DEATH VALLEY - THE LAST SHOW OF FORCE (4K)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- This footage is pretty much the last I have from Star Wars Canyon, Death Valley. Who knows if military aircraft will be allowed to fly through there again we will just have to wait and see. In the meantime I intend to explore other locations in the area to see what we find. First trip of the year will be in February subject to restrictions etc.
I'd like to put details aircraft, squadron and bases to the aircraft in the video but am unsure of a few of them. Rather than guess I'll put the time stamps down below and if anyone can help then put any details I need to know in the comments and Ill update as we go along.

I used to fly a LOT of radio controlled planes of all types before I got cancer,we flew to get these kind of views….low down,fast,inverted,knife edge….but the real thing is way better…thank you for all your vids mate ❤️
Thanks for watching as always.
R/C looks good fun
Hope your health improves
All the best for 2022
Pretty cool shots indeed. Hope you get better soon brother!
@@Mako2-1 thanks Justin,I’m all good at the moment thank you 🙂 have a great 2022 ❤️
Get better soon mate
you can try with doctor beirge (kieto)...God give you health.
Fantastic. I do know that many of the F18's fly out of Lemoore, CA. VFA-94, VFA-122, ect.
Thanks you. 👍
There's the F18 then the super hornet with more wing earea , big LEX & those inlets kinda of a angled rectangle.
NAS Lemore is the west coast HQ for Hornets, all the west coast Hornet/SUper Hornet fleet squadrons are based there. All the fleet EF-18G (5:19) are at NAS Whidbey Island in Washington State.
Funny to see you here lol. Was just watching your 18650 video earlier
@@muskaos China Lake and Fallon where Top Gun is now are minutes away.
Thanks, again, Dafydd, for another fabulous collection of videos and stills! Watching these folks fly those jets through all of the mountains, hills, and valleys tells me that they're doing so with amazing skill and discipline. It was also great to see the venerable old F-5 Tiger in there for an appearance. That's a jet that's been in inventory since 1960, both as the T-38 and the F-5!
Making my smoke break at work much more interesting 👌
The A-10 will always be my favourite.
Just love the A10 what a superb aircraft....
Not really.
@@zacharyradford5552 Says the man who knows!
Stunning action my friend, amazing footage!
Thank you
Happy new year my friend ✈️✈️✈️
@@DafyddPhillips Thanks, for you too :)
My brother is a retired navy Fighter pilot. He Once said that When they flew out in the desert, they would fly so low to the ground that in order for him to turn he had to pull up so his wing did not clip the ground. He's trained 2 or 3 of the blue angel pilots pilots. Hes been fortunate enough to be invited to fly with the Blue Angels on 3 occasions..
Thank you for the video just amazing!
The Super Hornet and Harrier duo was epic
Nice camo paint job on that still shot of the USN Super Hornet VFA-122 at 1:16 !!
Thanks Robert. I was lucky to catch that on my first visit back in March 2016. I’m pretty sure that airframe has been returned for parts now sadly.
Dude this is SO cool!!! Huge fighter jet fan, I can't even imagine the rush of seeing this in person...but you've given us the next best thing!! Glad I found your channel, great stuff as always!!!
Happy you found my channel Justin.
Thanks you and have a great 2022
You should try and get to an airshow
I used to work at them in Australia,the incredible force when the jets are close by is something you have to feel 👍
@@ArtVandelayOfficial I went to a few when I was a kid, but I definitely want to go to some more! Especially now that I know more about the jets and what I'm looking at!! 🤣
Gorgeous captures. Very brilliant and amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you.
Awesome close ups of our great Military. As a Veteran I’m still enthralled by their maneuvers!
Fantastic footage mate !
Thanks topfelya. Happy new year
Daff, you should consider making all these fantastics stills into a high quality photo book.
Two actually to be honest, one devoted to the Mach Loop and other to Death Valley.
Superb video show for the military jet nuts.
You keep going better and better and we subs get going happier and happier at every single new release.
Big Thank you!.
Thanks victor. I will have to look into it.
