  • I'm going to the loop in a couple weeks time for a first. Hope i get some great shots !!

  • damn!!! the only thing wrong w/ this video is that it ended!!!!

  • My wife and I loved our visit to Wales. What a great way to see the scenery. ;-)

  • crazy video!

  • Nice!

  • Cure for ED right there.

  • the afterburner at 2.29 !!

  • Awesome, theres fuck all else in wales LOL!

    Need to go there!!

  • Videos like this make me miss being an F-15E crew chief!! Thanks so much for posting this, it brought back a lot of memories!

  • 1 person is a jealous trolll.

  • Stunning, I get to see these everyday

  • Why have I not come across this video before? Incredible! Thanks for posting.

  • One person is an al-Qaeda member hiding underneath his mommy's bed blankets!!!

  • wow excellent footage, i love they way the howl when they go past, i go to Lakenheath lots, just need to find the time to go here. I was lucky to meet a bunch of the pilots that fly the F-15E from lakenheath, very friendly guys.

  • @17GAZZANIKON I hear night ops are fun to watch at Lakenheath, must be great to get a base tour.

  • @Wonkabar007 yep ive been there for two night ops, kinda scary when i stood on the aporach line and the jets roar over head comming into land and you cant see them, and then seeing the afterburners on takeoff, totally amazing!

  • @17GAZZANIKON I live near Lakenheath, and am desperate to see them take off & land, but I never know when they are operational, and yet there's always people that seem to know beforehand when one is to take off/land :( how is it you find out when to see them?

  • WOW! thats what im talking about! I saw F-4 with new engines and it was impressive

  • U.S.A.F .... Enough said

  • friggn sweet!!

  • What a video!

    Thanks for that, Im going to have to get up there one day, with my picnic and recliner and survey events.

    I dont suppose the local AFB does a timetable? I know its not an airshow ofc, but do they release a schedule at all?

  • @gnark1ll1us Its very much down to luck, a few folks do seem to have a heads-up on events, but they don't tell.

    If ur there and suddenly see guys appearing on the hill tops, like in the film "Zulu", then a big group of F-15 are about to fly through.

  • @gnark1ll1us (dot)raf(dot)mod(dot)uk/crowal­es/exerciseops/lfa7ttimetable.­cfm

  • listen to the scream of that pratt and whitney

  • dude the sound is like ur there

  • @sawtrycolts cause everyone would go deaf.. Now if there were some f-16s they probably would :)

  • the pilot wave hand :)

    

  • BEautiful scenery with a beautiful jet!

  • Strike Eagles! Fast and low is the way to go!

  • Excellent. Thank- you for posting.

  • awesome footage and sound.

  • God I love F-15's.....

  • Coolest flight video.

  • It's difficult, I think, naming a more awesome and brutal fighter plane than the F-15

  • I LOVE THE F-15E!

  • at 2:28 you can see the afterburner!! It looks very nice !!!! ANd very Good Video :D

  • f15 is a fighter jet personified

  • Job 1: Avoid the Earth.

  • great video (ive subscribed btw) but do you know why the USAF where in Wales??

  • Great video & sound. What video camera and mic setup did you use?

  • @juancho420 Sony Handycam HDR SR10, nice little performer.

  • Not a chance of getting out there without an airforce escort. It is a live weapons range. However if you know the right people you can get out to the guns range and sitting in the observation towers, watch them shoot targets with 20mm canon and missiles. If the shoot a little too early, the missiles break the sound barrier as they pass between the towers

  • @onebigski Sounds great, but like you say contacts are needed to get in there.

  • Brings back memories of watching all the different fighters take off from Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake Alberta where they hold Operation Maple Flag out over the 10,000 square mile weapons range. All kinds of jets from all over the world come out to compete. As kids we would collect squadron patches and I never got and Eagle Driver patch

  • @onebigski That is one big weapons range, I wonder if its possible to walk into the range for some great close views of aircraft ?

  • Excellent video, it must be hardwork keeping the camera still and keeping the aircraft in focus. How easy is this area to find by road?

  • @Scousefire its easy, Google the mach loop cad west, and there are some good websites with location details, but remember its down to luck if you see any aircraft.

  • Wow I wish we had someplace we could go to see something like this here in the states !!! I could stand there all day and watch this . It has to sound so amazing having these jets screaming by so close.Thanks for sharing this!!!! Awesome!!!

  • @HUNTERROB357 Its great we have the Lakenheath airbase in the UK, the USAF is most welcome here.

  • @Wonkabar007 It gets better - Centerparcs holiday village is right in between Lakenheath and Mildenhall, you can plonk the family in there for a week while you get to admire a billion dollar airshow every day - and if you're really lucky you get woken at 6.00am by the happy sound of multiple afterburners singing in harmony. Bliss. Centreparcs is great, sod the squirrels. (My daughter asked "Did that aeroplane go straight up?" I told her yes, that's what F15s do).

  • yeah totally. I wish we had places like this here in the states. I could lay down on the grass and hear those roars and feel the speed of combat jet aviation all day.

  • yeah totally. I wish too that we had places like this here in the states. Lying down on the grass hearing those roars and feeling the speed of combat jet aviation all day. I'm totally addicted to that roar and can't wait to go to Andrews AFB again this year.

  • Simply jizztastic...

  • very well done!
