Incredible footage. I spent most of my childhood in North Wales hearing these beauties flying overhead every single day whilst at school and college. Conveniently lunch time on the playground was always like a beautiful thunderstorm rolling by. Absolutely love the sound of the F-15s. When we lived in Morfa Bychan right on the coast, I remember one morning I woke up to the whole house shaking. They flew something absolutely massive REALLY low. Wouldnt surprise me if it was one of these at 4:52 but what a feeling that left on me. I wanted more than anything to serve as a pilot in the RAF when I was younger (my eyesight is unfortunately poor) after having the pleasure to watch and hear these fantastic pilots and gorgeous aircraft for nearly ten years every day.
I was a Marine platoon commander in Vietnam in 1969. Marine, Navy, and Air Force fighters saved our ass more than once and kept the enemy's heads down during our attacks. I will forever be thankful for them and I get choked up seeing them fly today 51 years later.

This is the most wicked video series of the World Renowonded Mach Loop. Thanks to everyone who takes these incredible video and shots especially. Great eyes and particularly the follow of these planes. BRAVO
@@ElwynR I'm a guy in a wheelchair I climb the heights with you in more ways than you might think. I'm a life long medium and I fly nightly to the places I want to see the most. I have lived next to Canadian Forces Air Bases and have been to many airshows while I was more able physically able. I especially love the Mach Loop with her screaming aircraft. I follow each and every post with Awe
One of my many reason's I join the the US Air Force back in 1979 is that I love watching combat aircraft. Love the sound they make. And I even got a chance to go TDY a few times to Edwards AFB, California and hear and feel those sonic boom's. Watched two Space Shuttle landings. And even better, The open house / Air show's I got to see at a lot of other Air Force bases. Now Retired, I live north west of Buckeye, Arizona and I can watch F-16 and F-35's fly by my home from Luke AFB every day. Love your videos, The sound , The pitchers. The sound of Freedom.
Seeing the C-130 flying the mach loop reminded me of the time after I retired from the Marine Corps that I was an independent consultant supporting DARPA technology programs for US special operations. I was tasked to train SOCEUR on a new software planning application. To test the software, I was invited on a SOCEUR exercise to both observe how the new planning sofrware worked but also to be the technical support to fix or work around any problems. It was a no notice exercise so I was in Germany for a few days before the execute order was given. We left Stuttgart airport in the late afternoon an flew in special forces Combat Talon C-130's at near tree top level to an abandon Soviet air base in Romania. I don't need to go into the exercise itself, but it was a complex hostage rescue operation from two locations simultaneously. Very realistic. I was the only tech guy on the exercise so I had to support both the day and night shifts. I got almost no sleep for 10 days. I was exhausted. When we arrived back at Stuttgart, I check into a hotel and decided to take a hot bath with a beer from the minibar. The next afternoon I woke up in the bathtub, there was full bottle of beer on the edge of the tub, it was obvious that the maid had been there, cleaned the bathroom and made the bed. I often wonder what the maid thought when she walked into the bathroom and saw a shriveled up body in a tub of cold water with an full beer on the edge of the tub. Oh, and I missed my flight back to the US. I had and I'm still having a great time in life. At 74 I've slowed down a bit, but have so many more unusual stories to remember. I had a pretty wild ride in life and I loved every minute. I am so thankful that I didn't have a real desk job. Yes, there were times in the Marine Corps and after I retired from the Marines that I had some time behind a desk, but the majority of my time in the Marines and after I retired was in the field. The greatest honor in my life is to have led Marines, especially in combat. After i retired from the Marines, I supported special operations forces and national mission forces for another 26 years before I retired permanently. The main reason I retired permanently on Dec 31, 2015 is because the travel requirements were getting to be to much. In the last half of 2015, I was on the road 23 out of the previous 25 weeks. On 31 Dec 2015, I decided to hang up my shootin' irons and live out the rest of my life in peace. I live in Florida. I have a nice house and beautiful yard. The winters are very mild. Everything is green and blooming year round. I enjoy lunches on the bay/beach at my favorite cafes eating crab boil shrimp and a glass of white wine. I smoke ribs and everything else in my backyard. I cook great Chinese, Spanish, Mexican, German, and other dishes. I love cooking. Perhaps because it's such a difference from the carnage of combat. I don't know. All I know is that cooking, smoking, and grilling are very relaxing and enjoyable compared to my previous life. However, I do watch my calories. At 74 I'm still the same weight as I was when I was a captain in the Marines. It's not all in the same place, but that's pretty good for being 74.
Brilliant video, the F15 is one of my favourite aircraft and I used to see quite a few of them when I was growing up in East Anglia. I liked the Union flag at 00:55 particularly as it was part of an Australian flag.
Great to watch. Lovely touch from the F15 pilot to have the Union flag on display. Welcome to Wales all you ladies and gentlemen from the US Air Force. 👍
FANFRIGGIN' FANTASTIC!😲 👍🇺🇸❤👏👨✈️ The D-day Invasion stripes on that F-15 were spot on😉😊! My Dad landed on Omaha Beach around 0400, sure would have appreciated air support like that 75 years ago....... R.I.P. Dad 'Ranger's led the way!
Incredible footage! I remember such trainings in Switzerland in the late 1980s when we were hiking in the mountains and the jets were flying low, but I had no camcorder then. Thanks for your movies!
A very unique perspective of variety of military Aircraft as I do like the heritage F-15 livery and the Chinook on the final cut scene which is magnificent :D
If only I had transport, what I'd give to be there. love this video and the snow shots of the F15's. I would love to be in the back seat of one going through the Mach loop.
Awesome video! I would love to visit someday. I grew up right by an airbase, and I always enjoyed watching the A-10's and KC-135's that flew in and out of there.
I’m a kid and I just went up the Mach loop today and me and my dad were up there for an hour and nothing came. So we went down and these 2 hawks went flying past us around thirty metres above us. It was so cool
Last one - defo one of the best! Love the Chinook (been working a few times in and around Grassington a few years back and had Apache gunships with Chinooks doing passes with the odd C130 low enough to keep you on the ball!)
Just want to say Happy New Year and a massive thanks for taking the time to stand out there in what can be some truly atrocious weather at times, Much appreciated.
The Apache was so well-built and ahead of it's time. The Apache is still one of the best Gunships out there, and it entered Service quite a few years ago!!!
Hello Elwyn, When we see the small white "clouding" around the wings; in Sprint Car Racing we call it........."Vapor Trail" I am sure it has something to do with the humidity in the air being disturbed by the wing !! AWESOME VIDEOS my friend !! Maybe someday you will come over to the Mid Atlantic Air Museum World War 2 Show in Reading, PA ?? Ot is always the first weekend in June to HONOR ........D-Day !! Cheers, Ed

