you photographers guys should share the photos with the pilots directly, like on shared Google photos albums. I'm sure they'd love to see them, it's an ultra premium quality photography right there.
If you've never seen these fly upclose in person, you owe it to yourself to go to an airshow. The ground shakes and everything. It's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in person. It just gives you the chills in such a good way.
I merely came here to say it’s beautiful to watch the birds in action when you’re on the ground, but now I’m all hung up on comments. Still beautiful, poetry in motion, one might say. But when you’re a poor sob USA 11B & that’s what shows up? Well, hell, you’re bailed out!
I live near a military base. We see F16s every single day for periods of weeks on end. Some fly very low (maybe 50m) over the fields here. Cool for people who visit, but gets very old very quick. Especially if they break the sound barrier ... even though they are not supposed to. KABOOM.
A squadron of FA18 Hornets flew over the CBD of Melbourne in the lead-up to the F1 Grand Prix a few years ago and the sound that echoed and boomed through the buildings literally shook everything. People who were not expecting it hid and ran to cover. Babies cried and women screamed. It was quite amazing. I remember my heart was racing from an adrenaline surge.
if you think the f 18 was lowd you should heard those f 14s that you to be in service an f 18 is like a kitten and when the f 14 pulls up its like the deval came out to play
I know the feeling... I lived across the street from Tinker AFB in oklahoma and they have a squadron of B1 Lancers, B52's and F-16s, they always do touch and go's through out the day. However the B1 Lancer is the loudest jet I've ever heard.. it pretty neat to see
Fighter jets are scary in general. I love em, but imagine being on the wrong end of these things. NO THANK YOU. I get fly overs about once a month where I live thanks to Air Force Reserves taking out their birds. Mainly A10s but I've seen some F16s but I don't know for sure we have them stationed here. We also have bombers and stratotankers. When I was a kid, a group of A-10c's flew over our school so low, they titled their wings when we waved. About 10 seconds later, some more flew by so fast it shook us from the inside. It was amazing. I feel lucky I get to see this stuff. I have watched the skies here all my life. I also have seen a group of UFO's once. No idea wtf it was, but it was 8 total lights, all green, in 2 square formations, 3 bright green lights and one dim, they moved from southern horizon to northern horizon so fast it made no sense.
Just love the fact USAF , RAF are in Uk keeping us safe , the cream of the free world trained and ready to fly into combat for us , god bless those boys
I flew in the USAF for 24 years, and I'm transported to that time when I was around 10 years old at my first airshow...it's still a thrill to this day. Fucking awesome. Thank you!
My wife and I were driving south on the Scottish Borders area in a low flying training area. Sun roof open, windows open, sunny day, when a Tornado passed overhead about 30-50m (guesstimate), our world stopped , I missed a 90 deg bend, drove straight on and pulled over, probably in shock. I’m not complaining, but confirm that these pilots are very skilled at low flying. Amazing !
This happened to me......!!! I now truly know what “i nearly shit my pants” means... perils of living in North Wales. Not that I really mind..... fast jets are awesome!
My family and I were driving from Vegas to San Fran via Death Valley (we're Floridians... Flatland). Somewhere climbing up out of the valley, on a climbing obstructed left bend, got the shit scared out of us by two of them banking right from the other side of the bend into the valley below to our right!! Supremely awesome, but bad timing!!
If you have never been to an airshow, i highly recommend it. I will always remember my first airshow. Always. At one point during the show, the announcer asked everybody to look to the left. The American team was coming. So we all looked to the left. You could see 3 jets closing by. Like really far away. We just kept looking. But... All of the sudden a jet passed from the RIGHT at high speed breaking the sound barrier above us. Everyone was surprised. The boom followed a second later and everyone went crazy. I was young. It's strange seeing a jet pass at very high speed without any sound. There i found out about speed of sound and stuff. Really cool experience i'll remember forever.
I have a tear in my eyes EVERY time I see these guys IM SO PROUD OF THEM AND ALL WHO SUPPORT THEM AND OUR ALLIES GOD BLESS TO YOU ALL THANKS! JOE P.S. ANS ESPECIALLY YOU DAVYD FOR BRINGING THESE TO US!
