Amazing video!!! I've always wanted to see what it's like to fly low level up over Windermere, Dunmail Raise and Thirlmere. Interesting route via St Johns in the Vale then turning over Derwent Water and Bassenthwaite. Brilliant stuff which I'll watch many more times!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
They fly over great carrs fell where a Halifax bomber crashed in WW2 on a training sortie low cloud caused them to crash , wreckage can be still seen , undercarriage and molten aluminium fused to the rocks , sad sight but still remembered people leave poppies at the site
Did this a few times in Hawks when I was in, over the Lake District and Wales. You can certainly hear the cold air unit, that is right behind the rear seat, on the top of the fuselage, winding up and down.
I wondered what the noise was that fluctuated - thanks for explaining, everyday is a school day. How low, do you reckon they were, over the lakes, relative to the 500' rule (does that apply to military aircraft?)? All looked like a lot of fun✌️👍😊
Just seen this , would love a trip around this neck of the woods . Apart from the flying skills the views of some of the most beautiful countryside and hills this is amazing . Maybe one day flips around the mach loop and windermere areas for joe public will be available in the back of a Hawk . But excellent to watch .
I feel that my F15 DCS flights after 8 pints of beer are pretty compatible to this 😂 Seriously though, I would sell an organ or family member to fly this for real.
I play DCS so much and using a head tracker. When I watch videos like this I find myself turning my head to look around but forgetting it won't work here haha
i love seeing these flying over in the summer. i work in one of the pubs in Ambleside and the guests always ask where you take off from i say somewhere in Wales i think. keep up the good work love the vid
Throttle modulation. If you drive a vehicle at the same speed as the vehicle in front of you, do you worry about what throttle setting you have, and the weight differential between you and the other vehicle? Same thing.
@@dorsetdumpling5387: jets don’t glide very well. No gliding to the nearest runway - you’d only option would be a dead stick landing which requires a lot of height to set up. To carry out a dead stick landing, there are 2 keys (position and height above the runway) - high key and low key. If you miss either of those keys, a Martin-Baker letdown is in the cards.
No where to land in the Lakes apart from a lake. Pilot would pull up to gain height , look for the best place to ditch the plane without killing anyone on the ground and then eject after the co-pilot
Are you a pilot ? Please can you post some more Eurofighter or Hawk videos, I love the aircraft but I'm sadly living in a country that has no jets. Are you still in service with the RAF ?
I can't think what the Red Arrows are going to replace this with as it's just a perfect all round aircraft for them, both technically and aesthetically. Today's jets are so ugly with no character, just flying computers. Gone are the Phantom, Buccaneer, Jaguar and the Hawk won't be far behind and now we have the soulless Typhoon and F-35's
How the lovley after burner of the typhoon and the vtol f35 yes the older one's are nice but these are not soulless all with their character did the phantom or jaguar do vtol? no only the harrier which is not in service but the f35 is still just stating my opinion by the way
Then they need the book throwing at them. It's a drone pilot's responsibility to ensure that the location is safe for flying (and yes I fly a drone) and any reasonable check of that location would show that it's not a suitable location to fly a drone during times when low level training flights might be operating.
@@webrambler88 I get what you're saying but tourist or unfamiliar with the area makes no difference. In fact, as a drone pilot, they should do even more checks before flying in a new location.

No, it's explosive. In the event that the pilots need to eject the explosive will trigger in the canopy a fraction of a second prior to the ejection seat firing to shatter it.
And this is precisely why drones should not be flown in the Lake District..........These guys can come through anytime, without notice. And have been doing so for decades......

Was mach loop at the end also
They call the lakes low flying area LFA17. Can’t believe it took them less than 4 minutes to complete a 1.5hr drive!
Wow ! The feeling must be fantastic, unbelievably exhilarating.
The BAE Hawk - nippy little " bastards " beautiful aircraft !
Flew F-111F lower and faster all over the UK in the 80’s. Loch runs in N.Scotland were particularly fun 👍
Out of Heyford?
Hi Todd, you interrupted our school class lessons for a few seconds every day when you transit over around 1000 feet. Love see the Aards.

These guys are what it's all about! Very proud!!
Love those 90 degree banks.
Can i book my turn in the back seat now, and where do i pay
£50,000 please
Where do I pay as well..:)
Get yourself a vr headset and the just flight hawk for mfs2020 😊
I just wish i could win the lottery coz thats the 1st thing i'd do.
Ah tell me about it!

