I have grown to love the F35 and the more modern fighter jets but there is just something REALLY special about the venerable F15 passing through the loop that just gives me chills. Can you even imagine the thrill if somehow a still air worthy F14 (LOL, other than flown by "Maverick") passed through the loop?
and to think a prop airplane with a good pilot shot down jet fighters all the time... p51d taking out me262's lol but the ral problem is,,, nowaday pilots can hit shit with guns...theyre totally dependent on locking on a letting a missile do it for them... well try locking onto say, a dehaviland mosquito LOL they got a cross signature of a bloody..... well mosquito, so no locking for you kinda thing :-(
Dafydd, EXCELLENT as always! The incredible videography and stills pulled out are nothing short of amazing👍. I feel like I use the same descriptors time after time, but I don’t know how else to say, “Incredibly Amazing!” Thank you for sharing these clips for those of us unable to make it to the MACH LOOP or wherever you may be🙏. You have an incredible talent with the photography skills. Thanks again from the Bluegrass region of central KENTUCKY USA! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Love the F-15. Can’t beat that beauty IMO!
Who invented this? This is an absolute marvel and testament to the brilliant engineering of modern aviation. Letting these beautiful birds strut down the catwalk. I could watch these all day...wait, what time is it? Aw hell...
Maaannnnn you have some of the best footage on TH-cam. Thanks for bringing us all of these amazing birds, and thanks for really showcasing how amazing the Strike Eagle looks from literally every angle.
Had just put up a high gain discone antenna and was listening on the MIL ATC frequencies at home and heard the chatter. Seemed like it was going to be a busy day 😁
@@DafyddPhillips Soooo, you have got yourself a challenge. The MACH loop has become a legend in its own time. The RAF should really investigate in making it a TV documentary. You really know how to take pictures and video. Sooo, be prepared 🙂
Superb footage and stills again Daf 👍👌🏴✈️🇺🇲 Ohhhhh boy do I need to get my cam belt changed, I'm missing all the fun in the Loop 🙄😂 You keep posting n I'll keep watching 👍😎
Many thanks. It’s always been available but without the benefit of the path. It’s best to park down at minfordd and walk up the open access land from there. Its steep 🤠👍
Amazing video/photos as always. I didn’t realize there was so few F-15 fly pass. Was going to book flight and fly half way around the world to see F-15s in the Mach Loop…any idea when are the squadrons back to the UK?
Is this OK in lambing season? Beautifully filmed. Also wondering what the dead straight line going from top to bottom of the left hill near the edge of the picture at 3.38/9. ?
Many thanks. The MOD do issue a timetable but I wouldn’t go by it. You just have to turn up and hope the jets do also. A bit like fishing Good luck if you decide to go ✈️🙏
Hi Mike, most of Lakenheath’s eagles are out of the country and have been for a while now. Only a handful of eagles have visited the loop in the last six months. Thanks for watching, appreciate.
@@DafyddPhillips Got it, having lived overseas for a while now I don't keep track so much. Some of the LN 35s are in Abu Dhabi, or at least were a month or two back. Cheers.
Thanks Karl, 500mm is good for certain shots but would over fill the frame when the planes are at their closest. If you can pan the cockpit then some great results no doubt.
this is Wales right, then why are there f-15s if the united kingdom only has eurofighters and tornado's? Btw how do you know when they fly there because i have a app that shows me what kind of aircraft there is in the world?
ohhhhh right its a place.. LOL couldnt get my head around doing a loop at Mach speed... be like 5 miles to tak a 180 lol bah... pilots... always thinking pilot shit,, I had to google " what is a mach loop LOL
Still a beauty the F15, thanks Dafydd.
It’s a timeless piece of science. Thanks for watching
Absolutely spectacular photos, but the "Hi Mom" truly made me smile!!
Happy you liked them
Thanks for watching
As always , epic videos & stills ! Many thanks for giving access to those who can't make it .
Glad you like them!
Thanks Anthony
Nice to see the 15s hit the loop 👌 The photos 🤙
Indeed. Diolch 👍
"Hi Mom" LOL! Also great was the one with the UNC (University of NC) banner, even though I'm a fan of one of their rivals. Go NCSU!!!