I sat in one before and messed around saying what does this big red button do, the pilot laughed and was like nothing special. It was something silly but was the only red button inside so I was disappointed
Totally misread 2 msgs n thought u said north Korea! Lmao was gonna say f no u havent seen seen these... also how u on internet? Fackn good english too hahah

Absolutely stunning photography and video sir! I'm an Aviation geek and could watch your work all day. I'm an aircraft mechanic for Boeing Defense, Space and Security working on the H-47 Chinook and V-22 Osprey. I worked on all the new UK MK6 Chinooks and got to fly on UK Mk6 N713UK in October 2015 before delivery. Thanks for sharing your work with us!
Just when I thought aircraft footage couldn’t get any better, you’ve upped the bar! Just superb videography as well as the still shots. Loved how you captured the breathtaking shots of these gorgeous birds manipulating the atmosphere. Simply fascinating! I recently had my own “Mach Loop” experience outside of the small town of Skyline, Al. It’s a small town 12 miles outside of Scottsboro, Al. that sits at almost 1600 feet of elevation. As I was descending the mountain, I got to the place that overlooks a beautiful valley well down below that is dotted with farmhouses and fields. All of a sudden, a C 130 flies right over the road heading over the valley and was soon followed by another. I don’t know if they dropped any farther in altitude as I lost sight of them(I was in a box truck paying attention to the road unless I became airborne without wings), but nonetheless was a beautiful experience! Thank you much for posting this absolutely breathtaking video.
Must have been 20 years ago my family was driving through the English countryside towards the Lake District in a camper-van and suddenly a Tornado GR-1 screamed past at about 50 ft! There and gone in like 2 seconds. We must have driven through the Mach Loop without even knowing about it. One of the coolest experiences of my life :D
The Lake District is another, very popular low level flight training area, many times you’re walking in the hills and a couple of fighters pop up over a mountain or through a pass and then disappear in seconds.
Years ago they used to fly low all over, but they aren't allowed to do that anymore. People started complaining about the house being shook by low flying jets
that's exactly what I done when I was living in Eilat Israe,l get into the car drive a few miles into mountains and watched EDF fighter pilots train.... fuckingawesome.
Fresh air, a Nice cuppa, bacon n egg sangas and awesome aircraft porn right in front of yer Mk1 eyeballs..mos deff beats sittin on the couch thumb tappin the remote fruitlessly tryin ta find somethin decent to watch other than yet another bloody cooking or game show😨😠😬😩.. I'd be in my happy aircraft engineering place..Aaaaaaaah😏💙💜💙✌.. (/-\)..
Lew Rodd- Your comment almost has a cynical tone. Where I’m from in the South we believe that freedom is worth any price no matter what! We fought hard to get it and we fight even harder to keep it. I’m headed out to the back yard now to grill steaks, drink a rum & coke, and fire some freedom downrange! The reason is, because I can... 😳
Some of my ancestors are from Wales and this makes me want to come visit even more. Such beautiful landscape and beautiful pictures of the aircraft! Thanks for posting!
As a military guy I can say...you need to hit up the units with some of these photos and ask them if they want copies. They appreciate it and you would be surprised at what they might toss back at ya!
Brian J. Schmidt They had to use a C130, it’s one of the few aircraft in the USAF inventory that’s powerful enough to cart around the huge f@cking testicles those two yank aircrew had! Talk about guts!
F-15E my fav fighter jet of all time. Love the two guys sitting in the open ramp at the back of the Hercules. What a ride that must be. Great footage and stills. Thanks for sharing.
For us Army Guys our *Term of Endearment for the Mighty C-130 Hercules is "Flying Deuce and a Half"* (a-la the M35A2 2½ Ton Truck, Cargo), meaning it can go just about anywhere and do just about anything.
I used to live in the Welsh valleys and I fondly remember my Dad joking in the pub that we had skid marks on the roof of our bungalow because they flew so low, lol 🍻
joanna noel I was never fortunate enough to see one of those, I left the area in '94, man I miss that place and those hills, I'd love to go back with my Dad one day, or week, 🍻
I live in flat-ass florida, but near an air base. Used to watch the f16s then 15s. Theyd be right over the house banked. Dude waved at me one day he was so close. Never forget that.
Flying in a C-130 with the back doors open is potentially the most fun thing I've ever done in my life. Probably the most fun was a combat approach in a C-130. My biggest regret was having weather ground Fat Albert after I was cleared to ride during a Blue Angels show.