Glad you enjoyed it
I’m grateful that the Americans keep a lot of fighters on our soil
Thanks for that!
Well we are your biggest baddest child. Despite that that disagreement we had in 1776 we are still family.
jay p now we’re leaving the EU let’s hope we can do a trade deal that’s beneficial to both sides
Bobby Brady oh yes we are!
Bobby Brady haha, I’m already in the UK, but thanks for your invitation!
Machloop F15s are always the best ones but they were my fav long before youtube... just thanks for all of these videos they are all amazing
My pleasure!
I’m just gonna say it.
The scenery of the Mach Loop is every bit as cool as these aircraft.
Its’s North Wales, in the UK. I live about 40 mins away from here.
Love watching this video it’s so good!...& the last shot is perfect the sound the positioning the aircraft & that sunset!..... perfect 👌
My Favourite Mach Loop Video where you can see Fighter Aircraft Low Level th-cam.com/video/INcWJYFvSkQ/w-d-xo.html

I'm pretty sure the backseater has an Aussie flag at the 1:00 min mark!
@@philcarr7969 Quite right, classic typo! First glimpse at 00:55. Thanks
Great to watch.
Lovely touch from the F15 pilot to have the Union flag on display.
Welcome to Wales all you ladies and gentlemen from the US Air Force. 👍
Cheers, I believe its the Australian Flag, but we had to zoom in to find that out
Exceptional footage Elwyn! Nice sunset at the end too. Wonderful!
cheers
Paint scheme reminds of the ww2 p47 thunderbolts in europe cool! Great job guys! Old school NEVER DIES.
Great work Elwyn. Those F15's look like pure evil. Great aircraft even if it is getting old.
Thanks for the Incredible photography and braving the elements to get that for us.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! СПАСИБО ВАМ БОЛЬШОЕ И С НОВЫМ ГОДОМ!!!!
F15 is the most beautiful aircraft ever.