Thanks Dafydd for being out there and providing us with some very cool quality content. Looking forward to the day when you come back to The States
Thanks Leo. Have 17 days planned in September/october. Maybe a week before then also 🤞
Absolutely fantastic brilliant you've gone and done it again. Just 100% brilliant thank you
Many thanks Michelle

Many thanks for your kind words Tim, much appreciated.
Yes the F-15 is a timeless marvel which I love to photograph.
Daf
Great job Dafydd! Can never get enough!
Many thanks
C'est au-delà du sublime !! Merci beaucoup pour tout ça 😘🌹🇫🇷
Merci.
nooooo, tak toto byla paraaaada, podle mne pěkná pozice THX

Many, many thanks for this, Dafydd ,from OZ.
My pleasure!
Thanks for watching.
Impeccable shots, as always!!
Thanks as always mr Ben
*Spectacular 🔥*

Excellent video brother. Greetings from across the pond in Nova Scotia, Canada
Many thanks Andrew.
Really great video as always.
Many thanks

Thanks for watching. 👍
Love it.
Many thanks for watching
Phenomenal footage as always, cheers
Many thanks 👍
Had just put up a high gain discone antenna and was listening on the MIL ATC frequencies at home and heard the chatter. Seemed like it was going to be a busy day 😁
Brilliant!!
Many thanks
Really cool. It would be nice to see every airplane from the start of the run to the end.
It’s 37miles in total with many places inaccessible through the route. If I get a chance to hook a ride I’ll do a full video. 🙏🤠
@@DafyddPhillips Soooo, you have got yourself a challenge. The MACH loop has become a legend in its own time. The RAF should really investigate in making it a TV documentary. You really know how to take pictures and video. Sooo, be prepared 🙂
Simply the best! Thanks
Many thanks Gary
Very good video... Amazing pilot and plane. Greetings from Ecuador 😊
Thank you very much!
Quelle beauté le f15 strike Eagles, avec le regretté et légendaire Panavia Tornado
Superb footage and stills again Daf 👍👌🏴✈️🇺🇲
Ohhhhh boy do I need to get my cam belt changed, I'm missing all the fun in the Loop 🙄😂
You keep posting n I'll keep watching 👍😎
Beautiful countryside. These pilots are experiencing high-speed tourism.
Which is pretty rare here in sleepy wales 🤠.
Thanks for watching
Those still shots really make the video pop.
Thought for a moment that Pc Plod was having a go at the loop. 😂
Many thanks Mike.
The F15 a "proper job" brilliant as always thanks for your efforts👍
Many thanks John.
Nice one mate, good to see Corris corner back in use.
Many thanks. It’s always been available but without the benefit of the path. It’s best to park down at minfordd and walk up the open access land from there. Its steep 🤠👍
Thanks Big D! Beautifully filmed again! Metal Magic! ✈️
Cheers Stuart 👍
Truly amazing post once again. Thankyou Dafydd pretty awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks as always 👍
Love the fast PC-21s
They flew over Porthmadog yesterday. Wonderful sight 😎
That is fantastic and love the F-15E Strike Eagle 😊
Thanks Douglas.
@@DafyddPhillips you are most welcome and cheers 😎
Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks. Nice mix. All the best
Many thanks Dana
Another fantastic video, Dafydd!
Many thanks John.
Great video mate and great location.
Cheers Steve 👍
Nice compilation, well done. UK
Many thanks David 👍
Indeed rare, and increasingly so. Perhaps it will find a way to live on like the A10.
JET PILOTS NOTHING BUT BAD ASSED!!!!!
Indeed ✈️✈️👌
Wow , just found your chanell , absolutly brilliant
Welcome aboard John.
Many thanks !!
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love it
Thank you.
Number one channel
Many thanks Bernard
Great footage dafydd.given my preference i would take the nearly 50 year old F15 anyday one sexy jet
Many thanks Andy, it’s a stunning jet.
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks for watching
F15 is the Mike Tyson of jet fighters!!!!!!!
❤❤❤
That camera cost more than my truck !!! Thanks DP
Thanks for watching 👍
They're fully loaded. McDill AFB has been closed to the public for a while. I wonder what's brewing...