I got to experience the combat approach while flying into KAF on my 1st deployment. My only regret was that we flew in at 1AM so we couldn't see anything
I was about to say, I've been to all 50 states except ALASKA and that landscape doesn't look familiar! Didn't see it was Wales. What a beautiful backdrop
@Billy Hill due to the high angle of attack, the airpressure on top of the plane gets extremely low, so that it is unable to hold the moisture, wich condensates into the white cloud and vaporises once it is in higher pressure air, wich is able to hold it.
@Billy Hill LMFAO! Don't you know that on a flatard earth paper airplanes can go Mach 3? That area in the UK has been known for centuries to be riddled with openings to inner earth. There's a whole huge population of upside down people living on the other side of the flatard earth. These F-15 flights are spraying a secret sleepy drug to make it easier for the guys going in to get 'em and bring 'em back. Those upside down people are responsible for kidnapping thousands of children in that area. They have hidden secret trailer parks underneath where they believe the children are being treated poorly. This should get 'em back.
It is wonderful that our military has such a good level of cooperation with the U.S. You can bet that the guys and girls of America would fight alongside us to keep Britain safe. We are proud to have you here.
I was fortunate and/or unfortunate to be about .5 kilometer from a B-52 moving at full throttle at 1000ft while on mission at Cannon AFB... One of the most painful, excruciating noises I've heard in 23 yrs of an Army career! That aircraft couldn't leave quick enough for me!
@@KTMSparky www.gov.uk/government/publications/operational-low-flying-training-timetable Also, Google 'Mach Loop' for more information, viewing locations, etc.
At about the 6:59 mark there's a still shot of the back of a C-130 and you can see 2 airmen sitting on the edge of the ramp just chillin' - enjoying the view, very cool 8-)
One time I saw a picture of a fighter banking at the Mach Loop (like at 1:00) but the guy in the back seat had a sign saying "I'm with stupid" I don't think I've ever laughed harder and I doubt I ever will
Years ago, I was on the top floor of the Hancock building in Chicago, watching a thunderstorm below eye level. That was cool. It wasn't a patch on this.
I think the vids where you have the motion of aircraft hurtling through the Loop and then some actual photographs of the self same aircraft as captured on camera are the best. The photographs are simply stunning - incredible job Dafydd, much enjoyed.
Yep the stills are amazing 'some times you can see the pilot looking at you guys absolutely awesome especially banked towards you ,it would be great if they gave the horns sign as they fly past 😏
Hanging out on the ramp, used to sit back there and smoke a cig, take a piss, moon other pilots. Its like sitting on your front porch while your house is moving 200 knts.
@@dannykerby9580 Please tell me that is true ...that is freaking awesome. I assume that you have some sort of tie off so you don't fall out. Those guys looked pretty chilled out back there i think i would bee a fun ride.
I've only been on the C-130 so I couldn't compare but the rythm of the props. The veiws not much compares. I miss it. Only thing better was jumping out of em.
About 25 yrs ago in the Lake District, I was taken back by a plane like this suddenly burst past and did a sonic boom not far from me. A lovely peaceful morning till that happened. I returned to the guesthouse I was staying at after hearing another boom or two. Found out later the plane went into the side of a mountain and pilot died.
In the 90s me and my wife climbed Helvelin in the English lake district only to see RAF fighters weaving through the mountains , its a wonderful sight to see them flying below you.
You are very observant, but look closer, )(or, if not from UK know the meaning of road markings there). The bike overtake is legal. Broken white line on his side in his direction of travel. His overtake would be illegal, requiring crossing solid white line if he was travelling in the opposite direction.
Caps Lock is a button on a computer keyboard that causes all letters of Latin and Cyrillic based scripts to be generated in capital letters. It is a toggle key: each press reverses the previous action. Some keyboards also implement a light, to give visual feedback about whether it is on or off.
@ 2:41 the Osprey has Air Force tail markings I thought the Osprey was purely a marine aircraft. Am I Wrong to have thought this? Obviously those are Air Force markings...
What you're seeing here is four pilots training for a covert mission. They're doing practise runs through the canyon to stay below the surface-to-air missiles located on the top of the ridge. They need to be quick to arrive at a target at the end of the canyon which is a non-NATO sanctioned uranium enrichment plan. The target is located between two mountains, the lead two planes must climb sharply into an inverted dive down into the bottom and place a laser target on a ventilation shaft. The second pair then follow up moments later with the laser guided bomb. They all have a 10G climb to exit the canyon before avoiding the aforementioned SAMs. Not only that, they might have to dogfight their way out. Fascinating stuff, they really should make a movie about it.