@@musoseven8218 In places down to 250ft nut usually 500ft, Its low

WOW no words just awesome sound.
Thank you.
Power thrust burn!?!
There is literally nothing cooler on this planet than doing this!! ❤️❤️
I was in the lakes one weekend , walking up the side of a valley, and a jet flew down the valley, and we were higher up, looking down on the jet
Who is noisy twit ?
Same in Snowdonia
Tatty Ton hawk. Great squadron. Great aeroplane. Back seat is an even better view than the front.
Passion . Look Amazing. Are they still in the game when you talk about air to air combat.
I feel that my F15 DCS flights after 8 pints of beer are pretty compatible to this 😂
Seriously though, I would sell an organ or family member to fly this for real.
Is that the Kernow Flag on The pilots Helmet?
I like to see these fly around they have a cool look about them in black, I wonder if they have operational capability.
I play DCS so much and using a head tracker. When I watch videos like this I find myself turning my head to look around but forgetting it won't work here haha
You're not alone. I do that when watching other people's DCS videos too!
It's nice they've put a "This Way Up" sign on the cockpit windscreen to aid the pilot.
i love seeing these flying over in the summer. i work in one of the pubs in Ambleside and the guests always ask where you take off from i say somewhere in Wales i think. keep up the good work love the vid
RAF Valley I would think
Looks like 100 Squadron from RAF Leeming, North Yorkshire.
Always wanted to fly in a fast jet …. Had plenty of low level in the back of a C130 with a parachute on BUT one day ……
Fantastic video, thanks for posting. How do 2 aircraft fly at the same speed? Does each aircraft have different power settings depending on weight?
Throttle modulation. If you drive a vehicle at the same speed as the vehicle in front of you, do you worry about what throttle setting you have, and the weight differential between you and the other vehicle? Same thing.
lead aircraft sets direction, roc, speed etc. 2nd aircraft focuses on a location say left rear 50feet @45degrees and maintains that no matter what.
I've done this from Valley in a T1, loved it............ ;-)
Hellfire! top of my bucket list
Hi my dad was Wg Cdr Darren Legg, I was wondering if you ever flew or have footage of him?
Not bad look out either...keep it up!
Nice, keep up the good work
What a brilliant video.
What speed is it? In km/hr. Please.
Hawk is single engined isn't it? Don't you worry about engine failure when at 200ft and going like hell?!
What fun, though.
The Hawk is single engine yes, but very reliable! There are procedures should the worst happen though.
Immediately pull the nose up gaining altitude and glide to nearest available runway I believe
Trade speed for altitude then consider your options! If all else fails, pray to your Lord(s) but put your faith in Martin Baker.

What if someone was flying a drone when the fighter jets flew so low?

@@tmonkeybits9082 of course but imagine a tourist who might not be aware of this military training in the area...
@@webrambler88 I get what you're saying but tourist or unfamiliar with the area makes no difference. In fact, as a drone pilot, they should do even more checks before flying in a new location.
Excellent work 👏.. more head roll and observation would be beneficial
Leeming Hawks 100 squadron. The best!!
151F Sqn mate RAF Chivenor late 1980s I think you will find were the best
Good to know my house is protected by Hawks :-)
Awesome 🤙
Fabulous flight
① I love the username. Does it really represents you or is it one you just came up with?
② The takeoff was quite precise. The second plane pulled up left of you, you both started rolling at the same time, and you both lifted off at the same time.
But did you deliver a pizza and no doz?
top show guys
Done something similar in an F18 on DCS......I'm ready!
What are this thing on the hod ? Is it deice ??
No, it's explosive. In the event that the pilots need to eject the explosive will trigger in the canopy a fraction of a second prior to the ejection seat firing to shatter it.
And this is precisely why drones should not be flown in the Lake District..........These guys can come through anytime, without notice. And have been doing so for decades......
Low level? Ever driven an F111?
All T1s retired and gone from RAF Leeming now 😥
I see you guys going over Grasmere
Nice😎
That’s not low! I’ve been so low in a Hawk over Windermere I had to raise the seat to stop my feet getting wet! 2002….
これは？マックloop！パイロット目線の動画は初めて見ました。(*^▽^*)
So when do they do the low level bit?
400mph at 200feet is plenty low for training! First timers usually have little brown marks on their underpants🤣😂🤣😂🤣
May God Bless ALL the armed forces - Men and Women x
TrackIR looks a bit jerky.
Is the base there taking off from RAF leeming ?
yes
It is now. Since 95. Finningley and Wyton prior to that.
Quase quebrou o trem de pouso.
Hard landing
Standard military landing. Ryanair would discipline him for a landing that soft 😂
raf leeming
trainers
Good video, except for the death's head skulls on the tail - the same ones SS had on their caps during the second war. Yuck
The Sqn was formed in 1917, and used that emblem from its formation. A long time before that specific German unit started or was even thought about.
Don't forget Captain Pugwash used it too.
He was an evil bastard.
