The world would be a sadder place without your videos and a lifeline for the rest of us who can`t get to the loop. Thankyou so much for all your videos, amazing stuff.
Wonderful flying , good pilots in fantastic aircraft. Would it not be unbeatable to see a Spitfire or two do the Mach .A little slower but much lower with the sound of Merlins echoing down the valley?
They almost always get the plane banked over for a good picture. I saw one a few years back where a pilot put his email on the top of the canape so he could get the pics sent to him LOL!!
Awesome!!! My father was a crew chief on a C130 for 20+ years retired E8. He’s 80 and said wahoo when the Herc’s flew by. Great video! Thanks for brightening his day!
A visit to the mach loop was on my bucket list and so I went there for a week beginning 7th September, not one aircraft the whole week. I was so disappointed & made worse when I got back home (Newmarket) to hear there had been a weeks exercise at Lakenheath including night flying by F15 & F16's. I'm in awe of your video's Elwyn absolutely stunning work.
I've grown up in Klamath Falls, Oregon (173rd Fighter Wing) and the sound of F15s in the air. They have a distinct scream to those engines. There's also a low whistle kinda thing that varies its tone, like one of those slide whistles you had as a kid. That part doesn't ever seem to come through in video. Or the vibration.

Do some research about flying times but prepare to be dissapointed , it can change very quickly due to the weather up there . If you are lucky its very impressive . Also go out to RAF Valley and wth the hawks take off , you can get fairly close , even get the backwash from them
It's in wales....we've just been last week for a couple of days...but unfortunately didn't see anything, apart from a couple of hawks flying about, a f15 tried to get in but cloud base too low.....beautiful scenery ....it is worth going but its pot luck if you see anything...
Great vid. The A400’s, (well the same 3 or 4 according to Flightradar24) were around Newquay a lot last year, couple of C17’s too doing the same loops around Cornwall, Back in ‘90s the jets used to do real low runs around the valleys between Dartmoor and Bodmin moor, been scared silly many times as a kid, kinda miss it and Concorde booming by.
Great compilation Elwyn, I can't believe I have missed this video until just now. I'm finally getting back to the Loop again this week 🤞 for some action. ATB Andy
The Sony ax53, I just wished Sony would bring a new version out that did 4k 50p with the same Image stabilization! its going to be difficult to beat that camera
Thank you for another super enjoyable 'feast' of action - wonderful footage :) The A 400 was a nice bonus, the helis too - love the Chinook sound. Sunset finish was magic. Happy New Year.
That avgeek version of Tai Chi at the beginning 🤣. Thank you for all you've filmed at LAF 7 over the year, HNY Elwyn and looking forward to more in 2021. 🛫
Ooooh this was absolutely amazing such remarkable filming thanku so very much Elwyn wishing you a happy an healthy blessed year much love an god bless x
Hi ,I fly scale RC planes and love to watch your so professional real life drama. Been a crap year for us model pilots and you. Love your video's so hopefully get an andrenal boost this year! Thank you!
Carlos64 get your self a 3d printer and print them off look at my channel, i only started printing them a week ago and already have 3 rc planes printed i cant wait intill the summer to fly them.
Thanks Elwyn! Love it there when my work occasionally takes me to Bala; my wife's from Llanidloes and you occasionally get the low flying there but nothing like this spot!
Superb video, great range of aircraft! Any chance of adding an external mic to get some more bass on the recordings for 2021 please? We all know how big these guys sound in real life. Thx.
Well done Sir. As a Flight Engineer of the early A and B Middl Chinooks in Vietnam, I still get chocked up watching the new versions. Just all around excellent display. QUESTION. Where in GB is this ‘loop’ located ? Or is it the one in Wstern USA ?
Very nice Elwyn, quality footage, hopefully more of the same this year for you, as well as the other events you normally do. Hopefully I can travel up from the South a few times this year and see something.
Nice... I'm hoping (fingers crossed) to be in that part of the world in early June of this year prior to our narrowboat hire vacation. Haven't done much research on the Mach Loop yet, but is there a good website to peruse for viewing locations and radio freqs to monitor?
Hello! I have a question for you. Do you have any recommendations on how to adjust settings for taking photos of jet planes when they are landing, without a tripod. Thank you in advance!☺️
Awesome, as usual. Great meeting you on the "hill" back in July 2018. Keep up the excellent work, since it doesn't look like we'll be back anytime soon. :(
the most memorable sight of my life, was seeing a Avro Vulcan, doing a slow full low level roll, at the IAT @ RAF Fairford in the mid 1980's. well. the most disappointing was seeing the USAF Thunderbirds in Australia. the jets, are the only thing i miss about wales.
The world would be a sadder place without your videos and a lifeline for the rest of us who can`t get to the loop. Thankyou so much for all your videos, amazing stuff.
I imagine the pilots are just lovin' it. And good for them!
I remember reading reviews of the F-15 in 1972. Here we are, 50 years later. What a plane!
still viable, cost effective & willin
with 0 losses in the air to hostile forces still to this day!!
indeed..
Exactly! It was the first plastic model I made when I was 10, 40 years ago. I'm 50 now and the F15 still flies. What a fantastic plane
Wonderful flying , good pilots in fantastic aircraft. Would it not be unbeatable to see a Spitfire or two do the Mach .A little slower but much lower with the sound of Merlins echoing down the valley?