Thank you for spending the money on your high end equipment while also putting the effort into uploading this content, as this footage is amazing.. Seeing such crystal clear footage really help me and my son visualize this with great detail... Thank you. otherwise, this is something we would never be able to see. He might, sometime through out his life, but, not me. Really neat footage. and the still shots interlaced in between, really amazing.
Some of those back seaters in the F15E's may have been worried because the pilots were lower than usual based on the videos I have seen. You shouldn't fly too low through the Mach Loop in a Strike Eagle because the ground can get close real fast at 500kt plus. Those C130 and Osprey pilots get to fly closer to the deck because they can sneeze and not have to worry about flying into a mountain.
Stunning photography! I miss seeing the jets flying by my window. Forty years ago, my office was right on the Conway river, overlooking the castle. Back then we were treated to F104's, A10's, Tornado's, occasionally a Phantom, lots of Hawks as we were so close to RAF valley, and American Fwunnies and Hercs, to name but a few. I now live in western Canada and don't see a thing. Still, your channel somewhat makes up for it with the excellent imagery. Perhaps I need to get some robust speakers and wind the volume up ;-)
I used to live not far from RAF Valley on Anglesey, I remember the Hawks , chinooks etc. later emigrated to the US now live in the Rockies not far from a C130 base. I ended up serving in the USAF. To me the sound of its engines, every time I hear them, reminds me of my deployments, getting the hell out of Iraq and going home, I don't miss combat landings or take offs, but my father was a navigator in the RAF and flew in C130s, I always found comfort that it was 'his' plane that got me home. One night in Iraq our position was to be attacked in total darkness, we were notified over comms we had a C130 Spectre gunship circuiting us all night, again love the sound of those engines, cheers.
Beautiful video. I'm jealous of the C-130 crew from Dyess AFB, Texas ( 5:35 ) who flew through the Mach Loop. I spent most of my low levels over West Texas dodging buzzards and dust devils.
@@JonP_4-31inf - Just kill'm all. The good ones get virgins, the bad ones....I'm not sure what happens to them. When the women get tired of losing their children it will stop but there is no political will to fight a total war anymore. It's not "faaair" to destroy their food supply. It's "inhumane" to have collateral damage that kills a few kids because they were used as shields by cowards. Sure, i feel bad for them because they have been brainwashed for centuries by some goat poker into thinking (and wise by him) that if they join the intifada against the West the poor stupid bastards will get rich and a bunch of women to screw. I've got a better idea, let's let a bunch of them immigrate to "win their precious hearts" and show them we're not that bad. /s

There and gone in like 2 seconds. We must have driven through the Mach Loop without even knowing about it. One of the coolest experiences of my life :D
Mach Loop is in Wales, so you didn't drive thru the loop.
The Lake District is another, very popular low level flight training area, many times you’re walking in the hills and a couple of fighters pop up over a mountain or through a pass and then disappear in seconds.
Years ago they used to fly low all over, but they aren't allowed to do that anymore. People started complaining about the house being shook by low flying jets
My father was Navy, took us to the Cleveland Air Show every year. Loved it! This is beyond awesome! I need to experience this !!!
I have watched so many of these and that F15E at 1:39 is the first jet I've seen get aggressive! 🤘Love it.

"Driver"?... OK yea that's believable as hell.
I’ve heard driver & rear before
Who wants to watch the telly when you can watch this all day long? I know where I’d be? Sat on the hill.
Or you can fly one yourself in DCS ( Digital Combat Simulator ) Available to download for free.
I would build a house on that hillside if i could. Priceless 👌
that's exactly what I done when I was living in Eilat Israe,l get into the car drive a few miles into mountains and watched EDF fighter pilots train.... fuckingawesome.

That’s one of several sounds of freedom and it never gets old!
Lew Rodd- Your comment almost has a cynical tone. Where I’m from in the South we believe that freedom is worth any price no matter what! We fought hard to get it and we fight even harder to keep it. I’m headed out to the back yard now to grill steaks, drink a rum & coke, and fire some freedom downrange! The reason is, because I can... 😳

Glad I got to spend my Air Force career working on the mighty Eagle. The F15 is a beast!
