK, simply unreal everywhere you go
@@LilAndGame Great castles to visit too!
I was thinking the same thing. Perfect road to ride my motorcycle without the jet planes.
@@LilAndGame I was wondering where this was thanks all I knew is you were driving on the wrong side of the road so that narrowed it down ha ha
That's on the way to CAD-West, I think it is... never been there, but plenty of videos online about it
Hats off to them for waiting patiently for the end of the solid white line and a clear overtaking opportunity before attempting the pass. Safety first.
Nope. Safety Third.
Dude. You win the interwebs.
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cracking spotting that!!!!

Nice vid.
It was not supersonic speed because there was no sonic bomb
Yes, but it was such an anti-climax after reading the title. I noticed that you didn’t title it ‘Some nice scenery and two low flying aircraft’
Enjoy what we can’t see? How to do Religion.
I remember one time traveling southbound on I 95 while passing Andrews AFB we got buzzed by a pair of F16s coming in for a landing
Had a similar thing happen to me years ago driving across the US. Somewhere in New Mexico. Two A7s buzzed me they must have been simulating runs on vehicles. They were attack birds so it made sense. Was very startling and exciting.
I remember seeing low flying runs when visiting family near Invergordon in the 80’s. Was pretty cool as a kid to see that in person.
I think a bit of an edit is in order. take about a minute off the front?
I used to live in the village further down that valley (Dysyni Valley). I've jets even lower whilst driving down that pass (Tal y Llyn pass). At one point, the jets were below the the level of my car. Will never forget it.
Had two go past at the same level as my truck in that valley, almost had to stop for an underwear change 😂
This video should really be labelled "Driving the Mach Loop".
About 1 minute 53 seconds too long I’d say.
I didn’t know F15’s could drive to Mach loop!!!
If you’d like, you can submit a formal complaint through his HR department. 🗑
It’s a trash can.

Very cool, I thought this sounded familiar. I was stationed at a USN facility at an RAF base in west Wales and we went up there many times.
Where is this located?

Ok you could have trimmed 1 minute off that video.
Where was that , Australia? Its too dry for Scotland? Driving on the left is a dead giveaway.
Incredible ... I won't be able to sleep now with the impression...
Them driving on the left side of the road ruins this entire video
I’ll drive on the right next time
Why they driving on the left? This England. Try to fast forward to the end when the fly-by actually happens. The first minute 20 seconds is..... idk 😐

I've been wanting to go mach loop for some time now. What is the location where the carpark here is situated please?
I simply put ‘Mach loop’ into google maps and drove. It brings you straight to the car park you can see me pull into!
Coming home from Atlanta, going north on the old highway, one afternoon I topped one of the many hills you have to go up and down on that old road.