Appreciate the tip
@@DafyddPhillips Or do a badass calendar, it would sell like hot cakes
That is a cool video... most are but the Rhino with the Harrier flight of two... that was really cool. Nicely done.
Thanks Eddie. 👍
Dafydd Philips I must have throughly enjoyed watching your plane spotting photo shoot very much indeed
Thanks Rhian, happy you enjoyed 😎✈️
Beautiful!!! My dad Don Yenko loved to fly, but jets weren’t mainstream when he was in the Air Force. He would have lived flying fast. He usually flew on the ground with his muscle cars!!!
Excellent work following these beautiful machines. Stills are perfect. Thanks. I kept thinking how easy it would be to misjudge the terrain at the speeds these gutsy pilots were flying. Bold and beautiful!
Thank you.
Happy you enjoyed.
you can't see it, but I have a Big smile & giving 2 thumbs up !!! Awesome
Thank you!!
Appreciated 😎
Beautiful pictures…absolutely fantastic
Thank you Tom
Now that was awesome the ole harrier jet was moving,the whistle of the wart hog and that tan camo f18 is tight 👍👍👍👍
This is the best Star Wars Canyon video I've seen. Love your work.... it's absolutely Amazing and I love to Share it with people.... Keep it up !!! Love the Mach Loop as Well , of course !!! Take care and Be Well my friend...
Thanks Donald. Appreciate your words 😎👍
Stay safe
Very good informative article about these beautiful birds and playground. Keep up the good work boss.. Happy new year to all..
Thanks Willie.
Have a great 2022
@@DafyddPhillips thanks boss would have loved to see you coming to South Africa but with those birds flying.. God's blessings to you and your family as well as your travels around the world..
another beautiful video. Awesome
Thanks Mike.
these guys and gals are having allot of fun!!!
That AV-8 pic at 6:26 is truly one amazing photograph! This photographer has some serious skill.
Thank you.
Thank you for being out there and sharing these visuals with the world!
Thank you.
It’s a pleasure.
Looks like good’ol Star Wars canyon in our beloved R2508.
Great vid! We’ll have to stop by up there on the ridge for some relationship building some time.
Wonderful, Star Wars canyon captured by the best👏👏👏
Thank you.
Incredible footage, both video and stills! Enjoy watching these planes and the skills of the aircrews operating them👍
Also, enjoy footage you have from the Mach Loop! Amazingly beautiful countryside.
Wishing you a Blessed and Happy New Year 2022!!! Thanks for the video and “stills” you share.
Thanks Tim, appreciate you watching my channel
All the best for 2022
Daf
Excellent....such clarity is a bonus
Thank you
I want to take my son to see the angels fly by one day…living by MAFB in so cal everytime I hear them getting ready to land it’s amazing hearing them pass by
So awesome Dafydd! I like the details of the planes in the description, I wish I could help. I sincerely hope you’re successful come February and safe travels when you do
Thanks Franklyn. It will be a good adventure 🇺🇸✈️.
Amazing as always, btw all those photos would make a great calendar, if you haven't already.
Thank you. I do have an idea for the future.
FANTASTIC STUFF !!! I COULD WATCH THAT ALL DAY. I’ve gone camping several times near that area. On occasion we’d see a jet or two scream by but nothing like that. Thanks for putting that out.
Happy you enjoyed it gus. It used to be a magical place. ✈️✈️👌
Brilliant video yet again. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you 😎👍
im glad i got to see it few years back
Wow that was amazing...that ending mustve been effing awesome
Thanks Adam, It was pretty special ✈️🤠👍
Great seeing this show of force includes some F-5s and the A-10! Two of my faves.
Gorgeous scenery, gorgeous airframes! Nice to see the venerable F-5 in the mix too.
That was freaking AWESOME!!! Amazing footage! Thanks so much! So different than the Mach Loop!
The Rhino and Harrier... wow!
Those pictures are absolutely outstanding 10/10 just brilliant 👏 👏👍👌
Thanks Stephen.