Sick stills of the F-15. And awesome footage of the 2 C-130's together.
Some of my ancestors are from Wales and this makes me want to come visit even more. Such beautiful landscape and beautiful pictures of the aircraft! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching James.
🏴👍
Me too! My late father was of Anglo-Welsh ancestry (with a bit of Scottish and Irish thrown in), and I want to go to Wales!
That countryside is incredible
As a military guy I can say...you need to hit up the units with some of these photos and ask them if they want copies. They appreciate it and you would be surprised at what they might toss back at ya!
Thanks Ryan, they occasionally ask for pics in exchange for a squadron patch.
@@DafyddPhillips Have their PAO print you out some large format prints. They have the equipment to do it. I should know..I was one.
Great photo of the 2 guys sitting on the ramp of the C130, what a ride that must've been...
Brian J. Schmidt They had to use a C130, it’s one of the few aircraft in the USAF inventory that’s powerful enough to cart around the huge f@cking testicles those two yank aircrew had! Talk about guts!
That was awesome. Thank you for the awesome shots and clips, I could watch and listen to that all day
Very interesting to see the low pressure areas form. And the moisture forming clouds. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for watching 👍
those blokes chillin in the back of the C130 have the best seat
Great office to work in ✈️😎
F-15E my fav fighter jet of all time.
Love the two guys sitting in the open ramp at the back of the Hercules. What a ride that must be.
Great footage and stills. Thanks for sharing.
for a big body, that C130 really moves quick and agile. FUN!!
I'm so jealous not only of the pilots but the film crew! So amazing to see this in person
Somehow topped yourself.
These stills are absolutely stunning.
Thank you
For us Army Guys our *Term of Endearment for the Mighty C-130 Hercules is "Flying Deuce and a Half"* (a-la the M35A2 2½ Ton Truck, Cargo), meaning it can go just about anywhere and do just about anything.
OMG, the still photos' are AMAZING! I'd love to go there for a couple of days'!
I'm on the road from Mach to Dollgellau and when they fly low over my house I can see the rivits..marvellous beasts!
I used to live in the Welsh valleys and I fondly remember my Dad joking in the pub that we had skid marks on the roof of our bungalow because they flew so low, lol 🍻
@@KumaBean Ha ... I'm in a bungalow too....it's an amazing sight especially when the Ospreys whizz over..!
joanna noel I was never fortunate enough to see one of those, I left the area in '94, man I miss that place and those hills, I'd love to go back with my Dad one day, or week, 🍻
I live in flat-ass florida, but near an air base. Used to watch the f16s then 15s. Theyd be right over the house banked. Dude waved at me one day he was so close. Never forget that.
the coolest thing is to go see an air show during the rain!! seeing the jets flying trough the rain is fooking cool.
Flying in a C-130 with the back doors open is potentially the most fun thing I've ever done in my life. Probably the most fun was a combat approach in a C-130. My biggest regret was having weather ground Fat Albert after I was cleared to ride during a Blue Angels show.
I got to experience the combat approach while flying into KAF on my 1st deployment. My only regret was that we flew in at 1AM so we couldn't see anything
Wow! Nice job, those pictures are stunning!
Wow... Great job\video... I've always liked the F15 Eagle
BTW... you got a new SUB... thanks for the share!!!
I was about to say, I've been to all 50 states except ALASKA and that landscape doesn't look familiar! Didn't see it was Wales. What a beautiful backdrop
I hope u will visit Alaska too, it is really beaitiful, do not miss it!
The vehicles were driving on the left this was your first clue.
Never knew the F-15 had stealth capability...disguises itself as a cloud...Forget the new stuff, that bird is all balls!
💨💨👌
Can't believe the chemtrailer clowns haven't jumped on this exposure. Damn, video of the military caught in the act.
What is that actually?
@Billy Hill due to the high angle of attack, the airpressure on top of the plane gets extremely low, so that it is unable to hold the moisture, wich condensates into the white cloud and vaporises once it is in higher pressure air, wich is able to hold it.
@Billy Hill LMFAO! Don't you know that on a flatard earth paper airplanes can go Mach 3? That area in the UK has been known for centuries to be riddled with openings to inner earth. There's a whole huge population of upside down people living on the other side of the flatard earth. These F-15 flights are spraying a secret sleepy drug to make it easier for the guys going in to get 'em and bring 'em back. Those upside down people are responsible for kidnapping thousands of children in that area. They have hidden secret trailer parks underneath where they believe the children are being treated poorly. This should get 'em back.