I could watch theses aircraft all day everyday..they are awsome
Lovely to see some new angles, great work. Sometimes the same old angle from others gets boring.
Absolutely beautiful Elwyn! Thank you for taking us there with you
Beautiful footage! Wish I’d seen this when it came out!
Hope you’re faring well. Take care and stay frosty! From Jim in Columbia, Missouri,🇺🇸
Cheers Dr Olack
Love this, great memories! We had a caravan in Dinas Mawddwy so they'd fly straight over us :) Awesome quality video
Breathless! Beautiful airmanship all around!
Awesome footage, awesome camera work. Thankyou. Pleasure to watch.
Nice looking F-15s with the stripes,nice video and clarity. 😎
Good of the boys to proudly sport the UJ. Excellent assortment of AC. Great shots, I enjoyed it. Thanks!

Camera work close up on that f16 was amazing oh my god thanks for this page
magnifiques prises de vues!!!!you are the best!!merçi
kind words cheers
Excellent footage Elwyn..... look forward what you bring us 2020. =-)
A very unique perspective of variety of military Aircraft as I do like the heritage F-15 livery and the Chinook on the final cut scene which is magnificent :D
The F-15 is such an aesthetically pleasing airframe
And the F-16, must have been designed with human flair not computer efficiencies.
👍
SALUDOS CORDIALES A TODOS DESDE PANAMÁ Y GRACIAS POR SU VÍDEO, EXCELENTE IMAGEN. MUY BUENA. 🤗🤗🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦BLEES....
Great videos equally great scenery too, enjoy all your videos and let's hope for great things happening at the loop this new year..
Fingers crossed!
If only I had transport, what I'd give to be there. love this video and the snow shots of the F15's. I would love to be in the back seat of one going through the Mach loop.
Great video Elwyn loved the shots over lake Vyrnwy
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for your time and effort filming this and putting these clips together. GREAT VIDEO.

Wow Amazing clips Thanks for sharing
Thanks for visiting
@@ElwynR love your page when we out of lock down it the 1st place I'm going to visit. Thanks again for sharing

Thank You that was enjoyable to watch.

F-15s with invasion stripes!!!! That is really cool!
Yep, 492d Fighter Squadron from RAF Lakenheath.
Is that an F-15SE? It didnt look like an E
With what just happened, we may see more of those stripes. Shit just got real.
Keith Wagenknight There were 2 Es and 1C that were given D day stripes, one from each of the 492, 3 and 4th squadrons.
fantastic, just brilliant, nice work elwyn.
Thanks for the top notch footage as always and Happy New Year!
fantastic footage,F-15e what a beast
Excellent video, thanks for putting it together.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome shots brother! Thanks for the video. We get to see
this sometimes in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
For sure. I've had the crap scared out of me a number of times on both sides of Pinkham Notch.
cheers Scott, went over to Calafornia last year to watch them
Just want to say Happy New Year and a massive thanks for taking the time to stand out there in what can be some truly atrocious weather at times, Much appreciated.
Great work, as usual :) I so enjoy the steady smooth camera work which makes it so easy to watch!

cheers Eifion, Happy New year
Amazing footage keep up the awesome work
Happy New Year Elwyn! I Love your channel!
Wow F15 had to be the most elegant design of all time
Some amazing videography, absolutely stunning! The only thing missing was the Typhoons/Tornados....
I agree great shame the Tornado's have retired and shame the Typhoons are keeping away from the mach loop
Awesome filming job and thank you for posting!
Wishing you a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year.
cheers Almos, Happy New Year

Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for another great video mate
Hello Elwyn, When we see the small white "clouding" around the wings; in Sprint Car Racing we call it........."Vapor Trail" I am sure it has something to do with the humidity in the air being disturbed by the wing !! AWESOME VIDEOS my friend !! Maybe someday you will come over to the Mid Atlantic Air Museum World War 2 Show in Reading, PA ?? Ot is always the first weekend in June to HONOR ........D-Day !! Cheers, Ed
Elwyn, nice work once again! Happy New Year!
cheers John, Happy New Year
Superb filming - Thank you.
Thanks for the videos and the way you tell us what is flying by!! Those Apache helicopters are scary quiet!👍👍👍
Glad you like them!
The different styles are so amazing. Smooth or aggressive.
That heritage paint scheme on the F-15s looks awesome - maybe not the best camouflage, but "eye candy" for sure! 😍
Happy new year Elwyn! Great vid as always! Keep on posting for the next decade! Love your vids! Cheers!
cheers Ted, Happy New Year
Superb as always!!

Superb compilation
whoever you guys are please never ever stop posting these!