Nice to see the Harrier, I miss them, I used to see them alot over the Cambridgeshire fens, England, being near to RAF Wittering.
Good to see a plane from VFA-122 as I was attached to VA-122 from 1974 to 1978 when we flew A-7 Corsair II's.
The footage you post is absolutely amazing to say the least. I catch, try to, all of them just to see and ID all of the aircraft. More so, just hear the sound of jet blast. The still photos are off the hook!
Thanks Samual, happy you enjoyed and appreciate you watching.
Amazing those T 38s are still in service.
CLASS !! THANK YOU!! СПАСИБО!!
Thanks for watching
That is a good example of why we need an A-10, flew slower, and much much lower😎
Excellent footage and stills of such a variety of these incredible jets. It much be such an awesome experience seeing these live and so close up. Keep up the great work. Your followers really appreciate it.
Thanks you.
Appreciate you watching 👍😎
Theres just something sexy about an F16 and an A10.
I'm dyed Navy blue, but man I love those Falcons! ...and the alien skin on the F35's, too cool!
Great video as I was watching I was naming every single jet that flew by everything from the A10 to the Harrier. Dang I am out towards Lucerne Valley sure wish I could have been there to watch those guys fly anyway great video good job👍
Thank Brian, happy you enjoyed it ✈️✈️👍
Great video daffyd, stunning footage and stills , beautiful and brilliant aircraft on show, amazing, happy new year 😀👌👍
Thanks Shaun.
Happy 2022
Beautiful filming Mr Phillips
Thanks Andy
A10C Thunderbolt look so impressive
Excellent footage, I could watch this all day. Mach Loop is on my bucket list!
Thank you. It can be a magical place ✈️✈️🏴
Very magnificent capture and very fantastic footage from the Death Valley of various aircrafts 😎🤩👍
thanks Douglas
@@DafyddPhillips you are very much welcome bro 😊😁
Excellent footage and stills again Dafydd, here's hoping that you find a new location for filming and continue to bring these quality videos to us 🤞
Happy New Year to you and yours 👍✈️
Thanks Andy, been studying potential locations on google earth and planning a trip out in February subject to restrictions 🤞
Happy new year to you also
Your stills are just a work of art my friend, very well done :-)
Thank you, appreciated.
Happy new year
I've been there many times over the years and always enjoyed watching and photographing the planes. I was there just last week and heard jets high above us but none ever entered the canyon :/
That’s the norm now Paul, nothing flies below 1500 feet
@@DafyddPhillips Has it been that way since the crash at this location?
@@SpartanGuy yes.
@@DafyddPhillips then where and how will they do their low altitude training?..makes no sense..🤔
@@michaelsteven1090 Exactly. But, I guess there's an argument to be made that maybe low altitude training isn't as necessary for today's wars as it used to be? I don't know. I still think it's worth having it for training. But with everything being so expensive, when a multi-million dollar fighter crashes, it hits a lot harder with the DoD nowadays than it used to. That's not to say that the loss of life isn't the most important aspect, because it is.
Good luck finding another spot. Hopefully it returns.
Red Flag is always AWESOME
Thank you. I’ll explore some other locations soon. I’ve been to Nellis for red flag. It was pretty busy 🇺🇸✈️✈️👍
nice! i liked the montage at the end - a lot! some interesting aircraft, and even nasa showed up! didn't know they were such party animals!!
Priceless footage. And to see the Harrier! Wow!
Thanks as always and happy new year ! Looking forward to that new Lotus too.
Thanks Francois. Happy 2022
Love the sound of that A10
FELIZ AÑO NUEVO PHILIP Y MUCHA SALUD.
UN ABRAZO GRANDE DESDE ESPAÑA
Gracias 🇪🇸
That 3º splay on the Superhornets pylons is evident. Great footage.
Love the videos, thank you for the content! A great mix of American firepower!
Thank you
🇺🇸✈️
Stunning as always Dafydd.
Thank you
Them Super Hornets do just be so beautiful.