It is wonderful that our military has such a good level of cooperation with the U.S. You can bet that the guys and girls of America would fight alongside us to keep Britain safe. We are proud to have you here.
Agreed Daniel 😎👍
For those flying the planes. thank you for your service.
Agree with that 👍👍
Our pleasure 🤗
God Bless the Soviet Union 🇷🇺

Yo what about the people that fix the planes and ensure they are even capable of flying?
I was fortunate and/or unfortunate to be about .5 kilometer from a B-52 moving at full throttle at 1000ft while on mission at Cannon AFB... One of the most painful, excruciating noises I've heard in 23 yrs of an Army career! That aircraft couldn't leave quick enough for me!
B52 have such a cool sound but Jesus Christ is it deafening
@@thannydevitos2332 the sound literally hurt! Ahhh, good times!
I love these videos. The only problem? They keep me from falling asleep on time. I can't stop watching.
Happy to hear it Joshua. Keep on watching 😴😴😴
We were up the loop 2 weeks ago with the kids, try get up there at least once a year.
Great footage you captured, some of the best ive seen. :)
I'd like to take the kids up my lad is obsessed with planes. How do you find out when they will be flying?
@@KTMSparky www.gov.uk/government/publications/operational-low-flying-training-timetable
Also, Google 'Mach Loop' for more information, viewing locations, etc.
Those pictures are gorgeous. Thanks for the upload!
Nice shot of the f-15, best photo I’ve ever seen of one.
Thank you 😎👍
What a gorgeous landscape, and yes the shoots of the aircraft are awesome!
At about the 6:59 mark there's a still shot of the back of a C-130 and you can see 2 airmen sitting on the edge of the ramp just chillin' - enjoying the view, very cool 8-)
You captured some really beautiful shots. Thank you for sharing
Thanks Joshua 😎
One time I saw a picture of a fighter banking at the Mach Loop (like at 1:00) but the guy in the back seat had a sign saying "I'm with stupid"
I don't think I've ever laughed harder and I doubt I ever will

Man, this place is heaven for spotters.
Years ago, I was on the top floor of the Hancock building in Chicago, watching a thunderstorm below eye level. That was cool. It wasn't a patch on this.
I think the vids where you have the motion of aircraft hurtling through the Loop and then some actual photographs of the self same aircraft as captured on camera are the best. The photographs are simply stunning - incredible job Dafydd, much enjoyed.
Thank you. Appreciate the great comment 😎👍
Yep the stills are amazing 'some times you can see the pilot looking at you guys absolutely awesome especially banked towards you ,it would be great if they gave the horns sign as they fly past 😏
Wonder which is more exhilarating....backseating in an Eagle, or hanging on the open ramp of a C-130...wooboy!😳
Would love to find out ✈️😎👍
Hanging out on the ramp, used to sit back there and smoke a cig, take a piss, moon other pilots. Its like sitting on your front porch while your house is moving 200 knts.
@@dannykerby9580 Please tell me that is true ...that is freaking awesome. I assume that you have some sort of tie off so you don't fall out. Those guys looked pretty chilled out back there i think i would bee a fun ride.
I've only been on the C-130 so I couldn't compare but the rythm of the props. The veiws not much compares. I miss it. Only thing better was jumping out of em.
Well C-130 doesnt have ejection seats so what do you think? :-)
Where is this place? Its look awesome to take some shots to my collection.
Wales
That fully ingulfed vapor pic was awesome
Love the vapour on the strike eagles 😵❤️
About 25 yrs ago in the Lake District, I was taken back by a plane like this suddenly burst past and did a sonic boom not far from me. A lovely peaceful morning till that happened. I returned to the guesthouse I was staying at after hearing another boom or two. Found out later the plane went into the side of a mountain and pilot died.
That’s very sad Trevor. Do you remember the date of the accident? I would like to read the report on it.
Thank you
The actual size of jets is insane. they seem small but are bigger than a bus
2:42 As a fellow engineer the engineering that went on behind the V22 Osprey still blows my mind.....
But the noise it makes is deafening, hate to be inside.
And the minds of the test crews. Literally
In the 90s me and my wife climbed Helvelin in the English lake district only to see RAF fighters weaving through the mountains , its a wonderful sight to see them flying below you.