Driving from the opposite side was a blast….Low fly by and shadow was awesome 😎
The GoPros field of view doesn’t help with showing how long they are but you can see by the shadow the are not far off the ground!
I couldn't see them at all??
Ça roule à gauche donc pas en Californie c est ds quel état vassal des usa ??
G-B, Australia or New Zealand??
I know exactly how low they fly, because yesterday when I parked there, they flew over my head. Incredible thing.
The fact that it’s in wales, U.K. makes it so much rarer
Wow such beautiful landscape, the F-15s were just the icing on the cake….👍
Went to an air show at a Air National Guard base. It was hot and I had the car windows down. As I approached the base I could see a pair of F-15s doing a typical circular approach to the runway. The engines were throttled back and as they passed right over me they made this loud, amazing moan. That made my day until later, when I watched one pull up from a low, slow pass down the runway, go into afterburner and accelerate straight up with an almost deafening roar.
What side of the road were they driving ?
Well that was uninspiring. Nice scenery though.
pudding my ignorance but what car are you driving?
@1:24 for the jets
Forget the f15s, what car are you driving mate? looks nice!
23 year old Jag S-Type still going just about bless it
@@LilAndGame nice!
When driving a bugatti chiron on the autobahn starts to feel like standing still
Beautiful Countryside...
Awesome Fighter Jet's...
Watching from Marion County Ga USA ✌️
I live in the countryside near neighboring Fort Benning Military Training Center...
We see many different aircraft here as well, plus, by living so close, we are able to hear the gun's and cannon fire during certain training operations...
God Bless Our Military and their families around the world 🌎 🙏
Many years ago I was cresting a very high hill and just as I was at the top I looked down and a jet was coming up the hill about 200 feet off the ground. I need a new pair of shorts afterwards
I've been to the Mach loop before and they look super low! Never seen Eagles go through but have been up to Lakenheath a lot. Its worth a Trip mate, Honestly, The noise is just out of this world when They take off. Its like they stop you from breathing because of the amount of power coming out of those engines. Also the smell of the Kerosene Fuel afterwards could give someone a raging Hard-on🤣.
I went to Lakenheath a couple of weeks ago, I saw 6 F-15s take off and the sound is incredible
Tried not to get a hard on from this, there were a lot of people about
I live 5 miles from Lakenheath and I can confirm that a raging Hard-on is very common around here. 😂
I was stationed at Lakenheath for 4 years as a crew chief when we had F-100s then F-4Es. Love the smell of jet exhaust on the flight line.
@@ralphfrymire7843 in the morning... Lol
When is the best time to go to overthere?
I remember my son asking me why I always stopped what I was doing and looked skyward whenever fighter jets would pass overhead back when we lived near an airbase.
My answer: “Well son it’s respect for the pilots because the sound they make is the sound of freedom”. If you’ve ever been pinned down by an opposing force that outnumbers you with no way out and then hear the sound of those jets coming your way you know what I’m talking about. One of the reasons our ground forces are so feared and successful is due to the power and capabilities of those aircraft and the pilots in them. Having air superiority makes all the difference in battle. My favourite aircraft is most definitely the A-10 “Wart Hog” lol. The sound of their main gun going off as it passes over is something I will never forget. My father, who served several tours in Vietnam used to say the same thing about the jets that would drop napalm on the enemy as they raced by. God bless America and Long live the Republic
I can feel your pride but can't agree that air superiority in vietnam meant anything more than wasted lives and death.
where is this please? Australia.
1:53 of my life I’ll never get back
It's ok. I don't think anyone noticed.
Where was this? Why is everyone driving on the wrong side of the road!
What days do they usually fly?
If you're doing this and want something else to look at afterwards, try visiting the Corris Railway we run trains on a Saturday and a guided tour of our engine and carriage sheds you can be sure of a warm welcome.
During Covid lockdowns, we were allowed outside to walk to the grocery store. A couple of Rafales (yes, I’m in France) buzzed my small town, obviously practicing terrain following. They were no more than 100 metres up…subsonic but barely. The French Air Force regularly pass over my town East/West, but on a day with bright blue skies and not another human in sight (except my kid)…it was like life after a neutron bomb kinda war. These French train for actual nuclear war…there were definitely under the radar.
Love the shadow of the second jet tracing its path on the right side of the valley.
It's amazing the jet's speed when you compare their shadow's to the car's
Nevada, Wyoming?
So this is Wales? It looks so very much like New Zealand
Is this a closed course? How did they get everyone to agree to drive on the wrong side of the road?
Is it true they use vehicles as practice targets ?
Those jets are ridiculously fast - the first one I seen was already in a different zipcide by the time he caught it on camera - how on earth are those pilots breathing or not getting air sick? I would have been fell out in that thing
Hello there, is it okay to feature this video in our new Episode ? it will be credited ofcourse :)
go pro moves?
Looks like you have the camera held outside
Ryan,
you got this.
I won't let you down, dear.
I was once driving through a river canyon and had 2 F-18s go past me doing radar avoidance training. Scared the daylights out of me with the sound. It is amazing to watch when you know what is going on but scary when all of a sudden you hear what sounds like the earth exploding.
people dont know how loud jets are like they are so loud you can feel like your insides vibrating in a way
1:23 your welcome
Jump to 1:25
I live in TX north of DFW and know we have cloaking tech seen nothing but the exhaust fly over then like it uncloaked in a instant and turned around to go back the other way and this time no exhaust it was perfect.
Nice car, Jaguar SType ?
What are F15s doing in the UK?
Our marina is about 25 miles from Maguire AFB, so we see plenty of C5 transports, KC-10 tankers and occasionally a few F15's overhead. A few weeks ago we were overflown by a vintage Korean war fighter, I think it was a P80.
That was probably for the AC airshow, some of those aircraft were staged at Miller air park and I'm under their patterb