Amazing video/photos as always. I didn’t realize there was so few F-15 fly pass. Was going to book flight and fly half way around the world to see F-15s in the Mach Loop…any idea when are the squadrons back to the UK?
Many thanks! I’m unsure when most return.. I believe some are out in Nellis for red flag so they won’t be long
Excellent work! How I would like to be there.
Thanks pablo, it can be a magical place
❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
Is this OK in lambing season? Beautifully filmed. Also wondering what the dead straight line going from top to bottom of the left hill near the edge of the picture at 3.38/9. ?
Outstanding photos and videos!
Do the RAF bases post schedules of when they will be conducting training runs?
Many thanks. The MOD do issue a timetable but I wouldn’t go by it. You just have to turn up and hope the jets do also. A bit like fishing
Good luck if you decide to go ✈️🙏
roger that@@DafyddPhillips and thank you again for all that information!
Where in the U.K. is this? Great videos and photos. Thanks.
Thanks Russel, Mach loop wales
These still shots are phenomenal! Have you ever offered any of the pilots prints for their service?
Many thanks Scott, they do often get in contact for copies 👍
Is it always so busy? great filming
Far from it sadly, this was two days filming
Are the F15s less frequent now? There was a time they were as regular as a Hawk! Great vid and shots as akways 👌🏼
Hi Mike, most of Lakenheath’s eagles are out of the country and have been for a while now. Only a handful of eagles have visited the loop in the last six months.
Thanks for watching, appreciate.
@@DafyddPhillips Got it, having lived overseas for a while now I don't keep track so much. Some of the LN 35s are in Abu Dhabi, or at least were a month or two back. Cheers.
Great video again, quick question Dafydd do you think 500mm is too much for the loop?
Thanks Karl, 500mm is good for certain shots but would over fill the frame when the planes are at their closest. If you can pan the cockpit then some great results no doubt.
@DafyddPhillips Cheers 👍 I'll bring my 100-400 next time I'm down as well.
Great work! Is this cad east or west?
Thank you, I’m further down from cad by tal y llyn for the f-15s and in the bwlch for the f-35s.
Hi Mom 😆 why not.
🤠👍
Do you ever send videos and photos to the crew of the aircaft? Sure they would love to have them.
Pilots do get in contact occasionally for photos and hopefully they watch the vids on here 🤞🤠
Thanks for watching
A would bet they do watch 👍@@DafyddPhillips
Love to be there in real life
How do you find out when they will fly by ? That's cool
Just turn up and hope. Weekdays only.
Diolch am yr A400m!
Is this a new vantage point? Are you further down the valley, nearer the lake?
We were on the bwlch and this a400 came down from Bala to cad. Diolch am wylio Dai.
Catch up soon!
Another mixed bag there Dafydd. F15’s are noisy old brutes or is it just me?
Thanks Charles, yes the eagles do knock some decibels out 🤠👍
I think some F-22 and some Fat Amy aka F-35.
Do you know which planes will be running the loop day to day?
Or is it a surprise?
There is never a published schedule. Some days there is lots of activity, other days none. Pure pot luck.
It’s like fishing. Who knows what will turn up next ✈️✈️🤞
Perhaps having a spotter at Marham or Lakenheath might be useful? 😁
Where is the location of this beautiful place?
It’s the Mach loop in wales
this is Wales right, then why are there f-15s if the united kingdom only has eurofighters and tornado's? Btw how do you know when they fly there because i have a app that shows me what kind of aircraft there is in the world?
Hello...what are the coordinates of this location? thanks
Mach loop wales
Was that a Police heli going through?
It was a training helicopter out of RAF shawbury.
Thanks for watching
@@DafyddPhillips Suppose they should have to practice thru' the Loop in case there's an 'OOPS' one day.
Anhygoel fel bob amser
Diolch Rhys 🏴👍
LOL @ UNC flag!!!
F15s rare in the mach loop?
These days I’m afraid. So many out of the country.
ohhhhh right its a place.. LOL couldnt get my head around doing a loop at Mach speed... be like 5 miles to tak a 180 lol bah... pilots... always thinking pilot shit,, I had to google " what is a mach loop LOL
It confuses many, thanks for watching