Indeed 👍
Cool to see 3176 go by, I work on that plane all the time :)
Dude you don't work on that plane.... And if you did, give us some proof

Thank you. Happy you like it ✈️👍
3:36 sounds like toy machine gun fire at the on coming plane and at 3:58 the pic shows the bike rider doing a illegal overtake lol
You are very observant, but look closer, )(or, if not from UK know the meaning of road markings there).
The bike overtake is legal. Broken white line on his side in his direction of travel. His overtake would be illegal, requiring crossing solid white line if he was travelling in the opposite direction.
Caps Lock is a button on a computer keyboard that causes all letters of Latin and Cyrillic based scripts to be generated in capital letters. It is a toggle key: each press reverses the previous action. Some keyboards also implement a light, to give visual feedback about whether it is on or off.

@@DafyddPhillips open for a suggestion?
@ 2:41 the Osprey has Air Force tail markings I thought the Osprey was purely a marine aircraft. Am I Wrong to have thought this? Obviously those are Air Force markings...
Alan Helton USAF has CV-22 Ospreys
What you saw are CV-22B Ospreys flown by AFSOC's 352nd Special Operations Wing, based at RAF Mildenhall.
It one of my dreams to watch with my eyes a jet fighters show in a place like this.
On of my dreams
What you're seeing here is four pilots training for a covert mission. They're doing practise runs through the canyon to stay below the surface-to-air missiles located on the top of the ridge. They need to be quick to arrive at a target at the end of the canyon which is a non-NATO sanctioned uranium enrichment plan. The target is located between two mountains, the lead two planes must climb sharply into an inverted dive down into the bottom and place a laser target on a ventilation shaft. The second pair then follow up moments later with the laser guided bomb. They all have a 10G climb to exit the canyon before avoiding the aforementioned SAMs. Not only that, they might have to dogfight their way out. Fascinating stuff, they really should make a movie about it.
Thank you for spending the money on your high end equipment while also putting the effort into uploading this content, as this footage is amazing.. Seeing such crystal clear footage really help me and my son visualize this with great detail... Thank you. otherwise, this is something we would never be able to see. He might, sometime through out his life, but, not me. Really neat footage. and the still shots interlaced in between, really amazing.
Thanks for watching
Much appreciated 👍
I can almost hear Goose screaming, *_"watch the mountains!!"_*
Slider.........you stink.
Some of those back seaters in the F15E's may have been worried because the pilots were lower than usual based on the videos I have seen. You shouldn't fly too low through the Mach Loop in a Strike Eagle because the ground can get close real fast at 500kt plus. Those C130 and Osprey pilots get to fly closer to the deck because they can sneeze and not have to worry about flying into a mountain.
I didn't realise Eagles were still in service but I see this is a Strike Eagle. I still love that engine roar.
Stunning photography!
I miss seeing the jets flying by my window. Forty years ago, my office was right on the Conway river, overlooking the castle. Back then we were treated to F104's, A10's, Tornado's, occasionally a Phantom, lots of Hawks as we were so close to RAF valley, and American Fwunnies and Hercs, to name but a few.
I now live in western Canada and don't see a thing. Still, your channel somewhat makes up for it with the excellent imagery. Perhaps I need to get some robust speakers and wind the volume up ;-)
Thanks Paul. Must of been great times back in the day, sadly we don’t get the traffic like it used to be. Thanks for commenting 🏴👍
I used to live not far from RAF Valley on Anglesey, I remember the Hawks , chinooks etc. later emigrated to the US now live in the Rockies not far from a C130 base. I ended up serving in the USAF. To me the sound of its engines, every time I hear them, reminds me of my deployments, getting the hell out of Iraq and going home, I don't miss combat landings or take offs, but my father was a navigator in the RAF and flew in C130s, I always found comfort that it was 'his' plane that got me home. One night in Iraq our position was to be attacked in total darkness, we were notified over comms we had a C130 Spectre gunship circuiting us all night, again love the sound of those engines, cheers.
Fantastic! 🇺🇸Amazing how the jets blend in with the mountains until they’re right on you!
Beautiful video. I'm jealous of the C-130 crew from Dyess AFB, Texas ( 5:35 ) who flew through the Mach Loop. I spent most of my low levels over West Texas dodging buzzards and dust devils.
Thanks David. I bet you had fun flying over Texas 🇺🇸👍