Do you have pics or a vid, I’d love to see that 😂
@@gowen_places_5471 I'll look for it, I think it was like 2011 or 12
@@rustynail6819 did you ever find it?
Was the canape savory, or sweet? :-)
😂😆😂
The radio chatter makes it so much more amazing!!
That was actual radio chatter , I was there
@James Smith because I over heard it 🥶🤦♂️
@James Smith and it was not an open frequency
That Chinnock in the sunset looks brilliant
Awesome!!! My father was a crew chief on a C130 for 20+ years retired E8. He’s 80 and said wahoo when the Herc’s flew by. Great video! Thanks for brightening his day!
brilliant that the door crews of the chinooks wave back...respect.
oh wow that pair of apache longbows at 11:10 are absolutely stunning.
The jet engine’ s sound and agile maneuvers of jets in-flight are my enthusiasms all my life. That’ s amazing.

Wow !!! Absolutely marvellous captures and impressive footage 😊😎
I'm glad these guys and gals are on our side.
Brilliant, on my bucket list to visit the Mach loop, and your awesome footage always makes me more determined!
It's the contrast between a sprint to a jog through the loop; the fastbirds vs the heavies and choppers...Love it!
Glad you like it!

I agree with Jon! Whenever I am blue I watch your videos from the Mach Loop! Number one on my bucket list!
Watching this in real life would make my year...what a dream
I first chanced upon this during the summer last year and my plan is to go this year. I can't wait :-)
@@Steve-K.G. anywhere to find days garunteed to see planes ? Live far away and wouldn’t wanna make the trip and see nothing
My Dad worked through Mercury, Gemini, and the F-15. He is my hero.
See what a good legacy does for an entire family...good for you my friend, I bet your a better person because of him.

Any time!

I was talking to the screen saying "Stills of the Strike Eagles!" And boom, gorgeous stills of Strike Eagles. Thank you!!
Our pleasure!
I like the wave from the loadie in the Chinook at the end
It’s been a trying year but your videos have defiantly helped to add a bright spot to 2020. See you in 21
Stunning lighting, landscape and capture; a visual and audio feast to begin the new year!
Thanks,
@@ElwynR Any chance of Battle of Britain Flight putting a show on at Mach? A brace of Spitfires at least!!
The F-15s create amazing vortices at high angle, high g banks
yes, with a bit of moisture in the air it can make for some spectacular vortices!
toujours des images magnifiques!!! oublions 2020, bonne année 2021 avec de futures belles images merci
Freaking awesome! The Mach-Loop would definitely be worth a visit. Absolutely spectacular!!
Matt where this place at.
It's in wales....we've just been last week for a couple of days...but unfortunately didn't see anything, apart from a couple of hawks flying about, a f15 tried to get in but cloud base too low.....beautiful scenery ....it is worth going but its pot luck if you see anything...
That 4K camera is AWESOME and your footage is AMAZING! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Just the way it looks. The way it flies in the air, you already knew f-15 is one heck of a plane.
Great vid. The A400’s, (well the same 3 or 4 according to Flightradar24) were around Newquay a lot last year, couple of C17’s too doing the same loops around Cornwall, Back in ‘90s the jets used to do real low runs around the valleys between Dartmoor and Bodmin moor, been scared silly many times as a kid, kinda miss it and Concorde booming by.

Which video Camera do you like better the Sony AX53 or your new Panasonic HC-X1500?
The Sony ax53, I just wished Sony would bring a new version out that did 4k 50p with the same Image stabilization! its going to be difficult to beat that camera
@@ElwynR I bought one mainly because of your videos.
Great ,great ,great ,thank you for this video ,GOD bless you and your family and your country.
Thanks for all the time and effort it takes to get this quality of content. Have a safe and productive new year.

His Bless Great Britain and the USA.
Fantastic photography - thanks for the upload :)

Hi, the loop is in North Wales in the UK, it get its name from the town Machynlleth
I like the last shot with the crew chief waving
Camera settings info is cool too.
Excellent tracking shots on the fast jets. Presumably a little easier on heli's & heavy's? An impressive variety of platforms passing through 👍
Daily diary of photography dream👍👍👍👍👍
I always look forward to a new video from you, thanks for the uploads.
My pleasure!
Happy New Years !!🥂👏Great stills this was my fireworks show 💥🥂🇨🇦More vids 2021 ❣️
Happy new year!!
Those eagles are straight up bad ass.
Very nice Elwyn, quality footage, hopefully more of the same this year for you, as well as the other events you normally do.
Hopefully I can travel up from the South a few times this year and see something.
Thanks, yes we should start getting back to some sort of normal later this year!
Yes fingers crossed.
Cracking video, this place is on my bucket list!
Brilliant and thanx for sharing. loved it👌👍