Funny how people build an affinity for a certain jet that stays with them. I grew up a navy brat in the 60s and 70s. Dad was an ABH carrier deck man. That's where I got acquainted with the Tomcat, then spent the last half of the 70s in Murphy Canyon watching them out of Miramar everyday. Wandered through the forbiden hills with my faithful German Sheperd day and night enjoying that awesome jet. Can't help missing them in a video like this. That aside, thank you for the killer footage.
Thanks Toby. Must of been great times watching the tomcat. Do the us navy still use Murphy canyon??
@@DafyddPhillips Marine Corps now.
@@Toonafish-b8q of course sorry.
I love this, let's hope they continue to fly there, it's like the Mach Loop here in the UK. Great place for training and getting great videos and photos.
Awesome video! I always wanted to go there, but never had the chance. Looks like I may never get the chance at this point... Thanks for sharing this, love it!!
Thanks for watching.
Fingers crossed they will start using it again one day 🤞
Happy 2022
@@DafyddPhillips I hope so! Love your channel man!
Great video as always! I live in central CA and explore the southwest, but have never seen these military fights when looking for them. I have, on occasion been buzzed by low flying jets!
I assume the 2019 crash caused the end of low level flight in the canyon.
Thanks!
Thanks Steve. Yes it was that incident that stopped it. I got buzzed once driving from DV to Owen’s lake. Watching him from about 2 miles out coming at us down a straight. If only I had a dash cam!! ✈️👌
Very nice splintercamo on some of those F18 👍
Fantastic, thank you and Happy New Year to You! Well, I think it would be a mistake to stop flying there because of an accident. Not disrespecting the pilot who died there and his family, I think if pilots stop flying there, flying will become more dangerous, because flying low in hard terrain like here, is what makes them more competent in their flying career. We only get better thanks to harder things. 👍🍀🥂
Thanks Raymond and happy new year to you also. I agree with you on that. 👍
I remember that accident. Last year or the year before. I was definitely Saddened to hear of that...
OMG! Oh, how I would LOVE to be in one of those babies!! If I could do one thing before I pass on, it would be to fly in one of these beautiful birds!! God Bless America! Perhaps I can get out there and see them someday. Peace to all.
Absolutely beautiful, awesome, beautifully awesome..... I don't know what all.... Thank you!
Thanks you 😎👍
Nice, nice, nice! " The hills are aglow with the sound of jet music", this ain't no Mary Poppin show folks. Once again such great video of these birds. Boy that A-10 was a special treat. Hope your New Years was SONIC!
Thanks Scott. Happy 2022!!, can’t wait to get back to the jets ✈️✈️🤞
"the hills are alive with the sound of music " is from The Sound of Music, not Mary Poppin
This makes me even more ready for the new Top Gun, lol.
I can’t wait also ✈️✈️✈️
Awesome footage and awesome stills thanks for sharing!
Thanks Steve.
Appreciate you watching

Great video and stills of the jets as they scream by…..love the look of the camo colours on the Hornets….
Thank you.
Absolutely amazing, keep up the hard work!!
Thank you.
Will do 🎓✈️
Beautiful, high quality footage and shots! Thank you.
Wait what? They are shutting down Star Wars Canyon? WTF I grew up in that Area.
Sadly Eric nothing military has flown through the canyon since the miss hap of 2019. The sidewinder is open as usual with jets flying over the canyon at 1500 feet
It was shut down a year or so back after a plane crashed and a pilot was killed right near the spectator viewing area. I thought it had re-opened but I'm not so sure now.
Amazing and superb video… as always!
Thanks for sharing, Happy New Year!!!
Thanks you and have a great 2022
Awesome photography! The stills are amazing!
Thanks Allen.
Any of the birds with NJ markings on the tail are part of the RAG/Ready Air Group (basically training squadron. If they're EA-18 Growlers they're from NAS Whidbey Island VAQ-129. Growlers look like Hornets but have two seats and receiver arrays on the wingtips. Of course this group probably already knows all this...
Now that I am an old fart I miss going supersonic. Still love the noise. That’s as close as I can get these days.
Very Cool...You're a long way from Kansas Dorothy...
